it is , as long as you keep up with it , if you just keep collecting them , then it is wasting money.
thanks for looking in Lecsandro
busy week at work , so I am still working on weeks 13 and 14
about 2 weeks ago I ordered some test led lights. 3 chip leds in 3 sizes and a flickering led to simulate a candle flame
this to test out which would fit best in the little lanterns
they have arrived and I thought the flickering one would be too big but I got it fitted in.
once I get the issues where it shows how they ll fit in the ship to make sure I can make the wiring invisible, I ll order the rest.

WEEK 13 and 14 continued
the lanterns consist of 4 very small brass parts . the body needs to be bended and glued together.
next step will be adding the top and bottom part but because I am going to try to add lights inside I am leaving them open for the moment
for the lighting I have ordered some very small test led's and also one that is supposed to simulate a flickering flame.
this last one will most likely not fit inside the lantern, but I will experiment a bit. once I know how I will continue I will order the rest of the led's in the right size
finally I started fitting the doors window bars (some wooden strips where here also needed to fit it properly)
2 hinges and a handle will also be fitted to finish it off

WEEK 13 and 14 (no I haven't forgotten 12 but the brass parts where damaged, so I have to wait on replacements)
both issues have the same contents :brass parts for the side prison walls, lanterns and doors
as expected the brass parts don't fit snugly in the wood parts so I decided to use some small wood strips to make them fit better
First picture shows one finished part on the left, the wooden and brass part in the middle and the cut outs of the wooden part
one of the cut outs I reduce in thickness to about .8 mm which I fix inside the wooden part using masking tape. then I put the brass part on top (see picture 2)
measuring each inside then cut some wooden strips 2 mm wide. apply some white glue and push against the inside using
the other cut out which I sanded the sides down so they are .6 mm less on each side (picture 3)
once the glue is dry sand them gently down to the level of the part
afterwards remove the masking tape and cut out and turn the part over. apply some superglue on the sides of the brass part and then put 4 more wooden strips on the inside
sand afterwards and then all is left is to paint the wooden parts fat black

WEEK 11
wooden and brass parts for the prison cell walls
the brass parts are spray painted with metallic charcoal
for the mdf parts after some experimenting with stains and so, I settled for plain flat black paint

WEEK 8, 9 and 10
each week brings 2 parts for the lower deck
no strips of wood for the planking but 2 pieces of cardboard.
main reason I didn't use them was that it is in 2 parts with a seam visible through the open hull
so I used left over 7 mm strips (way to big but they ll do) from the GF and used oak stain to darken them
the bulkheads are treated with a black japan stain
