Next task was the forecastle. Again studying Pictures and my books i somewhat deviated from the instructions.
I made the forward bulwarks less high (6mm).Also they go further back to the front opening of the waist.There is next to no decline in height of the bulwark.Also what i could see from pics - the forecastle bulwarks were painted black - not yellow ochre:I used a 5x5mm strip as cattail:Finally i attached the cap strips at the waist:I spent quite some time thinking about those cap strips. In my opinion they don`t look right. 2mm strips would mean about 17cm on the real ship - i think that`s too thick. Also there was next to no overhang to the inside - so i think the 10mm strips are too wide.
Next thing is i want my cap strips to follow the curve at the bow (if possible) - in the instructions they just run straight to the forward bulwark - which doesn`t look right.
So i decided to use 1x8mm strips for the rest of the cap strips - which means i have to wait about a week for delivery of those strips.
I hope this will give the ship a more "slim" and elegant look.
What do you guys think about my thoughts? Your advice is always welcome!DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Thanks guys!
While waiting for the cap-strips to arrive i moved on with the channel moulding.
Unfortunately i realized htat i had previously glued one of the moulding stripes too high so that there was no room for the channel moulding at the stern gun ports.
So i had to strip down the lower stripe - which was painful! (but worked out better than i though!)DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Entry ports are done!
I must admit this is not my best work - but i somewhat lost the patience. The paintwork is not very satisfying.
Also it wasn`t until everything was attached and dry that i realised that one of the roofs is not completely horizontal.Thanks for looking in!DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Thanks guys!
I´m afraid all my embedded pictures are gone! As you can see photobucket - with which i worked for several years without any problems - suddenly wants me to upgrade my account - for a yearly fee of about 400 Dollars!!!
As i can`t afford that - it seems that my pics are gone for good!
I´m very upset!!Greetings,
Walter
