Noticed guns are not made of brass anymore, only four rolls of thread are supplied and the sails are pre-made.

Hello, I am a new member and thank you. Bare with me, never posted in a build log before so this will be a learn as you go process. This is the second time I have built this kit. The first kit , twenty years ago I did not finish after getting to rigging. This time should go much better, being a home owner with a dedicated build room , finacelly sound, better equipments and the internet. I have already noticed one draw back, my eyes are not what they use to be, ha ha. Here we go.

Started working on decks, experienced with several different methods. Ended up cutting up hundreds of 80mm planks. Individually sprayed each planks with oil based polyurethane clear satin, both sides and edges. After drying used black sharpie marker on edges. Found that sealing the planks kept the ink from the marker from soaking into the planks .The gun deck was the last one and the best one, got better as I went on, learn as you go. Used contact cement to apply planks. Hope the main decks turnout even better. Any thoughts or suggestions?
