The way you made the seams was very effective.
They easy and quick - take some scraps and play with it. This build log and others have the details, but the short answer is coat the fabric in water-souble varnish and then score the fabric (with an awl, a nail, the tip of a scissor). If you get to it, let me know how it goes!!!

Are you eying the next thing on the horizon or taking a breathe?
I think I'm going to take the plunge and do a Model Shipways POB model. I'm open to suggestions!!!
The next big jumps are: 1) planking a hull, and 2) working on a bigger (more daunting) project. I like to think if I get over those humps, I can declare myself to a middling ship modeller!! -

Great work Eric, you've got a very nice model there!😁
The tiny pictures are my secret to hiding flaws.
Joking aside, even I’m surprised by how nice the model looks. I wasn’t expecting it. I viewed this solely as an apprentice/journeyman project to build skills only.
Who knew!?!
Thanks again for the kind words!!

sails look great! I’ll have to go back and try to replicate how you did it
Thanks for the kind words. My approach is simple and is covered in post #99. If your curious, I’ll post the water-based varnish I used.

Now I, merely, have a ton of running rigging to add.

Mine did not include the sails.
These are of my making. The kit’s cloth was printed with a similar process as the deck veneer. It was missing in some areas and blotchy in others. I can send you my original if you feel you are missing the full experience.

that wasn't a good Rum
No, I don't have a good alcohol-soluble dye.
Its Van Dyck Crystals - made from walnut husks and can be tweaked for a nice range of browns. -
