Pilot cutter Jolie Brise in a bottle - Scale 1/240

Hello to all!
Two weeks ago I started another small project in a bottle. This time it is a model of the pilot cutter Jolie Brise. This boat I like for a long time and now, finally, I "matured" for its construction. More or less suitable drawings of this boat, I never found. Found only the theoretical drawing of the hull and the general scheme of the sails. Also I found in the network a number of photos.
Well, and a suitable bottle was found.

A little of the history about Jolie Brise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolie_Brise

Now it was possible to proceed to the sheathing of the boardes and the stern of the hull. I started with the stern, in which there are holes, apparently playing the role of scuppers. Because I was not sure that I would be able to cut through these "windows" in the hornbeam planking qualitatively, then I decided to make a compositing design.

Next, I glued the posts to the inside surface of the bulwarks. Because The bulwarks themselves gradually reduce their thickness in the process of sanding them from the outside, then their additional strengthening will be very useful. In addition, they will be very useful and to increase the area of gluing when installing gunwales.
