Sorry these pics are somewhat random, are what I have already on the work computer, but will show some earlier progress photos, it is shown as completed presently with mizzen shrouds absent, and working now on the quarterdeck guns and furnishings.

Thank-you again Wilfried! I will get some more orderly posts, if some interest in the earlier stages of the build. I appreciate your support on this ship model!

First, formers only, no glue yet, then planking after using some wood filler. Painted, decks (recolored with photoshop), trim with some gold embossing powder and heat gun (rubber stamp type supplies)

Glen-san,
It's nice to be able to follow your thread again here so that I can memorize your tips and techniques by heart. One time isn't enough for me to lean...

Yu-sama, thank you but I am waiting to see how nice yours will be! I thought some members here may not have seen her and may have as much interest in sailing ships as I have, or more!
( if you have time to do a sailing ship, which would be great!) -
Hier sind einige weitere Fortschritte früheren Bilder. Ich malte die Hülle mit Latex-Farbe, an Lukensülls und Bollwerke, eventualy gebaut und die Ketten-und chainplates.

Here's a few more pictures to catch up to where she is presently

And here is where I am with her now

Update on Cleopatra, I know the language barrier is significant, I require the translator to read postings, but feel free to reply in German as it is easy to translate, although I think the posting is perhaps more understandable in my native tougue? Have proceeded to rig the main topmast standing rigging with the backstay and stay, and am continuing to attempt some measure of accuracy, although not perfect as those who know these details may see..
The top shown is the foretop, under progress, with maintopmast stay -
Here is the foretop image:

Rigging langsam voran, und nach oben. Ich werde glücklich sein, dass die stehendes Gut abgeschlossen!

Hallo Werften! Hier sind einige Fortschritte bei Cleo mit Baum und Gaffel Bau und einige Takelage der Gaffel.
Last picture includes by chance a table salt shaker for scale -
Hallo Werften! Aktualisieren Sie den Bericht auf dieser britischen Fregatte, haben footropes auf mehrere Rahen gestellt und haben die wichtigsten Fockmast Hof sich wie ein Versuch mit nur die Unterstützung der Blöcke und Aufzüge manipuliert. Auch einige Arbeit auf den Booten.
