Hello, just came across your build log. Very impressive, clean and crisp work, congratulations!

 

Also came upon your mystery photo regarding channels and it reminded me of a photo I had from the training ship "Mircea" of the Romanian Navy, built in 1881 by Thames Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company in London/Orchard Yard, Blackwall. The photo is from around 1940 with the ship already in conservation (it was set afire by Russian bombers in 1944) and you can surely see she had normal deadeyes with three holes, but the ropes were protected by wrapping a canvas around them. Also there seems to be an iron bar which keeps the upper deadeyes in line and the wrapping goes above this bar. To my eyes it looks like your photo shows the same arrangement, only in a tad bigger scale as Loreley was certainly bigger than Mircea! Hope this helps!

That's great. Thank you very much. A big relief for me. This ambiguous question was a bother for me.

I made the portholes of brass tubes which fits exactly to the tubes at the hull. I filled them with epoxy and glued with Revel Contacta Clear.

Very clean and crisp construction  👍🏻

 

And nice to see that someone else adopted also the method of building deckshouses and skylights around (solid) acrylic cores.

Beautiful cabinet work, Ilhan. it's a real pleasure to see it.
