Here you can see the complete stern of the model, some gunports and other details on the hull were changed to be more accurate and corresponding to the position in the painting of the real ship.
And here I have started with lower deck and center part reinforcement. The hull -
although it is made of cardboard - is very solid and heavy - it weights more than 3 kg.
The deck in the central part of the ship is covered by tapes from plastic foils, that I use on all my card models to imitate wooden look..
The inner parts of the model are already covered with a second layer of carton and bases for the upper decks.
I have also a handsome helper who makes me a companion during model-builing.
