Ian B got a reaction from Canute in Yellow Ochre versus Gold Paint for ship's carvings.
Just been doing a little research,most leaf is bright 24k.but the 18k less common but darker and is prone to tarnish..very un gold like but might be worth a look...let it darken till your happy then lacquer it??? Just guessing

Been following this thread with interest, my next build will be Sovereign of the Sea-- lots of gold which I assume was gilt? I was thinking of using actual gold leaf--
Sorry to jump in..

Thanks all for the comments and likes.
I did not make a lot of progress this week, though I did work on painting the various metal cowling bits. I toned down the wood look a bit for these. For the metal parts, I first primed with grey primer, then used the normal Tamiya X-7 red, followed by a light coat of a mix (about 70/30) of X-7 Red and XF-9 which is a dark reddish brown color, using the air brush. I've not coated the parts yet, thinking I may add a coat of semi gloss clear of some sort. Also the "wood" pieces have a raised edge that you can see in the pictures. The pictures in the instructions just show those as brown/wood but thinking about maybe doing something else with the edges....red, silver, black, I don't know. Anyway, here are the pictures. Oops, I see now I should have been more careful and consistent with the white balance adjustment.
