Excellent work Giampiero. I'm sure the cartridges will be in the next photos 😜

Sorry to disappoint you, but I won't be filling these drawers, just as I won't be filling the holds with barrels...... 😜

This is the store for cartidrges

Friends, you are too good! I am just a simple modeller!

Last hold: a whole day's work, but perhaps it was worth it!:

I have completed the compartmentalisation of this part of the hold.

work continues on hold fittings:

The details are fantastic. Perhaps slightly out of scale but at these sizes its almost impossible to get this absolutely right. In many  cases if the scale was correct i don't think the pieces could be built. One of the models i submitted recently for judging,  one of the points i was heavily criticized for was as the hole size for the seine in the boat was  too small. It was the best i could find, and yes it was smaller than the real size for the  seine , but the only other option was to leave the seine out  all together. It was a fishing boat that used a seine so i am not sure what sense that would have made. 
i am rambling.  Makes me wish i had done this with the Thorn. 

Thanks Kevin! I follow your work very closely and try to get inspiration! It's a new type of construction for me, which I had never approached and I try to do the best I can.
The hinges are indeed a bit out of scale but functional; the alternative was to make them fake.

this part is particularly challenging!

work in the gunpowder store continues:

I bent two thin sheets of copper on itself around a 0.4mm brass wire; then I ground off the excess to form the joint. Finally, I strung the 0.4 mm wire to form the hinge.

Very very good Giampiero.

A great model.

If I lived in Italy, I would have to pay many visits to all of you.

I wait for you!!!

Some little progress:

Beautiful work as always. Be nice to see a few photos of the lights on inside the finished La Amarante if you have some. Cheers Pete

Such a pleasure to see your work in progress. While I included every detail in my Swan class build as well it is a sad fact that most of your current work will not be visible on the finished model, even with partially planked decks. If I had a do-over I would seriously consider adding LED lighting in some of these areas (such as the lanterns in the light room). I know nothing of these things but it seems very doable at your scale.

It wouldn't be a difficult job and I'm thinking about it.  I have already done this in my Amarante

Building the deck off the model requires that the hull symmetry is perfectly to spec. Not an easy job on a plank and frame model. Wonderful work, as always!

I was lucky: the differences are minimal! 😄

some advancement; I'm preparing the lower deck, nothing is definitively fixed

you are doing a great job, Oliver!

Beautiful work. What is the device you are using to scrape moldings?  It is impressive. 

It is only an old blade of saw, shaped  with a small wheel and with the help of a file

You're doing a great job!
You are my source of inspiration!

I started the construction of the beams of the lower deck;

everything is provisionally positioned:
