More parts and corrections. The incorrectly sized bowsprit went in for correction.

Hi Paul. Thank you very much for your kind words. Thank you also for your understanding and patience, I made a bit of a mess in the post. Oh my. Now I think I have the situation under control. First attempts at gluing the deck, the effect is satisfactory I think. I used epoxy resin to glue it, thanks to which I had a lot of time to adjust it calmly, about two hours for the resin to harden. Attention! You have to watch out for resin leaks, think carefully about planning the gluing and prepare everything in advance.

The deck and playing with pegs that I made from 0.3mm fishing line. It is not a faithful copy of the deck because over the years of intensive use of the ship, the arrangement of the boards is a complete chaos and without being there I am not able to faithfully recreate what is there.

Another painting and masking. This time I used Vallejo 70913 and 71057 paints, yellow ochre and workshop black according to the RAL sampler.
-
First painting after previous cleaning and checking for glue residue. I wanted to make the hull skin elements visible as much as possible and the detail of the plank structure as visible as possible. To achieve this, remember to dilute the paint and use a drying retarder. Good and careful preparation of the masking for work with an airbrush is half the battle.
-
And more elements are arriving on the ship, the shipyard is working at full speed, although in reality it is painstaking tinkering and corrections to elements I was not satisfied with. I decided to make fasteners, I made the device by making a 0.4mm hole in a flat bar and a 0.3mm drill. I knocked them out of an aluminum can, making small circles.

Next stage of the deck. I chose a different path to achieve the goal. Below are some photos of my work with matter.

Thank you for your kind words. My work with this model began with this very portal. Searching for information about this ship led me to this place. Charles W Morgan is the history of America, so I found the most information about this ship here and in the process I discovered many fantastic modelers who struggle with the subject of its construction. I am from Poland, I hope that my sentences are quite legible, my English is not the best and I am forced to use a translator.

Everything transferred, I also added a few more photos.

My Charles is supposed to be an aged model, linden wood is perfect for this project, it adds a natural age to the model and the atmosphere of those times. The lower part of the ship is made of copper, which makes it easier to make the planking, which does not require so much focus. The modeler should focus his energy and precision on watching the hull axis and symmetry, controlling rotation and uncontrolled deformation while the glue is drying. At this stage, there is still a lot that can be fixed.

According to the plans included in the kit, I couldn't figure out exactly what the stern looked like. I found original photos that dispelled all my doubts and in the course of creating the model I made several corrections to the mistakes I had made.

The model is very interesting in terms of rigging, it has a whale suspension system and a gangway on which sailors worked. It does not have a large number of cannons, its weapons are seven boats for harpooners, buckets, barrels and a furnace for rendering fat. When building the model, you have to constantly watch the axis of symmetry and the delicate curves of the deck and bulwark, which define the beauty of this hull. All lines are curves that you have to focus on, in addition to this there are elements of hull reinforcements that have to be rhythmically set vertically, preferably in relation to the level (line) of the ship's draft.
