Gahm Posted October 18, 2018 Share #154 Posted October 18, 2018 Your deck fittings look great! They always are a lot of fun. Where the cannon balls are concerned I also had the feeling that the kit provided ones are a bit on the small side and went with 'larger calibers'.

Peter Bloemendaal Posted November 17, 2018 Share #166 Posted November 17, 2018 Looking great Svein, There is one thing I want to mention. The copper hull looks great but the ageing process ssems to be going pretty quick. Don't forget it will keep going. I treated one sample pretty aggressively and the copper is peeling by now. So at the stage when you are happy the way it looks you may want to seal the hull to stabelise the way it looks. I hope that makes sense.
