The waterways needed some pizzazz so at this scale (and that the bulwarks will be painted) grabbed some molded plastic:
That went into place pretty straightforward (superglue) and really did the trick:
Working towards the application of sanding sealer so I can paint it up. The list is shrinking but still a ways to go.

Getting into the flow of planking when time allows. Gone this weekend but the goal is to have this part done next week.
I have cut away the planks underneath the deck fixtures for a more solid fit. I am liking the result. For each plank I am putting Titebond glue on the underside.

One of the reasons you do these trial setups is to verify. Well, I was pondering the picture I took and suddenly realized something was very 'odd.' The height of the supplied binnacles was way too large. They measured 3/4". In 1-100 scale this equates to over 6 feet tall. Well, I guess I am replacing those after all (the kit strikes again haha). As these were very different in design on the actual ship I had been going this way regardless.
I need to make some scale figure stand ins so these type of errors jump out immediately. That will also help with the ladders to be made.
Since I am doing an update I also wanted to provide the kit provided deck furniture verse what I came up.
Given the age of the kit this did not surprise me. Reminds me of the numerous balsa wood kit airplanes I built in the 70's. Big difference is now I have access to other sources of wood and skills to use them.
Now to figure out how best to make skylights for this scale.

A little trim makes a huge difference.

It´s really coming along nicely Mark. The deck planking and gratings are huge improvements on the kit parts.
Some time ago you asked for colour information on the masts. I came across the attached picture on Fregatten Jyalland´s Facebook page and it shows quite clearly the paint scheme.

Working through my view of how to do the deck fixtures. I think I am happy with the result. Getting these set will allow me to begin planking the deck. Notes: - The skylights (2) are currently placeholders. They will be replaced with better examples. - The binnacles (plastic) will have their posts replaced. May keep the top part. - All the belaying pin mounts are still TBD. Using cherry wood means I do not have to paint these. The funnel base is the one exception - black. Cheers, Mark -

Laying out the deck furniture is one of those milestones in a ships build. Looks great, Mark.

The chase holes and such were modeled after this piece of plan that Anders has shown previously.
The ship has undergone a lot of modification and somewhere a line in the sand (or hull haha) had to be drawn. I based the chase port off of the leading edge of the forward top deck - not the forward stem. To get this to my Uncle and move forward I am going to leave things as assembled.
I also think some camera distortion in the pic is making things look stranger.

Thanks Martes, but this is a conundrum of the original kit and not realizing how off the kit was. They were baked into the build before I realized how different the two were (reference the deck fixture observations above). I should re-iterate this kit is from the 60's-70's and not the latest incantation.
Pushing forward. Mark

The port side planking is complete. Next step is getting the deck fixtures set and get the main deck down. Weather is warming up so getting the sanding sealer on isn't too far off.
