I hope your health issues are being resolved.

Hello,
thank all of you for accepting my efforts (and keep an eye on your health these days).

Very slowly but finally I was able to complete the hull construction phase. A few details (e.g. cleats) are missing, but the hull can already be shown.
The handrails took the most time, because it is difficult to cut dozens of equal posts. That is why I glued the handrails first and then adjusted the posts under them. I know, I know - not everything came out evenly, a few posts "tip over", not always perfectly vertical. I admit to these mistakes and let it stay that way :-))) (The color is definitely redder than the pinkish ones you see in the pictures.)




I added modest ornaments in the form of carved stripes, which at the same time cover the edges of the decks. On the stern, I placed a larger ornament with the coat of arms of Gdańsk. The whole thing is ineptly painted "by hand", but the inaccuracies can only be seen in the photos and with the help of a magnifying glass. So overall I'm happy so far.




Currently, I am looking for a way to make covers on the sides (I do not know the English term for heavy canvases hanging on the edges of the sides on additional frames to protect the marines from musket fire), because so far all attempts with different materials look bad.


Greetings
Tomek

You don't need to apologize Tomek.
To us . . . it looks perfect.
Beautiful painting on the stern also.
Mike

I would call those those "skirts" or more likely "aprons" since that's what they were-protective aprons. I thought those were made from sew together layers of old sails. They were still in use in ww2 Far East theatre in Chinese wooden ships and in Philippine/ Indonesia region. They were meant to reduce wood splinter injuries.

Marvelous model. I'll save some pictures for reference
