I replanked inner bulwarks because they looked so bad.

I had to change the shape of grate at the stem because i couldn't make the original shape given in the kit plan. I continued to make detail parts.

assembly. The metal cast part does not look fine, i made it from wood. And some paintings done.

​

 

[Dicas]

In my kit they are made of wood (ply), but I think I'll make them in proper wood, maybe pear. I don't like the look of ply.

Good work, is looking very nice indeed.

Hello Mustafa,
You have been doing an excellent job so far and I love the fact that you are using your artistic abilities to improve and remake certain elements of your build. It is the true craftsman who will go the extra distance to ensure that they give every detail of their ship the attention it deserves.

I applied mat varnish to the ship and started putting the cannons.

[Dicas]

What brand of varnish did you use? I am always afraid of putting anything to the wood, I had a not-so-good experience with my first buid.

I am experimenting with acrylic washes, so far with good results.

By the way, nice job.

JL, I am not very happy with the varnish. I advice you to use tung oil which i used on my previous Santa Maria if your build is without painting. Tung oil is realy very good for wood protection and for its look.
