good evening dear friends
Today I spent my Saturday afternoon continuing to create the gun powder room.
This time I created the tin plating of the floor of the room as well as the copper plating of the inner wall of the ship which serves as the "wall" of the room.
As I wrote before, our friend Maarten's build diary serves as a valuable guide.
I used silver foil to simulate the tin by placing the side in a matte shade towards the top, the foil was glued with the usual glue. The shape of the foil is wavy so that we can see a little of the floor.


Later I approached to create the wall that comes down from the beam connected above the pump house. I spent over an hour making sure that the wall matched the interior contours of the ship. After achieving the required fit I permanently but sufficiently temporarily glued the beam to the wall and the cabinet to the hull.






After the silver foil paste dried I glued copper foil to the side of the ship. I still need to make the texture of nails on top of the two foils.



I am attaching photos from the process and I wish all of us a pleasant and enjoyable weekend
