Hi Chris,
enjoy your free time with your daughter and the coming newbie.
before you know you have time again for your ship modell
maybe in your spare free time fix a work space in your new house out of range of children and then after a busy day you will start again
I had the same experience with my children and new job.

Worked on finishing various odd jobs on the back of the ship. I put the center "insignia" ornament in place. Tidied up the windows. Still working on the paint job of all the ornaments and wood. I completely repainted the green stained woods and shaded them using inks. I guess the border between what is a wooden model ship and a warhammer miniature is beginning to fade ;-) In this fashion I could even re-paint the entire ship hehe.

Hey guys
I spent the afternoon putting all canon hatches on. I've got 2 more to do and a few ropes to finish them.
I also put all canons carriages on the ship, with a very simple fitting. I know its not historically correct but I did not wan't to go through the pain of adding full tackle. The build is already hard enough for me as it is. I think the canons was absolutely the most boring job so far, glad its over.
I will spend the coming weeks finishing various odd jobs around the hull, cleaning up some details, paint work and re-doing the anchors to be a bit more good looking. Then I think I am ready to start on the masts and rigging... drumroll!

Hey guys
Ive not had a chance to build the last half year. We moved into our new house, my 2 companies has been really busy (in a good way) and we are expecting a new baby. I do want to get on with building cause I miss doing it, but its hard to find the time really.

The wales, if im correct are not tapered. They are the same width across. On some builds its easier to place a wale first, then plank downward and above it. Others plank the whole hull normally, then add wales on top afterwards.

I just can t stop looking at the last pictures, it s like all of a sudden the die cast ornaments that come with the kits make much more sense, i built the San Felipe many years ago, pity it was before the internet. The wood also looks great! Fantastic and very creative!

Yes that was my goal: to get a more unified look instead of the brass parts feeling tacked on.
You mean the white of the underwater ship? I mixed a tiny bit of ochre into white to make it yellowed. Using a wash to stain it is nice because you will bring out the texture of the planking. But its really hard to get an even finish on such a large area, It will look blotchy quickly.
A good way of making rich whites on ornaments is basing it with a light gray first. Then add layers if slightly watered down white. This will look much better than a single coat of white.

Yes i find working with them very userfriendly. Sometimes i use a can of black acrylic spraypaint to "prime" metal parts. It dries in minutes after which you can easily put any color on. If you like lots of golds and yellows, a brown undercoat works best to get a clean metalic finish. I use brushes. Airbrush is a lot of hassle and usually not worth the trouble of masking everything
If you want some photos/tips you can find them in my guide on the forum

The paints I use are Citadel (Warhammer miniature paints) and they are water acrylic based. This makes it easy to work with as opposed to Humbrol-like paints. Contrary to popular belief, these modern acrylic paints hold perfectly fine on metal also.
They have a range of "inks" or "washes/shades/glazes". The names are all esoteric/fantasy. But basically Nuln Oil = just black ink. Calthan Camouflage = Green etc...

Hey J, thanks ! I have not done a tutorial on aging the wood. I simply used inks/stains to tone them. Nothing else was done afterwards.
I must add that it is extremely difficult to get a consistent finish, especially on a large ship. So caution is advised if you want a cohesive look.
