Great to see you making progress again, very nice rigging and attention to detail.  Love the anchor buoy, you really captured the feel of the real thing.

Cheers,
 
Jason

Work on stunsail boom irons...

A copper strip is used. Rounded and glued... The small gap between edges is filled with CA and sanded. Will be painted matte black... Yard irons and stunsail irons will be glued to each other with a brass stick also painted matte black...

Thank you for your comments and "likes"...

 

Finally, the process of fixing the blocks to the yards is over.  It's now on the queue sewing sails... No stage is easy...

Handrails were finished.

I don't like the windows from the kit and made them from plastic of my credit cards. The glass made from the back (bright black) of CD cover, then painted with gold metalic spray, became old with diluted black paint and clear varnished...

Your windows are amazing. Why materials did you use.

Im about to start building this model.

Hi,

Thank you for the nice comment.

 

For the frame, I used the strips that I cut from a credit or similar card. I don't know from which material the credit card is made, I just used it because it was easily accessible. The thickness is ideal and uniform. It takes shape very easily in hot air with hair dryer and keeps its shape when cooled. I provided the semicircular form by wrapping it around a pencil and giving it hot air then waiting for it to cool. I made decorations by glued some small pieces. Very strong when glued with CA...

Then I painted the whole frame in gold with spray and aged it with some touches with black watercolor paint. I finished with glossy polish...

 

For the windows glass, the glossy black thin plastic material inside a CD case was used. It was as if it was dark inside and it wasn't visible from the outside, I just wanted the effect that there was a glare in the glass.

 

Then I glued the CD case plastic to the frame and sanded the outer parts... And some touches with gold to the sides because of the plastic was visible in black...

 

I used those materials because I had not any idea how to find the appropriate material, they were under my hand...

 

The inside part of the CD case is mat at the attached photo, I had used the glossy one :)
