Hi Alex,i used antique furniture polish it's a blend of oils with linseed oil maybe boiled gives it the darker colour.I have put a few layers on and once it soaks in it's darker as well.

Hi Shaz,i made the Occre Palamos fishing boat for my first kit,i was very happy with it and learnt enough to carry on.The colour photo's helped a lot as to how it's supposed to look,you can add other details if you like.I've ordered the Occre endeavour for my 4th ship kit should be a nice one.I'm doing a caldercraft supply but pretty vague instructions but with other builds here of it i can do it.Good luck start of with a small easier one.

Thanks Frank the boat could have come out much better but i never said i was any good.
-
