    Your build is fantastic! great job no matter how long it took. On the white rigging and sails try using a strong mixture of tea placed in spray bottle and spray a fine mixture on the sails and rigging while wiping dry the exposed wood. the Tannen in the tea will darken the sails and rigging enough to allow a great build to shine. I have used tea in this manner to color/darken sails with no ill effect on the material.

    I cannot recommend the tea treatment because of the tannen.  Tannen will cause deteriation of the fibers.  Instead, use an oil based stain, perhaps diluted 20% .     Duff

    Thanks,

    I had actually already thought about doing this.
    Perhaps with diluted paint (tamiya colors diluted with water / isopropanol) dont now yet.

    But before I do anything about this
    I first have to try this out on some leftovers  from the rigging.

  2. Update,

    The outside of the forecastle is ready. The doors will be made later and a ladder will be provided later in the castle itself .

     

    A tricky part

    Saw at the right height (and dust prevention with tape)

    There is a proper tool for every job.
    A file is not a chisel :default_wallbash:  (I learned this in the technical school when I was 12years old...)

    Oh dear. Sorry for putting you to all that extra work - that's certainly not what I intended. Still, I think you're doing the right thing and you'll end up happier with it.

    No worries.
    This is going to look much better then my first idea 

  4. Thanks Fabio,

     

    After searching through my documentation, I found that Steven is absolutely right. Going back to the beginning of this log I came across Matthew Baker's drawing. The sides of the fore castle must be as identical as possible all around. Wales, symbols, figures they have to go through in one line as much as possible.

    So first i need to remove some pieces.

    And then start to  rebuild.
    2 doors are provided with "sufficient" passage height. Parts are first pre-painted as much as possible. But, here and there some area's will have to be sanded and repainted.

    I think i am back on the right track. Thanks for following

  5. I am probably too late with this. Sorry.


    If you paint the deck that is under the grating black then it will look more like there is an "space" under this grating.
    So, just paint the piece of deck under the grating black. The grating itself is not be painted black.

     

    Ps,

    If you do not like this yourself. Then you should not do this.
    This is just free advice.
