Steam pinnace Janet

Hello All
I had a very demanding work period so I had to let janet on hold a bit
I did little things , , begined the capstan , and sanded the top of the chimney
After will have to do a little putty and fine sanding and after paint.
Still no high temperatures in my part of the world to do the z-poxy coat ( i have to do that in the apartament flat stairs where can smell a bit before to get in the house .
Glad , my neighbors are not very affected to my hobby and I have their understanding.Help a bit to clean after hobby sanding session!

Hello All
Took a long time to post ,work getting the most of my day ,and I have to confess I am not very pleased with my idea to put resin on the superstructure.
The end result is a a so and so model , will be good for going to the pond and water resistant but just that
I tinkered with the some bling to add to the ship and made a ship wistle but it will be another version soon.
This is how my model look

Great looking model. Will be nice to see photos of her cruising on a pond. I have always found that the best treatment for finishing mahogany on this type of vessel is several coats of good quality marine varnish with light sanding between each coat. Just like on the prototype boats, you can't get a better high gloss weather resistant finish.

Dear forum colleagues, seeing your work and the excellent images of some models crafted to perfection, I realize that the lack of experience and especially the lack of a workshop will produce mediocre results in comparison.
Since I work in the living room, everything that involves painting the model with multiple layers, not having dust in the air, and being able to leave the model along with the tools in the same place for a longer period of time are dreams for me.
Kind regards , Daniel
