I don’t have a very steady hand so I’d like to know how y’all put the ships name on the bow and a rounded stern

Hi Tony,
What nation and year is your model? For English Navy ships, names were not permitted on ships by order of the Admiralty except for one ten year period in the age of sail so if your project is an English ship, you may have no need.:)

The model is the fishing schooner Benjamin Latham. Hull is black and name goes on both port and starboard bow. Also on the rounded stern.
