Erik W got a reaction from dgbot in 18th Century Longboat by Erik W - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:48 - First wooden ship build
Thanks for the kind words! I painted the brass black after I shaped it, but before I glued it on. I touched it up after the parts were attached. I had blackened the lift rings when I added them the other day. The blackening seemed easy to rub off, so I figure with the parts that will be handled more when attaching, I'll use black paint.

I finished the thwart that the mast will be attached to. The brass work was more difficult than I expected. The material is soft and noodley. At any rate, I think it came out well. I was able to match the paint on the belaying pins to the wood color pretty decently.

Erik,
that mast thwart including the "brass fitting" looks extremely nice.
Did you oxidized the brass or painted it?
Very good job!

Here's what I've been working on this week. I built the cockpit. Since I was doing metal work, I also added the two lift rings on the center bottom plank.

Thanks very much for the kind comments Mark, Per, Pat, David, Grant, Duff, Jan and John .
Wasn't that me Grant :D ?
I made the grapnel anchor from brass sheet which I filed into shape, silver soldered and blackened :

One of the last things to do before bottling the boat - the oars. Pretty self-explanatory :

I'm back from my trip to Wales and England, and back working on the longboat. I've added the curved piece attached to the cap rail at the bow, the front part of the locker at the stern, and the thwarts (not including the one the mast will go in).
