I started preparing the mast
-
Last elements before starting with the masting: the nets of the gangways. I used a cardboard holder of a suitable size, threading very thin cotton thread diagonally between the cuts and then using another thread in the opposite direction by tying knots in it

Great work!!! -
fantastic!!!

What an incredible job you are doing, Johann! Your model should be taken as an example for all those who want to equip their own! Absolute perfection!!!

I finished the figurehead:

First wing fixed: The second wing:

After a break, I started to prepare and set up the figurehead; everything is still provisional, I don't like it very much, I had to remove some details to make room for the bowsprit, but I'm going ahead and I hope it will be more presentable.

A modeller friend rightly pointed out to me that there is an official drawing of the time for this ship. I looked everywhere except where I should have looked! Change of plan:
-
I started to set the figurehead. I looked for an image that would fit and among many, I chose this one, to be adapted in the back to fit into the spur. The challenge is very difficult, I don't know what will come out of it, I hope to achieve something acceptable

I fixed the anchors and fish davit

Thank you Joachim! For burnishing metals (I almost always use brass or, alternatively, copper) I use this product that I bought in the armoury. For the burnishing process, I prefer to burnish the metal parts after they are permanently attached to the model. First, however, it is necessary to treat the underlying wood with a coat of shellac to seal the pores of the wood and prevent the burnishing liquid from penetrating into the fibres and ruining their appearance with stains that are difficult to remove.

The billboard, bolster and lining:

after some time I resumed work on the model by finishing the laying of the deadeyes and chains:
-
GREAT JOB!!!!
-
For the correct attachment of the deadeyes, I have set up a temporary mast with the exact spot where the shrouds will be fitted. In this way, by pulling a line all the way over the channels, I can define the perfect inclination of the chains:

For now, I am gaining experience with this type of welding, but I must say that it has undoubted advantages, if only for the convenience of use

I am sharing a video I made for those interested in small metal welding. Following some tutorials and videos, I built myself a resistance welder; it is a type of welder that they use mainly in model railways, where it is necessary to make many close welds. This type of soldering iron uses a 10 Ah transformer with 3-6V outputs and has the advantage that it heats, by means of a small graphite electrode and a ground wire, exactly the spot where the soldering is to take place for just a few seconds; this means that you can also make close-set soldering joints without running the risk of desoldering those previously made. Various types of tips can be used, including a ‘clamp’ system, which is very useful when parts to be soldered must be held together. Everything else is self-made and I must say that I am very satisfied with the results! Translated with DeepL.com (free version) https://youtu.be/XRzU--9uhBA
