Hi Captain Al!
Thank you for your clarification, I now understand.
I'm going to show other scene here, which was a little earler.
Hemingway wrote about this episode so:
He was a very big Make shark built to swim as fast as the fastest fish in the sea and everything about him was beautiful except his jaws.
His back was as blue as a sword fish’s and his belly was silver and his hide was smooth and handsome. He was built as a sword fish...
When the old man saw him coming he knew that this was a shark that had no fear at all and would do exactly what he wished. He prepared the harpoon and made the rope fast while he watched the shark come on. The rope was short as it lacked what he had cut away to lash the fish.
The shark closed fast astern and when he hit the fish the old man saw his mouth open and his strange eyes...

I could not choose which the scheme of installation of the sail to use, but Spencer Tracy helped me do it

I also have thought that in some places there may be some amount of rust.

New harpoon looks so

Two new parts - two variants of an anchor and a harpoon.
P.S. I made these details are not too good, so I'm going to make them again.

Then I installed these details on their places. I also try to make this boat a very old

I also made one more mount for the helm.
Then I blacked out these details

Here are the last two planks I added to the Meridea. I now have a different camera which takes much more detail, once I finish learning how to work with it.

Patrick, if we all focused on our mistakes we would give up on model making. So we forge ahead in spite of our mistakes and when we finish we hear, "Wow, that's great", and "You did a great job", and "How do you do such lovely work?" But we look at what we built and say, "Well maybe it's not so bad after all".

Not that bad??? No, it's great, sir. Don't beat yourself up because we all our own worst critics.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all of your comments and Likes. Very much appreciated!
Majellan has large awnings that stretch over the decks to provide shade to the guests on board. The first awning covers the spa on the Sun Deck, whilst the second stretches over the large settee on the Bridge Deck. I've started to do a mock-up of these awnings, which can be seen in the following photos.
Internally, I've continued with the fit out of the owner's suite, in particular a small office area that sits just aft of the entrance to the sleeping area.
Still loads of work to go, of course.
I hope you enjoy the photos!
All the best, folks.
Cheers
Patrick

The figurines are fine. Instead of being 1.83 m (6 feet) tall they are 1.68 m (5 1/2 feet) tall.

Many thanks Bob and Denis,
for your nice compliments
and all the "likes".... for the button clicks
I`ve changed the ratline color, as the other thread was a bit pale...
In lack of crew figurines in scale 1:144 here are some samples in railway "N" scale (1:160), trust they will do as well....although a tiny bit too small in hight
