Aft deadwood piece was cleaned of char and adjusted so it was a nice tight fit in its position, it’s not been glued in as its shape needs to be sanded closer to what it will finally look like.

Trussben reacted to Chuck in Syren Ship Model Company News, Updates and Info.....(part 2)
Another new item will soon be in stock. I had run out of my old swivel guns. Those were cast in the traditional way and not 3D printed. They has casting marks etc. So now that I ran out of them I figured I would do a redesign. Here are photos of the new 3D printed swivel guns. Two pieces. The yoke is flexible-ish. This enables some manipulation to just slide the yoke into position from the bottom of the barrel and into the the holes. Once you get one done the others will be easy.
I am pretty thrilled with these results because as some of you may be aware, black 3d printing resin is somewhat less than desirable. The results often look too much like plastic or are too shiny and doesnt really show details well. So I have conducted many tests yet again on my resin of choice. The black finish is not to stark a black or but nice and warm and on the touch of a dark warm gray. Very dark. The material is also matte or barely satin. So its a win-win. I tried very hard to make these look like blackened brass or brushed metal which I think I achieved pretty darn close actually. This batch is 13/16" long not including the handle. (What is used for the Winnie).
Use these straight out of the bag.
I should have some more sizes and these will be fully stocked in a few days.
