I don't know about using raw paint. There are lots of metal blackeners on the market, have you considered those? P.S.- Even if you don't blacken them, the current solution has actually given them a nice "weathered" look .

No trouble with painting, I see! Well done, it came out great. Will you leave the hull white, or try something else? Perhaps you'd want to experiment with something like copper sheathing?

Hi, looks like I'm late to the party. The copper is excellent!!! Did you use copper tape, or sheets, or some supplied material?

You're always welcome to whatever help I can give schnu . On the subject of rigging instructions, I'd call them "alright". For my Corsair, I'd say it doesn't give apt descriptions of the more finicky aspects of the rigging(such as how to rig the deadeyes, shrouds and ratlines for example). The instructions aren't bad when it comes to other details, and really besides the finicky bits they're not bad at all. Minus the parts I already mentioned, the instructions are adequate at giving one a good impression of how each line runs around the ship.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
