Thank you Brian
but there are also angles which look bad. Photography can be a great liar. The lens sees completely different things than what the human eye sees but fortunately for us, sometime it looks good and often it is just a matter of luck.

This morning, I wanted to test shooting from the top .
The next working area will be the second deck, to add a few details and close that deck.
Recently, Lightroom did a major step in his program. You can now select any part of the photos and work only on a part at the time modifying what you want. By example, if one part of the photo, from any size, is too dark, you can increase the light.
It is now possible to do steps that were only possible in photoshop before. By example, you can change a background color in one easy step. I wonder what kinds of mathematical formulas are involved to achieve this. The only drawback, to use it you need to pay annual fee. It is not worth if you only take few photos every year, but it is acceptable if you take a lot of photos. It is a great tool to retouch the photos and also to organize the classification.

Hello,
it is done, the windows are ready and build in. The lacquer at the acrylic glas may dry a little more and then I hope they look a little more even.

Hello and many thanks for your comments and likes
Håkan, splicing is't wich work. I did it in real life many times before and here it is only a little smaller 😉 Today I tried one rope at the model, they are too short and too thin ☹️ So I have the chance for two other splices.
The two window are out now and the new ones more or les ready. They have to dry properly, and then I will give them a thin coat of clear lacquer. So that the glas would't look too plain. I worked this time a little more accurate and it looked much better.
I made the windows for the Dragon from mica. So I know, it is not easy to work with it. But it is clear and plain. And I know also glas from the 18th century. It's not so plain like the glas today, but it is not blind. From looking trough it, you could get sea sick. I think, the mica at the contemporary models are also coated with glue ore lacquer and over the last 200 years it is getting blind and wavy.
This is the 60 gunner 1:60 I saw in Chatham. And that at that scale! So tomorrow more about windows, I hope.

Hello and thank you for all your likes
Today I finished the chain plates at the star board side.
I see it every time at the pictures, but the underwater ship is't so dirty. That is mostly noise in the picture.
The next thing would be, finishing the anchor lining. There I have 3 opportunities
After Goodwin the upper part should be parallel lined, but I found also models where it is't so. I would let the lining end under the channel, not in front of it, and prefer the curve #2. At these older ships the channels where mostly set at the waist rail, later below it, and I would't brake that line. At the models you see it sometimes so, or so.

Hello,
it is done, the port side is ready!
And I got a new toy, an LED ring lamp. She is good for working , and taking pictures through it. But that I think only at a short distance. You could dim in 10 stages and change the white temperature from cold, white to warm. And she is amazingly light.

Hello
and many thanks for your nice comments and likes. I'm overwhelmed 😮
I finished the fore mast port side and started with the main mast.
And that are the bolts who hold the chain plates in place. But today wasn't my day. So I stoped working. There where a 0,8mm bold should fit, I tried a 1mm bold and for the 1mm bold I drilled 0,8mm holes! And all ready with CA saturated 😬

Hello,
all the deadeyes and the first chainplates are installed. It takes so long, because the paint doesn't dry really good now.
Here are all parts together
And there some of them now
I did install also the chain-painter chain. What a funny name! I hope it will fit later with the anchor
And the whole ship. So for the next weeks I think, I'm busy to install the rest of them.

Hello, a short update
When I'm building the first deadeyes, I had only the pictures from the Centurion in my head 😐
They build the straps filled with tin! Over night I was thinking about this and thought that this is't right. So the next morning I changed it.
The „new“ deadeyes, above, look now much more correct. The one to the left are those for the fore mast, I build yesterday. Today I changed my strategy from soldering them, to glueing them. Here the first one for the mizzen mast. That is at least much easier 🙂

Hello,
today I finished the first deadeyes, or put them straps on. After clearing how to do it and wich dimensions and which material, it worked really fine. I forged the strap around the deadeyes flat, because the had a broad groove. These are 9 mm deadeyes, I got from Poland. Others I have from the US, and Canada. So they are really international. The copper wire is 1 mm in diameter.
And here the first test sitting
So, if you did't hear the next time anything from me, I'm busy with the rest of them 🙂

Hello

today I installed the first parts to the fore and main channels. Don't ask me how there name is 😟 They are in the second row. Next, in the first row, the deadeyes are to be done.

Hello,

Hello and thank you for your likes,
during the paint at the billboard dried, I made the ropes for the gun port lids. And because I had the ropewalk set up, I made also the ropes for the gammoning. Here I tried also same splices en miniature. The right one was the first, but the second is, I think ok.
And here the first windows. The smaller ones I have to rebuild, because they separated when I tried to cut them to the right size. The larger one, for the captains gun port, did it well. The only thing is, that the glue made the acrylic glas blind. I don't really know what to do with them. I glued the wood to the acrylic glas with the glue for acrylic, but that solved also the paint from the frames ☹️

Work on Pegasus starts again.
First on the list was to tie the upper deck into the wing transom.

Here is an example why it can be interesting to build at a larger scale:
When the anchor is lift on the ship there is a cable which is part of the cathead, the name is bosse de bout. This cable probably slip on an arched wood part named skate of the bosse de bout. It is also probably turned around the railing ounce or two and may be by having this skid, it slides easier? To know a clear answer, more research is needed or may be someone knows how.
