Really nice progress

Thanks for the compliments and likes everyone.  Update - the head gratings are completed - they took me longer than I expected to get all of the spacing accurate. I should have the seats of ease and the false rails mounted soon.

Hi All,
 
Well all of the carronades and long guns have been rigged and rope coils placed.

 

 
I also put the pumps in place.
 

 
 
Next up I’ll be doing the rudder and tiller. Thanks for stopping by and all the likes.
 
 

It's looking really good

Time for my weekly update.  I have spent the week fitting and installing the half and cant frames on the stern and bow.  As you can see in the pictures, there is a lot of fairing that is going to have to be done.  But first I plan to shape and fit the transoms and the hawse timbers.  I also plan on installing some filler pieces to help sturdy up the hull for fairing.  Even though she is going to need quite a bit of fairing, I can already see her lines.
 
Anyways, here are the pictures of how she sits now.  As always, any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks for the comments and I like them.
  Small advances

Fixed that for you

Hello some progress - gun deck is almost done..

I know I am going a bit in reverse here, but I managed to rig the yards and complete all of the rigging today.  I will have more detailed photos as I sort them out but since I havent posted in a while I thought I would show the model as it stands now.   All that remain to be done are the anchors and buoys and the entry way stanchions.  Plus a little clean up.  But I still try to sneak in some model time even though it has been crazy nuts lately.
 
The yards were made from square stock....taken to octagon and then the outsides tapered and rounded off.   Once painted black the blocks and stirrups and horses were added along with the other half of the sling.
 
The same was done to the topsail yard.  I will have plenty of more detailed images of the rigging once Mike drops by with his camera.   He doesnt know this yet but I plan on asking him to help me photograph this stuff.  Photographing rigging with a point and shoot is impossible.
 
Anyway here are the photos.  The flag is just a test and I am living with it for now as I try new things.   I like it but I dont know how much.   Its printed on tissue paper for wrapping gifts with my inkjet.   Then its sprayed thoroughly with flat clear fixative.   It is soaked pretty good and molded before it completely dries.  This stiff may be too thin though...but lets see what others think once they see it in person.  It does shape nicely with various size paint brush handles.
 

 

 

 
 

Really wonderful. I love your precise joinery.

excellent milling job

Absolut wonderful progress Nils. Your model is fantastic.
Sometimes, especially at the bridge, the color is in my opinion a little bit thick, but it looks together with the other parts of your model absolut great.

Wonderful model. Really nicely done
