Finished casting ,painting and installing the cannon.the resin casting idea worked out well and thanks to the 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon in the newspaper ,I got the complete resin casting kit for less than 20 bucks!Win Win all around!I still have to do the deck cannon but progress is steady.

Nick,I just pulled the trigger and ordered the kit.Should be easy compared to my Ersatzia!

I decided to paint the bottom of the boat white.Looks pretty good!

Thanks!It is so much fun not having to conform to reality!My planes are very cool too!

Good results!

Made a RTV mold of the cannon master and resin cast copies.Primered and painted them Testor's Gun metal and epoxied them in.
-
so you are saying the casting of the metal parts are of poor quality?

The balsa ship's boat is really well carved.i decided to plank it up.Looks good!
-
Thanks!The stain matches pretty well!

Cut a square in the deck and put in some forecastle grating.

I am thinking of buying this kit after the hull of the Ersatzia is completed.Looks like a nice kit!.
-
Thinking of getting the Artesania Latina HMS Hermione frigate.Any one have this kit and if it is worthwhile?
-
Scratch -built the master for the deck cannon.not as easy as it looks!

Made the upper gun port "fruit loops".Not easy.first I had to put a piece of red oak in the vise,then I had the drill the inside hole,then cut the piece out with the coping saw and bevel the 4 edges with the block plane.Next I cut thin sections and then used a circle template to mark the diameter of the circles.Used a sanding drum in the Dremel to conform to the markings.Glued them on stained them.If I had a small lathe I could cut out many steps!I wish Dremel would make a lathe attachment w/tailstock!
