better late than never........I had made some progress a couple of days ago, and I wanted to add more before I showed it to you. I finished sanding the first set of bow rails, and installed them on the Jingle Belle. I made up a pair of side rails for her, but I can't do them at this time. I need to get the front wall of the warming room framed and sheeted. I still need to frame in the windows {they will be doubles}, and the door tread is already in place. they will be double doors. I have done more.......I'll try to get them up for you soon. tomorrow I need to get a new keyboard and mouse........everything seems to be breaking down all at once!

Sven isn't too much off the mark.......oil journals would increase lubrication for the rod bearings {if you plan on going that route}. chances are your going to go with a splash type form of internal lubrication. to incorporate an oil pump of any kind, would need to run from the cam shaft.

the more you've added, the better it looks super bit of work there Nenad. I've never used that method with saliva.......but I have used it to pick up small parts from the floor......when I dropped them nice tutorial for doing the decorations....it sounds so logical -
looking very nice.......when you cap them off, are you going to go all the way around, or just the fronts? I just align the gun ports with the slots in the plate. since a very small portion of the plate will locate forward of the mast {if at all}, it makes the location a bit easier to discern.

the ship's boats will be the perfect break from all the tedious stuff. they won't look like that one though.......a bit more..rustic. of course, some might think your stalling do you plan to use the plug method? as I say when faced with repetitious steps.......thanks be to the sub assemblies and mini builds that starve the boredom!
-
for your first build, looks like you've done a great job. you've made good use of the blonde woods {unstained}, and I really like how your ship's boat came out to add new techniques to this build would be a detriment.........you've put way too much character in this build, to muddle it.
-
I followed your work before.....on another site perhaps? I have the PT boat by Marine Models...a friend saw it on E-Bay and got it for me. I haven't started it yet, since I have such a backlog of works in progress. your Morgan look very good.....lots of really nice detail. a very fine build indeed Denis
-
any progress is a good thing Clare......I should know I cut up a bunch of my old tee shirts to drape over them, so they don't get too dusty. cost is no object for our 'children'....after all, we want them to look good!
-
good to see your still working on this one........looks pretty good

my condolences as well Nenad. -
do they supply trim parts for the portholes? if the kit doesn't, look in my Holiday Harbor build......I have a little thing in there about eyelets that you might find interesting. I also show the panels for the Danmark kit. they have a porthole arrangement is is somewhat similar to what your doing. looking good my friend!

very nice progress.......super deck shot
-

-

thanks Piet........I will need to thin them down just a tiny bit. the wood I used is standard measurement......and apparently the bow caps for the Boulogne must be metric. don't think I have any planking that thick either......most likely cut metric as well. not a big deal. I had good intentions to get to the table today {thanksgiving}.......but after a big meal, all I was lucky to do was get to my recliner! glad I could make you smile......I thought I'd see pockets where cement didn't get to.....but it looks like I did a good job of spreading it out. thanks for the likes everyone who chimed in

very nice start on the sails and rigging Nils......judging from that drawing, you've been doing quite a bit of homework!
