Hello, and many, many thanks for your nice comments and likes

Because we had here the last week the finest summer weather, I was't very often at the ship yard. But today the weather shanged and I have worked a little at the yard. The preparations for the following work I made during the week. These bars where for fastening the shields or tent to the wall.

 

The battens are 0,6 X 1,2 mm. The drill bit has 1 mm Ø

And that is what I finished today. The worst part of this is, gluing them to the gun wale :wacko:

Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes

 

Today I build the rudder boss and I'm happy that I got it! :Whew: First I turned it with some surplus, and then fit it to the ship. That was the hardest part. The rod has 1mm Ø. I'm still looking for the drill bit I first used. There must be a black hole somewhere.

Then I glued it with ca to a piece of wood, to file it to the final shape.

That was then the easiest part, gluing it to the ship.
