Happy New Year~! I have finished all the hull & deck related work last week. Instead of starting the mast & rigging work on GH1, I decided to work on GH2 for a while - plan to finish the hull & deck work on GH2 before resuming work on GH1. I plan to apply different style, deck configuration, colour schemes and etc for GH2. I will be posting the work on GH2 only on the areas that do not duplicate the previously posted work streams. Below are some pictures taken from the last hull & deck work on GH1. Also posted are some pictures with unfinished masts put in place.

Hi Robert~ Thanks for your comment! I blackened them chemically. I usually put the chemical in a small plastic holder and put it in a bigger container that has hot water in it. This way, the chemical process happens almost instantly and I can save time and the amount of chemical to be applied. Hope this clarifies~ Rock

The cannons are all rigged and fixed in place.

The cannon work begins with single blocks (without hooks) being attached and rigged to the cannon carriage. There will be no hooks attached to these single blocks as there are not enough space to have hooks on boths ends - won't have room for tight rigging. The double blocks that are connected to the inner hull wall and to the other end of the rigging have been constructed with hooks. The demi-culverins are installed in a slightly different configurations - 2 cannons fully deployed, 2 cannons on a stand-by positions.

Hello shipmates! I am nearing the end of 1st phase (completion of hull structure) of the GH1 construction. The only areas left for the hull work are the installments of cannons and the main mast knighthead. I have included just a few pictures of the main mast knighthead as there were ample pictures presented during the fore mast knighthead construction. The main mast knightheads are not fixed to the deck as final fixing to the deck will be done after the cannons are all installed.

Thanks very much, Patrick!

Overall view of the new additions on the quarterdeck & poop deck looks OK~ And some more additional works done. Finally, the overview of the whole ship with the recent additions.

Hello shipmates~ Final work on the decks contuned...slowly. Installed the rails for the quarterdeck and poop deck. Below are the pictures taken during the process - very similar to the forcastle deck rail construction, so will keep comments short.

Thanks very much for your advise, Allan~ Much appreciated! BTW, I am not aware of the RMG site. If you could enlighten me a bit further on RMG site, it would be great! Thanks!

Hi Allan, I am sure that they did NOT use belaying pins during the 16th century! As I mentioned at the start of the belaying pin work in the forecastle area some time ago, I originally planned to use no belaying pins. However, looking at the sheer number of rigging that I need to do later, I decided to use some belaying pins. Just a bit of compromise between historical accuracy and ease of work on rigging. After trying this particular method for GH1 and if I figure out a way for tackling all the rigging without help from some belaying pins, I will definitely apply it to GH2 and beyond. Regards, Rock

Hi Robert~ Thanks very much for your kind words! It is indeed good to be back~ And I realized how we take for granted our health and well functioning body! Regards, Tock

I still feel a little bit clumsy with my left index finger. And as such, work is not as satisfactory as before. Anyway, for the whipstaff house, I just chose a simple (but robust) design. The end result is kind of cute and quite strong structurally. Below are the photos on this endeavor. The whipstaff house is not attached yet to the deck as I will need some space to work on the mizzen mast area and etc.

Continuing on grating and some work on the quarterdeck knighthead(? not sure if this is the right jargon). My beloved IKEA drill is broken..... So, until I get a new IKEA drill (I intend to get another IKEA drill!), some work that requires drill will need to wait - some refinement to be done later on the quaterdeck knighthead(?).
