This model is a really fun build and when completed it makes a great show piece. There are quite a few build logs of this model and most took the "natural wood" route. One modeler even went so far as to install interior lights to give it a real special effect.
Enjoy the build.

After getting it to its final shape and fully sanded I would apply a coat of resin. I would use the same type of resin used for glassing. You can get in most local hobby shops.

Great topic. As I visit the many websites of kit manufacturers and distributors I see an abundance of model of ships with sails. I would like to see more kits of ships built after the golden age of sails. The early steam ship era represents a large population of ships that would be interesting as models. The first monitors, tugs, trawlers, riverboats, etc., would all be very interesting kits to build.
I am not a ship historian, but I think that the early steam era would provide some great models.

Well, I have been working on the ships launches for almost two weeks. The kit provided three metal launches. I started by painting them to hide the shiny metal and that was a complete disaster. I could not get the paint to stick and it would peal when I tried to glue the wooden parts to the interior. I decided to proceed without the paint hoping that the wood would hide most of the metal. The exterior hulls were planked and painted and then the interior built.
I am not entirely happy with the result; as they only look OK.
I am now starting the masts and rigging. Just thumbing through the instructions is intimidating. Well, here goes nothing!!

Since it appears that this log has been hi-jacked several times, I will stop posting and let the hijackers enjoy their discussions without my interruptions.
