Just a few little bits this week, trying to get the "attention to detail" bit right! Added a little extra height to the gunwale bulkheads.  Also started to made a Compass Binnacle cabinet....  ....and a little extra that I got for the end of the Anchor davits.  ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Got a few extra things for Christmas, A Lime Kiln Dried Carving Blanks, for making another figurehead, some extra small bits, and one Carronade (making sure it looks okay, before I buy more for the upperdeck).   I have blackened the rest of the brass parts.  It is slowly coming on, I have used photos of "HMS Ariadine's Figurehead, and also of a bust of "Amphitrite" Neptunes wife, and the sister ship of HMS Trincomalee, which I has based a lot of my work on.  ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Well it has taken 2 weeks to carve the new figurehead, but it is getting there, and I think that it's a big improvement on the supplied figurehead! Just a little more sanding and a paint job to go.  ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Just some small but time consuming jobs done this week!! The figurehead now has some paint, and so does the compass binnacle, complete with it's chimney.    ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Just finished the aft rails, and also putting in some "anchor rope bollard". Not sure what they are actually called, might be a fairlead?    ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow
