Sorry I fell behind in reposting. Still working on posting my Constitution build. Anyway, this is my Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat which is being built as part of our San Diego Ship Modelers' Guild Community Build. There are currently 8 members building the longboat which we started in October 2012.

Completed deck planking and applied stain. The stain was a mixture of black and brown paint applied as a wipe. Once the deck was complete it was time to install the bulwark rivets. The rivets were purchased from the Tichy Train Group and are .035". Each rivet hole was individually drilled using a #77 Drill Bit (actually, about 20 drill bits). Bulwarks were then painted that distictive Constitution green.

Thanks David but remember these are old pictures. You will see the progression of clutter along with the progression of Connie.

Painting in progress. As a side note, I hate painting. When I do have to paint I use only Badger paints. They are water based and very thin which allows the grain to show through the wood.
