I completed inner planking of the bulwarks and painted them. I wasn't happy with the look of main deck walnut planking so i decided to make second layer with 1x5 mm basswood strips.

[mtbediz]

Dry fit with the rudder and the stern post.

Mustafa,

It is a completely different view with the transom. Your model is on it's way to be a very bice piece of work. It was a brave decision to redo the deck.

[Edwardkenway]

Got to say brave decision to re-plank the deck, but the pale wood looks good👍😀

[mtbediz]

Thank you my friends 

[mtbediz]

I completed the main deck planking and the poop deck planking continues

[mtbediz]

The poop deck is complete

[mtbediz]

I cut the gun ports and painted them

[Old Collingwood]

The capping rails at the bulwarks have been completed.

[mtbediz]

I started treenailing. (I am not sure if the toothpicks are in scale). By the way i painted a yellow band in the upper hull.

[mtbediz]

The tiller is ready, by the way the latest view of the model.

Thank you OC. Thanks for the link. I will check it out. l didn't know anything about Battle of Trafalgar until I decided to build the model of HMS Pickle. While I was building the model according to an unsufficient plan that I found on the internet I felt the need to do research about this ship and learnt her interesting role in the battle and after battle.

Very fine work you are doing on this Very important  little vessel.

The rudder is in place. The combined companion+skylight is ready but not glued in place on the deck because i have to complete treenailing first.
