Step R is complete. I actually finished this step a few days ago and am just getting around to writing about it now. This was a step of building out lots of little things that will go on the ship as decorations. 
Not a very good picture really, but good enough I suppose. Most of these are cast metal parts I cleaned up and then painted. You can see a couple of lantern frames that will go on the stern. The figurehead of a sailor/skeleton with chains around his wrists, the anchors made from pelvis and spinal bones and a rudder. All these pieces will eventually be mounted on the ship in the upcoming steps.
That’s really it for now. These next few steps pretty much focus on adding lots of these details to the decks. It’s really coming along.
Talk to you all soon.
