Very nicely done, must get myself a rotary table for the mill

 

Steve

The rotary table for the mill is very useful accessory - I used it for the next part - the stairs.

Rest of pictures.

Some pictures from capstan production.

I can not find words. Great idea, wonderfull result. I look forward to continuing.

Thanks for nice comments.

Some small details are added on the hull - the side stairs, anchor lining and the rudder chain.

David, Peter - thanks for nice comments.

Next part of construction - gratings. This was my first attempt to scratch-build the grating. On the last picture you can see the difference between kit and scratch-built grating.

Hi all,

thanks for nice comments.

Work continues with two small doors.

Hi sparrow,

nice to see you again here.

Your work on new decorations is really fabulous

Fabulous model, the detailed works are great and a credit to you well done.

Thanks normanh, work on the details is lengthy, but it makes the model a better look.

Chain-plates were finished and whole assembly is mounted on the hull.

Lower deadeyes are mounted to the chanells - assembly is readdy for installation on the hull.

Chanells with supports - I didn´t use plywood parts from the kit, but I made my own from pear strip.

Decoration of the hull.

Production of cleats.

Modification of upper side ornaments.

Thanks for comments.

To Bedford - I was thinking of white-off painting under the waterline at the beginning, but then I decided to let the hull unpainted to show the planking.

Next part - timberheads.

Hello

Excellent build, great explanations and photos, thanks a lot. DAVID

Hi David, thanks for compliment.

Rear windows and gallery instalation.

Thanks Steve.

Next step - Installation of the side windows.

Top rail of the beakhead - realization took me quite a long time since I've rebuilt many times some parts. The whole set is very fragile, so I decided to put the whole assembly still only provisionally. Definitely will be placed on the hull and finished after completion of the hull.

So I finally started to make the beakhead. RC model kit of Panart has a slightly different bow - dimensions and shape, in addition with my own mistakes (too raised wales on the bow), so it was very difficult to make the beakhead same way as in AOS. And because I did not want to use the system of beakhead from a kit I had to implement a number of compromises during this part of construction.
In the first stage, I made ​​the cheeks, whose shape and location is affected by the errors of the model. At the same time I made the sheave block and bumpkins that I will need for realization and position of top rails of beakhead. I used Proxxon milling machine for shaping of bumpkins

Rudder minor improvements - added the wood lock and rudder-coat.

Hi all,

thanks for nice comments.

Steve - I use ordinary water based acrylic matt varnish, the colors are water-based acrylic paint too - I like acrylic paints - they dry relatively quickly, work well upon them and look pretty.

Next part of build - scuppers.

Front railing is now completed.

Lovely.. I like the stoppers on the anchor cables.  A very nice detail.

Thanks for compliment.

After front top deck mounting I continue with railing and cathead. I needed special planks with the exact thickness 0,7 mm for the cathead. I helped with my Proxxon milling machine. I made the cathead somewhat shorter, so I had to extend the cathead.

Hi Steve,

I'm glad you like my build log. I will post new pictures from today.

I´m starting with placing of components on the main deck under the front top deck and top front deck installation.

Last part of re-posted pictures - new pictures will follow.
