Thank you very much, David! I'm using ebony and brasilian boxwood

A few small accessories:

Hi Alessio! I have been following your model for a long time! I'm happy to find you here again!
-
I didn't know how to make the draught marks on the bow; I had the idea of using old lead alloy printing type that I had used to cast the guns. This is the result, still to be finished.
-
I went a little further with the masts:
-
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

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

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.
