I fixed the photos that were not seen......

foremast mast step and deck beams to hold

I have finally taken over the job left unfinished a few months ago.

I started the construction of the plateau of the pit of cables. It 'still to fix and finish

Wonderful!!!

Another little progress

A little progress......

thank you, friends, for your appreciation!

@Remco: yes, it's just like you said: in this way, I have the necessary space, after having removed the small cardboard,  to cut off the head of the nail

@uss frolick: for my work I'm using pear wood for carpentry and planking, ebony wood for everything that is black and boxwood for the moldings. Probably I will use maple wood for the planking of the bridge but I'm not sure yet....! 

A little progress...

Wonderful!!!!

I am very impressed by your work!...

Little progress:

small forward: laying the battens on the starboard side of the bottom

I started covering the bottom of the hold

thank you very much, friends!!!

I started to prepare the two courses of the battens "of the flowers" of the left side. A work quite long, since I've done all the joints by hand with a sharp knife.

I finally finished the nailing of the courses of the topside and I have built a temporary basis to hold the model out of the yard

Thank you very much Nils!! 

small forward: I finished reinforcements in ebony at the bow on the left side and nailing on the starboard side

Meanwhile, I am continuing the bandage left side and riveting to starboard.

Little progress:

I finished the installation of the courses between the doors and started to finish with fine sandpaper to remove the glue residue and the excess of black cardboard. I also finished the edges of the gunboats and scuttles the oars.

I continued with the bandage of the topsides, I realized I had made a serious error to paste the thresholds of the gunboats: the angle between the threshold and the side wall is pretty sharp and this did not allow for a perfect installation of the course below thresholds, for obvious reasons, leaving a little 'air.
I removed very carefully thresholds and set the course and the joints redone, everything went perfectly, although I remove a threshold, have resulted in the rupture of an oarlock to the coast, but this will not be seen because it will be covered by the plating .

some photos

Thank you!!  :)

Small forward: I set the molded course  on the left side and I started to wrap the starboard side starting with the two courses between the moldings at the stern, ebony

This is my "powerful" cutting tool for the oarlocks of double coasts:

is really a wonderful job!
everything is so realistic that it seems true!
