Thanks for the comments everyone I have now finished putting the new lights back in . The Orlop deck was easy to do but the one in the hold was a git to do  . I couldn't run the wires in the grove I cut for them as the deck was on top but as this kit is going to be seen from the front I ran them behind the centre beam . Next up putting in the grating and ladder and then rigging the guns. I made some eye bolts and glued them to the deck. The guns where painted and rigged . The blocks are cut down from ones my spares box as they were a bit to big , these were rigged to the eye bolts . I wanted tables in between the guns so out with some scrap wood and made some up , once dry I made some plates a bottle of veno and mugs . A few more bits to go on the other table and rigg the guns on the other side Cheers for looking Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

This is looking really special, love the detail you are adding the nail heads on the grating and the mess table really nice work  Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Cheers for the feedback guys Making the bottle and mugs where fun jase not to sure about the trenchers as these were used by the Royal Navy but perhaps the Spanish Navy used them as well as they are easy to pack away  Thanks again for looking Martyn Building ?

Beautiful work going on here Martyn, lovely to watch it come along! They probably did use Trenchers although knowing the 'Hidalgos' of Spain, they probably made them eat off the deck!  A great job!

Hi all as promised a update on the ST Started closing the outer hull to hide the wireing for the LEDs. I'm not very good at soldiering so used plastic screw connector then checked to make sure the lights worked and whoopee they all work All the missing hull planks where glued in place and sanded Next job finishing the upper gun deck . The deck was planked and the guns rigged. Once the mast is finished there will be a lot more clutter on the deck The lower mast was the next job on the list. This was made up per instructions and glued in to place. The shrouds where slipped over the mast and served to produce a loop then led down to the dead eyes to get the right length . The dead eyes were glued served and rigged Next job is the upper mast and coopering the hull Thanks for following Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Thanks for the comments Andy and Tom I had to move the ladders as they got in the way of the run in guns so turned them round 90deg I'm really relieved that the lights work after the mishap with the first ones, all I need now is a battery box  Thanks for looking Martyn Building ?
