    i havent thought of that. well i would maybe rather see the outcome on other hull at first as I dont have idea what i would want to achieve. should it be like rust ? or glow? aeging ? i have plenty of rivets to try on on hull though. do you have such example of please? anyway massive thanks Bruma.

    Hi Bruma. I did try it. Massive Thank you! I will post you probably love emoticon as you pointed me to dry brush method and helped to enhance the hard effort of carving . I knew there was somethijg missing in it, something very important. I looked into it and the mwthod is fabulous. It consist of building up layers upon layers of tiny amount of gold or metallic color with pointing of brush rather than strokes. Always from tiny portion up not otgerwise. I believe it paid off hansomely. It enhanced carved relief that stepped even more out of black surface behing. At this point it is more than adequate i think. What do you think?

    Little amusing details. (So Still ongoing)..... How is everyone? Im posting sime recent detailing work along lifeboats platform. I decided deliberately to sit platform on cabin roof instead of letting it little higher and I secured it with curved rod endings eyes for middle boat. Thin legs supporting it are simply not fastened on bottom side as firm to keep all platform and boats firmly, now its okish. then various works on boats related...rudder is not completed yet... ..thank you very much for the look. Vlad.

    Hi Martin , thanks, opinion much appreciated. V.

    Dilemma. Good morning gentlemen. I have dilemma to solve. Which one would you opted for final mount of cheeks ornamensts? I ended up having two , liking both diferently. At some point i like and value carved much more because of difficulty time and skill it endured , and being 3D yet not being gold colored and not detailed to the point of complete realism another just gold painted 2dimensional one possess...im a bit scared to paint carved one though. Which would you pick if it were you ? Thanks a lot for any opinion. Vlad .
