A little more work done on the lady. Deck beams for the next deck completed and in place. I decided to support this deck as well and have placed 6mm dowels under the beams. It was a wise choice as it assisted in levelling the individual planked deck. [  ] [  ] [  ] And now you are all invited to the captains table. [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] a little work needs to be done to finalise the table and chairs but I think the idea is ther Happy building all. Have a super dooper building weekend. Rgds, Hans

Hello one and all!! I haven't posted in while and thought I needed to wake up a little. The hull finally completed. Might just need a touch up alittle later. [  ] [  ] [  ] The grating built in with the narrower SOB version. [  ] [  ] The rudder attached , picture not so good will have to brush up a little. [  ] The first row of guns fitted [  ] [  ] [  ] Both rows of guns complete. [  ] [  ] Side view of fitted guns [  ] The back of the gallery has since been removed for refitment. I felt that inside lights will work so will be introduced so a little detail per deck would be appropriate. Thanks for looking. Rgds, Hans

Looking Good!
I like the pipe insulation as protection for the build whilst it is upside down and full marks for the canon rigging. I look forward to the next update.
Good luck Steve..

Thanks for the encouragement fellow builders. I am working on trying to get the photography better. Have the camera, just need the lens, so hopefully the the near future will have better pics. Working on the upper deck at the moment, then the next phase will be the wardroom, captains day cabin etc before I complete the qauter deck. The gallery will also be enhanced. Happy building Rgds, Hans

Hi all. I have not posted in a while as I was busy with the setting up of the wardroom, admirals cabin and the captains cabin. I have also inserted some lighting. There is still plenty of cleaning up to do, the upper hull, gallery etc. The wardroom also still needs completing. The first pic is of the completed upper deck. [  ] The next few pics is of the wardroom, admirals cabin and of the captains cabin. On the captains cabin you will notice the strips of LED lights I am using. [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] The following few pics show the effect of the lighting. [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] [  ] One of the final pics for this session is the admirals companion way. I decided to go with a see through cover instead of the solid as some other shipmates have done. This also helps with the lighting. [  Thanks for looking and comments and suggestions are most welcome Happy building Rgds, Hans
