The pictures with camera accentuated some reflection effects caused by varnish and glue. I do not see that like that in real.
Hallo @Fish&Chip ,Hi,
This is a port over from another Forum where I post my log.
This is my first build that I want to humbly present to you. My English is not so good, but I am able to understand all your comments. I will post a series of pictures of my work in progress. The ship has been tint with Saman waterbased tint and watersoluble varnish (Saman too) was used for protection and for clear coat. I tinted over varnish in multiple layers given more depth and opaque tints. I used CA glue (Bob Smith) and yellow wood glue (Lepage).
I Badly had the idea to begin my project before read enough ! So, I had to corrected some mistakes from the beginning. So let me begin my my small workplace in my basement house.

Dremel (micro and 3000 version)
Proxxon scroll saw
Proxxon micro coupound table
