Virginia by MRWESQ - Artesania Latina - (1819) First Build, 1:41

Its much easy to plank the deck without the hull in the way. Perhaps the best answer is to plank the hull below the deck; then plank the deck, and then lastly plank the hull above the deck. Nice model for your fitst one! -

I also decided not to blacken the brass. I think this will make a nice contrast against the wood. -

I think the hull has come out nicely. -

I decided to keep the hull natural wood and give it a poly ureathene simi-gloss finish. The model for the most part will be unpainted and will show of the wood aspects. -

I received this kit as a present from a work client for a job well done! So far so good.
