MrBlueJacket got a reaction from Racer31h in Red Jacket by MrBlueJacket - FINISHED - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - Scale 1/8" = 1' (1:96)
So here's how the deadeyes and chainplates come together. First you need to bend the chainplate:
Then you have to put some .010 wire in the upper u-bend, crimp it in, and then wrap the wire around the deadeye, and CA glue the wire :
And finally you can nail it in place with a couple of pins.

After that, it is put on the cap-rails, the mask off the interior and waterline, spray what remains black. Now it starts to get real fun!

Actually, the first three were fun - then it just gets boring. Still, it's better than sanding a hull.

And now the very tedious part - assembling and placing the deadeyes and chainplates. The photo-etched chainplates need to be bent, then their tops formed in a "U", a wire inserted and the "U" crimped down on the wire. Next a deadeye is placed on, and the wire brought up and around it, glued in place, and the excess wire cut off. Place, drill holesd for the pins, insert, repeat 60+ times. Ugh! Here's the port fore channel finished, with the double beaded molding place on the edge.
