a few steps forward:

After a long time, I have finally reached the end of building the galley stove:
-
With these few pictures I try to explain how I do my welding. The parts must be well cleaned and kept in contact. With a brush I spread the flux all over the part to be soldered. With a flame soldering iron I heat everything around until the flux starts to boil. Now it is time to apply some of the solder, which is a silver-based rod. Care must be taken to protect soldering joints already made with a heat-insulating paste

what precision and what cleanliness!!! you are one of the best modellers I know! Unmatched! One question: will you leave the rudder hinges in brass or use burnisher? (How I love those planes of yours!!!) -
hello Kevin and thank you for your appreciation. As you can also see from the last photo, I am using a heat-absorbing paste to protect the soldering done previously and I must say that it works very well! I simply cut the sheet metal with a pair of scissors as the thickness is very thin (0.25 mm). You can't see it in the photo but I use a wooden counterform for assembly.

I've never seen the deck treated with cyanoacrylate before!!! Isn't there a risk of making it too plasticky?

The gratings: I have taken a little liberty in interpreting the fore hatch gratings as far as the passage of the elbows is concerned. I was inspired by the work done by Matiz on his Euryalus, although perhaps the eras are slightly different.

I wanted to try something that is rarely seen on a model: hammocks:

Sorry Kevin I would like to point out to you that you made a small mistake about the position of the metal piece at the stern: it serves to reinforce the joint between the stern straight and the end of the keel:
