Thanks, everyone, for having a look at my build diary! Next on my list was adding the shrouds  and deadeyes ...  and binding some 120 deadeyes to the ends of the shrouds, this being the first one:  At the same time, to have some job variation, I started with the hammock nets

Following the suggestions of others, I left a "pin" at the bottom of the hammock cranes  and drilled holes to help with the correct placement of the hammock cranes  I made a little tool to make sure that the hammock cranes can be placed easily and superglued in exactly vertical position. The next pictures show how I used that tool:     A really tiny amount of superglue is sufficient to fix the hammock cranes.

With the hammock nets I tried the following. I took the precise measures and cut slightly larger holes into a piece of cardboard on which I glued the net  A little bit inside the border I glued a 0,15mm black thread with thinned PVA glue  When everything is dry, one can cut the nets from the frame and obtain a net with a clean border.  Admittedly, this is a fairly complicated treatment, but It is now much easier to sew these nets to the frames. These hands belong to my beloved wife who showed me how to do this:       Thats all for today, kind regards Bernd

Hi there! Here is the bow grating:  Before inserting the bowsprit I added a thin wooden strip to its base to have it sit a little steeper in its socket, leaving enough space for the crown of the figurehead.   When binding the gammons of the bowsprit I followed this illustration, which I found in an old book  It is very difficult to see this in a photo, as it is quite dark there  Then I decided to attach the figurehead right away, although this step comes much later in the magazine. Painting the figurehead was welcome distraction from the boring work of binding the deadeyes to the shrouds.     I found it rather difficult to attach the figurehead, I had to reshape the strips on the sides of the stern post for a better fit. Nevertheless, the figurehead is a little too large for the scale of the model (which does not really bother me). As a consequence, the base looks a little bit misplaced, but otherwise it would have covered one of the holes in the stern post. Probably, I'll fill in some wood between the "legs" of the figurehead base later.  Greetings from Austria, Bernd

Here are some impressions of the ratlines. I followed the method proposed in the magazine and official build diary   For me, it was impossible to add ratlines where the shrouds were soaked with superglue (better to use PVA glue to secure the deadeyes). I just omitted these ratlines and hope that nobody will notice     Best regards, Bernd
