I have uploaded pictures of the continuation of construction, unfortunately today I had a malfunction that I caught the front mast with a drill and the bar broke at the beginning of the rod, I stuck the broken part including drilling holes and inserting a nail in the two parts, you can see it in the picture I put,

Very nice work on this pretty little boat.  The wood finish is excellent.  One caution: when building "Swift", another AL kit, I noticed that the channels were narrow, and when the deadeyes were rigged, the lanyards rubbed against the rail!  A big No-No!  I had to widen the channels, so the deadeyes were moved further outboard, and when rigged to the shrouds, the lanyards between the deadeyes no longer rubbed on the rail.  This is a design flaw in "Swift", but might be present in other AL "small" ships that have little or no tumblehome at the bulkheads.

You're right to be careful with the wires on the sides of the ship, I checked it and so I kept the holes farther towards the outside.

 

Thank you very much for the encouraging comments, it's a shame that the front bar broke and I was forced to fix it as I attached a close-up picture.

good evening
Need your help with a problem
I accidentally mispainted the rod and stuck it with carpenter glue, you can see the paste in the picture I attached, do you have a patent to strengthen the rod?
I also filmed the space of wires to see if it was far enough from the railing.
What do you think please?

i don't under your question about mispainting the rod, are you asking how to dissolve carpenter glue? Or how to strip paint?

good evening
I painted the anchor with acrylic paint.
Originally it came silver, I painted with a primer and then with black, after drying I did an effect with a silver color for a polished anchor.
what do you think?

Roni !  I'm sorry, but the deck on the ship always has a curvature in cross section. I too have built this model, but in a different perspective and color. I'm sure I have this right... You certainly have a right to your opinion! Sorry if I was rude or harsh...
