    Thank you mates for encouraging! Well, I'm about to fix the platforms and glue the capping rails in place.

    Nice work Jason, absolutely nice work. Could you please specify the tip (?) with the wire helping place the knot where you want to ? Thanks.

    Trying to place on the right (middle) point of the bulwark the posterior edge of the capping rail. Its pre-shaped posterior arch and bending can't help me at all. Thinking to leave it as it is, as a so-called lateral "offset", on that place. Hope to not create additional troubles following next phases...

    Thank you again Jim.

    Hi Jim does the distance between the pillars are suitable to that of the keel holes you've opened in advance? Thanks Stergios

    Those shearing lateral forces of the bad-shaped capping rail especially at the stern is a huge headache for me. I think that using beam or heat is a useless option to decrease the unwanted curvature at the rear edge.... I hope to finally have a nice result with those 1 mm wires....

    Two planks (1,5 mm each) help me to place and drill the capping rails in the middle border (between the inner and outer bulwarks... I try to do my best despite the fact that the capping rails and bulwarks respectively are'nt cut in relative harmony... Out of plan for another time...

    I was thinking about glue, only as a coverage of the holes, Pete...

    Thank you Jason. Any recommendation on the type of fast drying stuff? You know, local products are'nt the same and personal experience is highly required..!

    Thinking of use carpenter;s glue to cover those 1 mm holes before the final painting instead of wood filler... What;s your suggestion? Thanks
  11. drtrap
    The whole procedure finally was so easy. I used the 0,25 line for the rigging. Next step: the capping rails....
  12. drtrap
    Thanks Pete, I'm thinking to start from the tiller the rigging, going bilaterally to the eyelets/blocks and finishing at the wheel....
  13. drtrap
    Thanks again Jason. I thought that you used the 0,1 line, I think I read yesterday your thosedays post....
  14. drtrap
    The wheel in place, finally. A question still in debate: the rope for the wheel... Should I use 0,1 or 0,25 line for the rigging? And something for the front platform: is it a major fault to leave it's gap (for the bowsprit) rectangular than to shape it in a semicircular fashion, like you did ?

    A custom made mini ruler for the symmetry of the anchoring holes....
  16. drtrap
    You're always welcoming, Jason. Thanks for the photo!
  17. drtrap
    Small quick update... and ready to fix the wheel on the deck
  18. drtrap
    Nice tutor Jim! Absolutely helpfull
  19. drtrap
    Yes Jason I tend to reduce the height, I placed the ladders uncut and temporarily.... I can imagine you've opened the holes for the breeching so close to the eyelet's hole for the wheel....
  20. drtrap
    So realy difficult to place all the deck fittings back here... Especially to find the right spot to drill the front holes for the eyelets of the wheel rigging, because of the holes of the last caronnade. I think I need to study your previous photos mates! The fittings are placed temporarily of course...
  21. drtrap
    A couple of pics from my latest work... It was the best opportunity to see and understand better the sizes of the weaponry...
  22. drtrap
    ...everything is so clear now.... Cheers
  23. drtrap
    Thanks Jason, I'm still trying to fit those tiny parts. I;m not so sure about the orientation of the quoin. Should I place it onto the bed or "in line" with it? In a vertical or horizontal placement? The instructions are'nt so helpful, as you know....

    Hey Jim, you;re running like the wind. She's so beautiful !!
