Thanx for the compliment Grant, and who knows, in a next build you can always try it, i have to say, it is a lot of work, but the looks is fantastic

it has been almost 3 weeks since the last update, so it is about time to show something.
I stained the crossection first, and this was the result
I think that the sight of the treenails is quite good, and i like it.
After this, it was time to place the Maststep, the Beams and the Knees, i also placed the Carlings.
Except for the knees and the Maststep, everything is dry-fit, because i also want to place some iron bolts in the knees, the maststep, and the Keelson.
I don't know how i will do this, but i'll try something out on some spare wood, in the next updat i hope to show you some of it.
And last, an overvieuw of the Deckbeams and the Carlings
I'll see you all next time.

The staining and the outcome of the treenailing looks very nice, Peter.
The deck breams gives her body.

Yes, all of a sudden, you can see that the crossection is not an empty hull
Good afternoon Peter. Looking good!!! I also like the way your treenails have come out with the stain. The beams etc all fit really and ready to go. Cheers Grant
You completely nailed it Grant, i love the outcome of the treenails as well, and the fitting of the deckbeams and the knees etc, is spoton, just a bit of filddling with some sandpaper, and it is looking good.
It is time for an update of the crossection of the Pinas, I first put some bolts in the heavyer parts of the construction, such as the Keelson, Deckbeamshelfs, the Knees, and the Maststep.
At first i have been trying to copy the handforged bolts with the square head, but i could not get them right, there was to much difference in the size of the boltheads. It now looks like this.
Then i went on to the deck, the Nibbingstrakes where placed and after that the spirkettings ( one of the Spirkettings was taken away again, because it was not placed correctly ), the Binding Strakes came also in place
The Ledges have been made,
and after the placement of the Ledges, the crossection looked like this.
I am quite satisfied in the way it is looking
Now was the time to place the first Deck Shelves, and i am sorry to say, i was a bit to fast with the stain, because the treenailing has to be done as well, of course. But there is a solution for everything, so that wil be done a bit later as planned.
And then the time came for the Top Timbers, first i did the Top Timbers at the front of the model, and when the glue had dried the Timbers of the rearend where placed
After this was done, it was time to check if everything could pass the quality control, and unfortunatly this was not the case.
The Top Timbers at the rear stood perfectly upright, but the Timbers at the front stood lousy, the model became to wide for the Deck Beam Shelves of the main deck, so they where removed, for a re-do,
After this correction the model looked like this:
As you can see, i could not resist the temporarely placement of the Trusses, and the Deck Beam Shelves of the maindeck, together with a couple of deckbeams, so i could see if i am still on the right track, and it looks like i am.
I am very happy with it. I think it is looking great like this.
A few more pictures of how it is looking at this moment.
That is all for now, see you next time.

….that you certainly may Peter. “Satisfied” is an understatement . Cheers Grant
Brilliant modeling! There is a nice 'old world' feel to this model.
Yes Grant, but when i wonder around on SOS, i feel very humble , and sometimes even a child plaing with some wood, so a little modesty suits me best
I think that you naild it exactly Paul, i believe that is the work of the colour variations.
Altough it is all the same wood, and only two tones of oak stain
