Continuing with the lanthorns the three of them have scrolls each side of the connecting rod, I have not seen these on other Period ships, the only thing I can think is that they are a platform for the sailors to stand on when lighting or maintaining the lanthorns.


First attempts,



I should have soldered these on before attaching the actual lanthorns themselves, but now I jusst CA glued them in place and bound them with some very fine copper wire,



close up view, still have to tidy up the binding copper wire,


My supply of copper wire,



view from above,



and from under,



and on the Period model,


best regards John.
