Really beautiful work!  I like how your copper plating came out.  Can I ask what you used to achieve that effect?

Green / White (Tiffany Green) Patina Solution, Copper, Brass

I did some pieces of copper before testing.
You have to do different applications with the brush and when it is still wet, clean the surface with a damp cloth.
The liquid is a bit irritating, you must use a mask and use it in an airy environment.

Almost over .....

Kitchen and other details of the bridge

Aging of copper.
I wanted to give an antique effect with the copper green patina, treating the surface with a product to create the green patina.

Copper sheet cover:
I took the 8 mm adhesive copper, I made a brass shape with guides to cut the shape of the rivets.
The rivets are engraved with two toothed wheels of different sizes for the edges and for the central part.

Bridge details

Bow frieze

Construction of the lifeboat

Support for the base.
Made the wooden columns on the lathe, I created a silicone mold, and then made with liquid metal the final columns

Stern details and sculptures

I covered with thin planking in walnut for the painted part, and in boxwood for the visible part

The model is made in 1/65 scale so I have adopted a full hull system.
Glue the ordinateho filled with foam and then grouted with fiberglass filler

To wrap the ropes I used the French method, though now I ordered the Chuck System.
