Great details and workmanship on the gun ports and overall. I was impressed by the details of your deck. May I ask which type of wood you used for the planking of the deck?

Thank you!

I used the materials supplied in the kit. They are listed as lime tree, so I guess that it’s limewood!

I used a product called finishing oil from the manufacturer Liberon, and this brought out a nice level of detail and glow in the wood.

This really is coming along well. Let's hope we see another update soon. Because I have recently acquired this same kit, I will hop on board and follow along. One thing that does concern me is the holes for your masts, Gaffrig. As far as I know, they have a 15 degree lean stern wards. It will be interesting to see how you get that lean now that the decks are complete sir.

Hello!

 

After life has gotten in the way for too long, I have finally been able to find some time to blow the dust of my model and make a little headway..

Spent quite some time to get my bearings and figure out where I left off and what to do next..

 

I decided on cutting holes and fixing the catheads inplace. The kit part is a oversized plywood piece that leaves a lot to be desired...

So I figured I'll scratchbuild theese.

 

I had some 4x4 mm that I used and drilled/milled some holes/grooves to fake some sheaves..

 

 

 

I added some styrene strip to imitate iron bands, and brass nails for the sheaves. Also added a eyebolt for the end of the hoist tackle. I removed this again because I think it is easier to "splice" the rope in a loose eyebolt rather than one fixed to the model.

 

 

 

Then added some paint..

 

 

Made the innfill pieces, glued it all inplace and painted and voila! my interpretation of Lynx's catheads are done!

 

 

 

 

Next I think will be the rudder. Another plywood piece that I might end up scratch building.

I am with you all the way on that point. I like the bands you put around those catheads, a nice touch. I am going to enjoy watching this come together. I still have my rudder to mount too. I scratch built that too but am not quite happy with the tiller I made.
