Hi Alexander,
Thank you for that information. :) Up to now I had only found information stating that the coppering was done from the top down with 1.5 inch overlaps. I realize at our scales the coppering should be as thin as paper otherwise actually overlapping on the model is not a good idea as you mention. Can you please tell me the names of the books or sources you have for the schooners as I would very much like to read more about this. It is so good that there is always something new to learn so I very much appreciate your help to learn more about this.
Thank you very much.
Allan

Stern gallery. Instead of roller shutters from the kit (brass, they suggest painting), I made them from hornbeam. Rails 0.6 x 2 mm, a primitive template with a cutout of 1 mm. Each subsequent rail is superimposed on the previous one. It turns out as in the photo. After coating with oil, the wood will darken. And now it is some kind of turquoise. Well, and window frames. I tried it on the stern, how it will look
