Build log part 31
aft deckhouse (command cabin and nav- and Chart-room) and spare aft anchor.
the blue guy had always become too much Porridge as a Baby already and now has to leave the Crew for his size
chest-cover to sit on, for the auilliary rudder mechanics, here still without wheel
some brass pinrails to the deckhouse, and the main rudderstand saddle for the 3 steering wheels, this rudderstand (the wheels) is operated manualy if necessary by up to 6 men
the Long boom outside starboard bulwark is swivible and required for fastening the boats in water (when rigged 90° square to the hull). The brass wire through the top spanner-eyelets is only preliminary and prevents the spanners from tilting down between bulwarks and inboard pinrails
vents and Skylight added on top of the small well-deckhouse

marktiedens reacted to DiKri in Wasa by DiKri - Corel - 1626-1628 1:75
All masts and spars are ready with blocks attached according to the Corel plans.
I placed the masts on the hull just for the photo. The background isn't what it should be, but nice pictures is for later...
Next I experimented a little bit with a Bosch PLL5 laser pen as help in aligning the masts. Seems to be very helpfull...

Here's a small update on the jacks:
Carving the roman soldiers. The real ones are very corroded and little details can be seen, so I went for a design I liked.
