Next up was the poop-deck rail.

The first pic is just a warning. For once i didn`t look into my books and built the rail as in the instructions with 9 pillars.

But actually there were only eight of them - so i had to redo.

I formed the little hooks for the fire buckets out of small diameter brass wire.

On the real ship there were 21 buckets - but i had to adjust because of too little space. I had to settle for 16 buckets.

The hooks were mounted on the rail along with the hammock-net cradles (?).

Next step was to build those buckets.

Again I formed the bucket handles out of brass wire and glued them onto the buckets. If i remember right those buckets also were an enhancement of Mike`s.

I then painted the buckets black and then tired to paint those yellow crowns and letters.

I know - it is not a great paintjob - but it was the best i could achieve.

For the hammock nets i tried something different this time.

Instead of the brass wire i used 0,75 thread - which Looks more like the real thing in my opinion.

Also i didn`t like the black netting so i purchased some cream coloured one.

How do you like the look? Or is the black one better?

I have to ask again - can anyone see my pics?

If i look at my own diary - i can only see a tenth of the pics i posted.
I tried to reload the page - but even after 40 times not all the pics are showing.

I know that it`s a common problem - but what good is it for to post my progress, if noone can see the pics or has to reload hundreds of times - which noone will do?

Shouldn`t there have been a forum update a long time ago?

Hi Paul,

those brass buckets were one of Mike`s enhancements i believe (along with the Gallery, the ship`s wheel and some other minor enhancements) which could be purchased quite a long time ago.

OK thanks guys - so maybe it`s just my browser!

So i made the skylights and the mizzen pinrail yesterday.

To simulate the Windows i used Humbrol`s Clear Fix.
