Thanks for the kind words, Denis. I already started laying down the decals tonight. If they are dry tomorrow evening, will start putting on the clear top coat.

today's update...
mounted the swivel guns
the bits of tape you see in the photos are holding the outside edge of each respective chain plate in position so they don]t get mixed up until I can get them mounted...probably next week
I decided to mount the main guns...I originally rigged them with blocks but the smallest I had was 2 mm which looked way out of scale, so I stripped then off and just went with the run out tackle and holding lines, may add a few dark spots to simulate blocks...not sure yet
rope coils for gun tackle
rigged guns. you can start to see some of the light weathering I'm applying as I go in the second shot
overall shot of all the deck furniture to this point
the for all the likes later

worked on the swivel guns
started with some rolled paper...added some pva to hold the tube together and added bent wire to represent the stock
tied on some light line to represent the strengthening rings and added them to the prepared stanchions
and added paint
stanchions need painted...not yet sure what color though

Well done Jack, your use of artists oils has me integrated...may I ask how you prepared them to paint on plastic? Did you have to prep the styrene in any way to get them to lay properly...how did you apply them?

JCT, They aren't "oil" but rather water base artist acrylics. I prepped the plastic with Tamiya Fine Surface Primer in a rattle can. I then applied the paint with a brush. I dip the brush in water then take a dab of paint on the brush, then a little more water, then mix it around till it thins out then apply it to the model. Same mixing/blending technique an artist uses to put acrylic on canvas. I use a plastic egg carton style palette I get in Michaels. There is probably 4 maybe 5 thin coats of paint on the model when I am done I overspray with Testors Dullcoat to seal the paint and decals..
Winsor Newton produces both oil and water base artist paints.
