Dont know, Denis, somewhere sometime I just needed brush I didnt have, used piece of wood and hammered it to soften it on edge and finished job. After that, in another sitiation, I needed very little but sharp brush for something I do, also I do not remember what, which, quess what - I had not, and idea bumped ... and if can use something for painting, you can use it also for cleaning ... tried ... it works ... I am happy- 4,152 replies

Here they are. Main tool - thined tootpick Grrr ... too late I see ...little far from bow edge ... I have to live with this mistake. Now there is no way to clean letters without big mess under on sheating ... acrylic stuff ... great danger to leave white splodge which would be worst solution- 4,152 replies

Hard question, considering I started with very simplified TEHNODIDAKTA plans, continued by Campbell, with many many photo investigation and photo consulting ... During this voyage, I noticed differences of Her look through a time, and I marked them somewhere in my log ... number and positions of hull windows, number of hull rails, and many little, significant or not, different details. Just to mention - today I first time since I started, saw a bow protective net on Her in dry dock !!!! IgorSky posted it in "Amazing photographs". I did not notice presence of this net on models and kit plans or photos until today, which seems to me a bit strange ... Probably someone more dedicated could reconstruct exact look in certain period, but I am not so much dedicated So, my build is/will be a kind of mix - dimensions and proportions by Campbell, ( in measure of mess already done to compromit proportions) today look, but with all spreaded sails ... There will be more dilema, having in mind different kind of sails, and probably different rigging details As a conclusion, having in mind that destiny of my model is not to be on competitions and exibitions, but only to sit still in living room in Her glass cage, main thing is fun,and question of accuracy is, and will be under influence of my curiosity, challenge to my so called skills, patiente and, of course, time Thanks for your interest Thanks also to Mark and George for kind words of support- 4,152 replies

Thank you dear friends.There are many details of deck furniture with identical or similar color. So, there will be more "color games" here There is something I discovered and want to share: ... when you use mat acrylic transpsarent warnish toned with a drop of acrylic paint (yellow for rails and white for decks), and when this mixture just start to dry turning itself to "plastic", fast moves with brush with only little drop of this mixture left desired yellow/white tone on surface, but also left on surface nice thin shine satin effect. I am proud to declare that final painting and color triming of hull and outer bulwarks just started. After that, only marks for water level on bow and stern left, and I can climb to the deck for a long time, making all this things settled on and under all three decks. It seems that dead eyes will be first in line- 4,152 replies

I found new source of photos of CS ... Youtube How, there are only video clips? Easy Watching wideo, you noticed some detail you are interested to Pause video, and capture screen. On android, typicaly power+home, and photo is almost in cellphone memory On PC Ctrl+alt+shift+PrtScr, which sequence copies screen to ram memory, then open any picture related software you use, new document and simple paste command Here are some captured photos, which can be usefull for analyze details not on plans Little problem is - hours and hours of video materials on Youtube to watch which need to much time we usualy do not have- 4,152 replies
