Nice drawing of the foc'st'le bulkhead. Surely there was a round up to the decks as well?

Hope it works out this time! The rest looks great.

Makes for a most attractive model, Chris! Very neatly done.

Interesting. I don't recall any other builder having this problem. Are you sure that this is not the upper deck pattern? 

A very neat solution, clearly illustrated and described, Keith. Thank you for the tutorial!

Have a great weekend, Grandpa.

Actual sail seams do look darker against the light. The seams need to be of scale width and even along their length - not easy at small size. That is why I used a ruling pen instead of piecing the sail together,

Good luck with your do-overs. We have all had that happen to us - often repeatedly!

What did the instructions (if any!) say to do? That might help us help you.

Marc; by now you must be a qualified plastic surgeon. Well done on the figure modification!

I rule on one side only with a thicker paint mix, but suppose that you could do both sides if you wished.

The uniform width of line is provided by the ruling pen. Its two blades are adjusted to the width apart of the overlap. The paint consistency needs to be experimented with for a smooth flow. Some practice is needed to get this right!

An alternative to gluing up separate strips is to paint the overlaps of the cloths using acrylic paint and a ruling pen.

Love the slightly faded appearance of the colors you've used.

May I suggest not using tea? It is acidic and will eventually make the material brittle and crumble. A wash of either watercolor or acrylic paint is a much better choice.

Andrew's sail ( Post #9) looks terrific!

Making significant progress since I last looked in. Very nice, Hamilton!

Well, ain't that a fun challenge, Chris!

Well, it's authentic. They didn't have masking tape back in the day, did they? Looking terrific.

Dear Highlander,

Forgive the pun? You obviously haven't read many posts here yet!  Welcome aboard.

Now, THOSE show her elegant lines to advantage! Thanks for posting them.

Whereas I've rigged from back to front, bottom to top! Take your pick.

Exemplary work as ever!

Having recently made similar capstans, I know how much time and effort you've put into making yours!

...and again.

Just found your build log. Very nice work, Rik.

Working hinge on the lantern as well! Wow!
