Thank you Grant.Good morning Daniel. Stunning. Awesome railings. Clean neat and symmetrical (my new favourite word ) and your extensions are hardly noticeable- I had to search for them and zoom in. I like the colour and paint configuration you have gone with for your BN. The "midnight" blue, white and beautiful pear wood make for a very effective model. Cheers Grant
Thank you Johan.The all-white railings and waterways are something else. A beautiful personal touch.
Thank you Peter.I must say I love the colorscheme too. beautiful work Daniel!
Thank you, Jan!Wow, neat and precise paint work. Nicely done.

Thanks Johan.Adding those "little" details really do make a difference. Very nice!
Thanks Jan, I'm glad you are enjoying this.Excellent, excellent and then some. Following your BN build is a pleasure.

Don't build a German WW1 airplane with the lozenge design on the wings, it has thin blue stripes where the canvas is joined, which is simulated with individual decals! A lot of thin strips that have to be carefully placed one at a time and wrapped around the wing from top to bottom, without wrinkling, folding or tearing them. Truly an exercise in madness!Thanks Dean, the pinstripe was heavy on my mind for a while as in wondering if I had the ability to place it halfway decent. You should see how well saran wrap and I get along. I can make that stuff stick to anything (mostly itself) but what I'm trying to put it on.

A beautiful appearance, Daniel, with the white accents.Good afternoon everyone.
Moving along with some decent progress I attached the rudder hinges and rudder to the stern post then painted for effect.

Next up I applied nosing decoration which is a photo etched brass piece along with the nameplate.

And finally, the pinstriping which was much easier to apply than I had imagined in my mind. I hand painted the brass hawse hole decoration then seal coated everything with clear matte poly. The bow sprit is just dry fitted for now.

For now, I'm going to forgo placing a waterline on the port side, I don't want to interrupt the smooth beautiful pearwood hull in this paint scheme.
Now I can concentrate on everything from the deck up.
Thanks for looking in.
