Thank you very much Paul Glad you like my work.

Working on more details (to avoid doing the cap rail ... haha) ...

anchors, boat, steering wheel and pumps are 3D printed parts in different quality. anchors are nice, boat is ok (not finished yet), steering wheel .. mm I don't know (still needs some fixes), the pumps are square completely wrong crap (pumps not shown), I will need to scratch them. PE Parts of the kit are good, just to mention it.

Overall look at the moment. Channels are done.

The anchors, sprayed black and the using pencil dust (no idea how to call it) to get a metal finish.

Some more details aft, washer for the rope passage. I usually have lots of micro parts like washers, rivets, nuts and else in my stash to "pimp" details.

The boat, not sure about coloring yet.

The steering wheel.

The aft area.

cheers

pencil dust = graphite powder

Nice metalworks detailing! Not a huge fan of the wheel - looks chubby ...

Not a big fan either ....

Pencil “lead” isn’t actually lead at all. The core is usually made from graphite, mixed with clay (and sometimes a bit of wax). The balance between graphite and clay is what determines how hard or soft the pencil is, and how light or dark it marks. You can buy the graphite powder in Art stores similar to this:


That amount of powder will last you for a couple of modeling lifetimes.

Perhaps thinning the wheel slightly on both sides would help? Otherwise, the overall size appears to be right on scale.

Your metal work looks great, Dirk. But also the ochre yellow paintwork.

Pimped the wheel, found some Dry Dock brass Belaying Pins which fit perfectly.
