Thanks guys!
I tried to build the canvas (don`t know the exact purpose of this) hanging from the roof off the poop deck (oh god my english!).
I used some kitchen towel soaked in diluted wood glue and some fine thread.
This was then mounted to the front strip of the poop deck and all glued in place. There will be a bigger update in the next few days - as i`m busy with the bulwarks of the poop - which again i will not exactly build as recommended! :) DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Thanks guys!
So next step were the bulwarks of the poop deck. Looking into McKay`s book i realized, that the real bulwarks look quite differently than the way the instructions tell us to build them.As you can see the bulwarks run in a slight curve and meet the level of the poop-deck aproximately at the front end of the light-house. There is a much smaller curve down to the bulwarks of the main deck which reach much further back - right to the back-end of the third gun-port.
Of course i couldn`t help but try to achieve this as closely as possible.
I built up the additional planks (just the outer ones!) and marked where to cut. As you can see i wouldn`t have needed the second plank.Then i slowly and carefully carved my way to the right shape.I glued some 3x3mm pieces to the inside of the outer bulwark
Then i built up the inner bulwark.DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,
