jollymillar Posted February 14, 2015 #35 Posted February 14, 2015 DiKri, Fabulous looking model, you must be well pleased with it so far. Could I ask what stain you used on the hull and if any on the decking ?? Some leave their hulls pain wood, but from what I have seen I like the staining. Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks, JM

Thanks, JM Hi JM. Thanks for your post. I didn't use much stain on this model. For the second layer planking, walnut is used for the upper part, mahony for the lower part and dibétou for the deck planking. The wood was then protected with a few coats of mat acrylic varnish. Only the darker galleries where stained with walnut stain from Admirality Paints and then varnished. For the masts, I used a walnut coloured varnish (Levis Linitop).
