Thanks again for the encouraging comments, guys!

I added the pin rails at the foremast - the problem was that with building the gratings more narrow than in the instructions - the pinrails were shorter and so i had not very much space for the Pins.

I hope this won`t haunt me once the rigging comes up.

Also i attached the two cannons to the deck - didn`t want them just standing there - so i added some securing ropes - don`t know if that`s correct - but it would make sense.

It occurred to me that sometimes some of the pics are shown in a different orientation, also sometimes i have to reload pages several times to be able to see all pics.

Do you have these problems as well?

Hi Walter, having to refresh the page to view images is a known problem and is with the IT team. The pics showing in a different orientation is not something I have experienced or seen before nor has this been previously reported. Will take a look and see what I can find..... Cool

Regards

Alan

Maybe the wrong orientation was my fault.
But thanks Alan!

As always - thanks for your nice comments!

I invested much thought in how to make the binnacle.
I used Mike`s enhancement parts - but wanted to enhance them further.

As you can see i first cut out the middle part so that only the frame remained.

Then i produced the two compasses out of 3x3mm wood. I decreased the picture of a compass-rose in size, printed it and glued in on top.

The lantern i made out of a toothpick.

The three part were glued on a piece of wood and inserted into the frame.
