  1. Looks really sharp Erik. I’ve found WOP on painted surfaces does not work for me. Too shiny. Not much help, I know. Looking forward to how you proceed w the model and the finishing. Steve
  2. You could easily charge at least $850 for this. I’m not sure what the wood cost is, but I’m sure it’s extensive. Shipping alone will be expensive. Those two chapters really give builders a solid foundation for a great model. People are paying for the quality of your design and kit. (Maybe Mike has a better opinion since he’s built many of your newer kits.) Steve
  3. Welcome back! I doubt anyone has forgotten your build of this. I was wondering when you would return. Lol Steve
  4. Completed gratings on the third attempt. I ended up orienting them so the top of the battens run port to starboard instead of bow to stern. (Hope that makes sense. It’s hard to explain.) I am shocked the transom is still attached after all the deconstruction. I deleted the redundant posts on this update as well. How many photos of this grating debacle do we need? Steve
  5. What is this magic material? 😎 I like how you added the element of suspense in your prototype. Steve
  6. Thank you both. I ordered the B/C Brass Black. Below are photos of the poop deck installed. I started rebuilding the coamings. Ledges will be created next using 1/32” x1/32” strips. Steve
  7. Going to go with one of these as they are available on Amazon. Anyone have experience with either of those? They look pretty similar. Steve
  8. Back on track with the planking of this bulkhead completed. More cherry grating strips were ordered from Model Expo. I considered cutting them from scratch, but did not really want to get into this exploration on my table saw just yet. Up next: create new windows for this bulkhead and bulwarks. Then, I will detail this bulkhead before install and final shaping. Gratings will be completed before metal rings and eyebolts are added. Anyone use this stuff to blacken brass?
