"too much" doesn't sound good. So, enjoy your piano play. A pitty I can't hear you perform!

A lovely finish of your build, those are real stuning galleys. Very impressive. So what is that about you sticking to the piano from now on?

Still working, even in the current heat! Very nicely done. You must be tired after dragging the galley around

an "issue kit", nice, we haven't seen one like it before at MSW Cheers
-
Gawd, now I keep 'earing that camera clause constantly, 'arry? Nice big scale. You must be able to add some lovely details
-
Frank, You have done exactly that by sharing your build, and "hardships" during the build with all of us Cheers
-
It's of no importance now, but you can store it for later use, if ever The black cables will make it come out definitely. Now it fades away slightly against the brass in the background. Lovely job on the derrick. Hope the ones I have to build will turn out just as good
-
'arry, Actually, what's the scale? Can't seem to find it in you posts, nor in the title. It looks like a hughe one Cheers

You do not need to do it on every porthole, every scupper, etc. It should be random, as should be the "severity". As Lou wrote already, most capitol vessels were maintained quite good. Better to little than to much

On the gloss ... there is nothing glossy about a working boat ... Nice image on the "caulking"

Very nice mate. The parts even seem to be inline Have a grand weekend too

Salt streaks aren't very noticeable I found whilst searching on the net. Only in some very severe cases. There isn't much diference between dark or light coloured hulls either. Places you will see it best are those where the water flows down the hull because of a breakwater, scuppers, transition from surrounded deck to an open deck (bulwark or not). On the image from Lou, there may be something which forces the water down aft
-
Nice photograph, makes a good example of the salt streaks running down from deck level
-
The site's mention is just for CR purpose. I can get on it. Maybe some sites don't like US interference, as some US news sites don't want Europeans on theirs ...

Strange French pronunciation ... I would expect "Denise" or /dəˈniːz/

bring you salt streaks all the way from the deck level down, not merely below the waterline, it doesn't look real. Salt is left on the upper hull as it washes from the deck or scuppers, and when the water evaporates it becomes visible as a streak. It builds up during time and can take on a real stalactite type form. Have a look here (from https://www.straitstimes.com/) Not a fancy example, but couldn't find something quickly

Is that all you broke? Try drilling 200+ portholes with 0.5 carbide drills. Good effort though. Love the way those jaws turned out with the leather.
-
Steve, Nice progress, have you taken into account that sometimes you need to have a bit more weight on one side than on the other, due to the hull's "deformation"/not being equal on each side. Probably wise to number your jars according to their position. You can fill some up completely, and others you can partially fill to get the proper trim

Now it does have a ni e weathered look the deck ... but it may be there is a large difference between the image and reality
