And the final spray, the inner railing..

Cleaned the holes in the gretings and waxed the rear deck..

The work is done to perfection. One would want to spend hours just looking at the precision of the work.

Thank you very much Gary!

 

I created the wheelhouse..

I started making ropes from thin Sajou threads. On the old ropewalk with a low-quality ride, the rope made mistakes for me. So I modified the entire ropewalk..

And now it's about something else!!

The hoists of the main mast have been completed with new ropes, they will now go below deck..

 

Now I can close the wall of the rear superstructure..

Hi Ondras - 

 

Beautiful work.  The new ropes came out especially well, with a nice tight and regular lay to the lines.

 

One small point of wording - the curved deck fitting is not a wheelhouse.  The Roter Lowe would have had a whipstaff, not a wheel.  The fitting is actually a cover for the man who operated the whipstaff, sometimes called the helmsman.  The opening in front is so that he can see the set of the mainsail and hear commands from the navigator and captain.  To bring his head up above the height of the deck he just stood on a box.  Sometimes the simple solutions are the best.  Here is a drawing of the whipstaff from E. Keble Chatterton's book -

Ondras, I was surprised to see how far behind I was in your log.  Your progress is astounding and the craftsmanship is just brilliant!

Thank you shipmodel. Bad translation. This is just below deck. O.

 

[shipmodel]

Ondras - 

 

Yes.  That is just what there should be.

It is good to see that the whipstaff is properly modeled, when it is not often seen.

Thanks for showing your work to us.

Back deck wall done..

After waxing, placed on the gun deck, secured with pegs in two wheels..

Restraint ropes created..

..and guns placed on deck..

 

Add hoists and place cannons below deck..👌

 

 

[Ondras71]

Thanks for the likes..

 

The model is placed on a baroque stand...

 

Cannon goals set up. Created an imitation of cable entanglement..

 

The first cannon goals in place..

 

And arranged more..

[Ondras71]

Finally placed the main guns below deck. Blackening is alchemy, take your time, 1:25 an ideal solution that does not stain..😵

Tangled end of rudder belay rope..

 

Mounted guns on deck..

Current status..

I started making "belaying pins"..

I provided the model with mast stumps and some belaying pins to participate in the competition..

..but this affected me....

So I'm sitting at home...😭

[Baker]

nice work, but bad news (corona)

get well soon.

[Prowler901]

Sorry about the Covid news...  

 

But, I must say very impressive work on the pins.  👍

[mtaylor]

I hope you have quick and good recovery so you can do what you love.

[ccoyle]

Praying for a speedy recovery. Get plenty of rest!

[Ondras71]

Hi guys and thank you.

In the end, the boat went to the Czech Championship, it returned unharmed. In the ship components category "C3D", the points went to the gold medal.😲 Satisfaction. But I miss the atmosphere of the competition and meeting with similarly strange people..😭

[Prowler901]

Congratulations!  Certainly well deserved.

[Ondras71]

Thank you all very much for the wishes and likes friends..

 

Continuation with the production of "belaying pins". The form has been modified a little, the pins are now smaller..

Comparison with the old one, a total of 58 pcs..

Pins on the bow. I have to darken them to make them stand out..

 

 

[Ondras71]

I still work with breaks. Other Small Staghorn harnesses..

More work on the largest triangular Deadeyes. Homemade production is literally done by hand..

 

I found new options for the MF 70 cutter..👌

side groove..

rounding of edges..

Test with 0.52 mm cable..

[Ondras71]

Finally forging deadeyes..

I used different lengths of fittings from the factory. I evened out the slope in the channels..

Belaying pins darkened and waxed..

[Baker]

The same comment as always 😉.

Again in big soldering..😵 I make "chains deadeyes" clamps. Brass 0.5 mm..

Drilled holes in the direction of the shrouds..

First placed eyes for "Masthead tackle"..

 

 

 

[Ondras71]

I gradually make deadeyes clamps called "chains deadeyes". Unfortunately, each piece is a different length..

The first foremast...

Placed guport lids are a big risk, I have already repaired..😭
