It is alway a pleasure to see you updates, marsalv! Stunning work on blocks!

[marsalv]

Completing the blocks, "special" blocks will be made later.

[Jorge Diaz O]

Tung oil,master?

[allanyed]

The build is magnificent overall, but I especially like your blocks.  Amazing what can be done with modern tools compared to the old days.  The problem is that every time I see what can be done by folks like you, it makes me want to spend money on the latest technology. Thankfully my accountant/admiral/wife asks me to wait and see if I really need it.  Saved us LOTS of money over the years.

To Jorge Diaz O - I used the colored linseed oil with wax.

To allanyed - For me, saving time won over saving money .

Galley.

Galera.

 

Wonderful work, neat and very realistic, I love it.

[marsalv]

Thank you guys for all nice comments and likes.

A few details added to the galley.

[druxey]

Now you are just having fun! Very nicely realised details.

[marsalv]

Druxey, you're right. But no one would say how much time these details will take.

I continue with the roof of the galley. Due to the small space, I simplified the attachment of the roof a bit (this detail will not be very visible in the final).

What's cooking in the pot? 😀

[druxey]

That galley roof is beautiful. I'm sorry that it will hardly be seen.

[marsalv]

Baker´s oven.

Two more charcoal stoves remains to be made. It will be quite a challenge at this scale.

[glbarlow]

I could buy every tool you own and come no where close to the caliber of work you do.  The latest example being your blocks, they are amazing.  The stove is incredible, as are details like the charcoal stove.
 

I hope this model ultimately will reside in a museum, a place that it can receive the admiration it deserves and viewed in person by many.

 

Well done. 

[marsalv]

Glenn, thanks for your warm comment.

The charcoal stoves are done.They are made of etched parts, so their assembly was not so difficult. Making tripods was much more complicated and demanding. But I am satisfied with the result.

 

 

[marsalv]

I installed the anchor ropes before the front of the deck will be covered.

[Jorge Diaz O]

Beautiful work, the French construction is very different from the English. I admire the details of your work sir.

[marsalv]

Installation of the forecastle deck beams.

[druxey]

Lovely work as usual. The last photo showing the flare of the bulwarks above the forecastle beams is particularly pleasing.

[marsalv]

Gangways - temporary attachment.

Thank you Albert😉.

I continue with making of stern parts - filling transoms, wing transom, fashion pieces.

Re. "tipping device"  to angle ( ?Proxxon ) vice.

Did you make or purchase it? (If so, where.)

Your work is stupendous

[marsalv]

To stuglo:  I got this device from a friend, but the equipment was made to order by another company. So I have no way of getting another one. I´m sorry.

Installation of guns. It remains to complete the side nd train tackles.

[marsalv]

Preperation of train and side tackles.

[druxey]

Beautiful splices!

[glbarlow]

Fascinating series of photos on rigging the tackle, thank you for providing this step by step. 

[marsalv]

Thanks.

All tackles are installed.

[marsalv]

Completion of gangways.

[Jorge Diaz O]

Wonderful, totally inspiring.
