bluenose2 Posted March 6, 2016 #1 Posted March 6, 2016 Hi Les here. A scratch build I am going to do is of a modern sailing ketch. As with modern sailing vessels all fittings are chrome, deck items are clear coated and lines are polyester etc. If I cannot get the correct scale fittings in something chrome or brittania metal that I could chrome with All Clad, would it be acceptable to build all fittings in wood and gloss coat them. Any info would be good. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote

You could also use silver paint instead of All Clad and then gloss coat them. texxn5, bluenose2, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
