Artesania Latina Anatomy of Lord Nelson’s HMS Victory Trafalgar 1805

Video 7 - (Part 1)
It's about 10 months since I worked on the Victory (for many reasons) but I thought it was time to resume work on her.
Just a small update on what I did today. I know it's not much but it did take more time than I thought. I was tossing around the idea of not painting the lamps at all but decided to make the effort.
I approached the task a little differently than the video and use Sharpie Pens rather than paint and simplified the process somewhat by not making them as detailed as the video. I think they will be OK.




Regards
Tony

Hi Tony
Nice to see you back on the case
Can I urge you to go the extra mile with the lanterns, I too use sharpie markers and with the ultra fine tip ones it’s not that difficult to follow the raised detail on the lantern covers
If you look at Vicory’s lanterns they do have the 3 horizontal bands on the cages
Mine don’t all come out perfectly but the desired effect is good overall and you will be rewarded for your efforts
Another thing to consider if you don’t do it already, I test every led before and after glueing them into the lantern cases, these things are mass produced and although I haven’t found one yet it is possible to get a duff one, and you don’t want to discover that after it’s been installed in the ship
Good luck with the soldering
