Masts, spirit mast on Mizzen, and Jib Boom are going in on the New York. On my last few ship models I have not been gluing the masts in. Instead I have been simply allowing the tension on the shrouds to hold the masts in place.

I was so busy making ship's boat making videos for my U tube channel I forgot about these.

The New York's barge/whale boat is pretty much done.. Needs some final touches to clean up fuzz and paint job. I was busy the past week making an in depth video series on making a ship's boat. It is in 9 parts! About half are 10 minutes or so long, but several run 15 to 25 minutes. I have them on U tube. My channel is @gregbaumgartner8257 I have not tried or looked into posting video here. Is it allowed and if so how do you select videos to up load?

Hooray! Done with the coppering on the New York!

I have just finished putting copper "plates" on one side of the hull on my latest ship model, the New York. 60 hours over 14 days to do this about 1500 individual pieces. Now, on to the other side! Groan!

New York's spar deck is planked and weathered.
-
Both lower gun decks are in as are their gun carriages. Bow sprit base is made as is the bowsprit itself. Main gun deck is planked only where it might be seen through the main hatch and ladder openings in the spar deck. The procedure for weathering the planks is shown. After the and gray are well dried sand lightly with 220 grit and 400 grit varying the pressure to bring out the tan.
