Hi Jim I'm counting a total of 21 pieces (parts 8, 15, 16, 17, 18 and those three of the mizzen mast on plan No 3) and i feel lucky cause all those 21 pieces are in the box of the kit. I'm so tired in ordering everytime new supplies and waiting approx. two weeks for the delivery....

Yes Jim, for the mo I'm seeing on the plans only the most aft three pairs of them, on the rear platform...

Trying to find the places for the 14 deck cleats. I've located the 6 of them at the rear platform deck

Thanks Jim for the help. I'd like to ask you, it is important to fix the deck eylets as tightly as I can to withstand the tension of the line/rigging of the masts? Thank you again

When I'm lloking the aftermarket casting fittings, I believe that the quality of the material is the same like those standard of the kit...
-
I feel so tired every time I need to order aftermarket fittings especially to cover/substitute cheap and deficient materials.. The casting-material of the bulwark cleats is so deficient that the central pin is broken following a minor stress...... So I'm about to place my aftermarket order for another time..... Wishing to do it for the last time, I'd like to ask you my snake-friends do you suggest (from your advanced experience) to order any additional casting fitting should I need during the next stages (masts, etc...) Thanks mates! Stergios

Hi Jason I was ready to post a relative question on this issue. I remember quite well your concern going back to last October... Thanks again anyway!!
-
All the 18 carronades in place... I've placed the additional couple of the cannons temporarily in front of the most anterior openings just to have a general idea.. My plan is to continue (and finish) with the tackling of the carronades & cannons and leave the deck fittings fixing (ladders, capstan, companionway, pumps) for later ...

I'm about to sand and fix the aft ladders in place... Jason, Jim have you painted/varnished the wallnut of such deck fittings or have you left them uncovered as natural walnut? Thanks. Stergios
-
Thanks Patrick I'm asking to bond wood to wood items trying to avoid those undesired glossy spots from the cyano micro-leakage on the deck... Cheers

Hi mates, a basic question about pva glue: are you sure that is contraindicated for glueing fittings on varnished surfaces (deck, etc)? Thank you.
-
I'm pretty happy with the installation of the most aft pair of the carronades. Now I can deal with the placing of the ladders of the rear platforms...
