I had to install 2 of the guns before installing the framing and decking for the quarter deck.

Lots of progress since my last post. I have finished all of the guns and gun carriages. I had some issue with the brass blackening, but I am actually super happy with how they turned out. There is a bit of a cast look despite being turned from brass.

There are many amazing models on this site, but this is one of my role models for precision wood working. Incredible!

Timber heads and channels installed. I am thinking I may actually end up with a sailing galley

Here we are with all the little bits temporarily in place. Next I will work on the rudder and various cleats before turning to the upper deck.

I also managed to frame in the stern windows. Not sure yet if I will add something to simulate glass. Zoomed in photos are brutal, lol.

I have also spent the last several months learning some new skills. I turned all of the cannons and swivel guns on a Sherline lathe. There is a whole bag of practice cannons before I got to these. Next I need to learn silver soldering to finish these guys up as well as the various other metal working on the ship.

I have also been working on lots of little bits here and there. I am especially happy with how the capstan turned out.

Construction on the galley has proceeded in fits and starts since the last post. Time for some updates. I wasn't sure about adding treenails to the deck. I decided on yes, and am very happy with the result. Nails were made from cherry.
