use the sandpaper to polish, to make the look you want.

Because the white colour will not be so good as it is supposed to,so you can paint the hull in whataver color you like.Same method also be applied to the sail.However it is only one method of the all,many players tried the traditional methods,like the oxidated chemicals painting or the colored point powder.

It will take many trials to find the way for better painting, as different person has different understanding. The key process is the following.
A lot of walnut panels, which will make the model look better before painting process, and provide the players with more choices on colors.then he used water-base sandpaper to polish them several times.

A bit Halloween-themed, but befitting the Black Pearl. Nice job!

To be contiue...

At the end you can use fine sandpaper to polish the bottom of the hull, making some scatch for a better look.
Done the masts on first layer

We can use Rope to connect the upper and lower deadeyes.
When you are making the rope ladder, please notice that not to make the horizontal rope so tight,
just keep the rope arched in certain extent, downward is prefered. However the vertical rope should be tight, and do not let it
bent.

There are too many hinges for the rudder on the back of the ship, however, deal with them if you like.

ZHLmodel · Nov 9, 2023

All the details are vivid on the ship model, and some of these items are not provided in thd kit package, like the hook and fix bar for the ear of the cannon etc.
