jdbondy Posted September 23 Share #310 Posted September 23 I would be interested in seeing more details on how you did the FC stanchions and rail, because that looks to me like a complicated process to get the stanchions vertical while accurately cutting the holes in the rail to accept them.

Stuntflyer Posted September 28 Share #314 Posted September 28 (edited) It's what I used on my breastrail columns. It won't remove all of the char, but it does lighten it a lot. https://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_2022_04/Winchelsea_0307.jpg.aa662ef15d9a1ee626312ecf2e6de5aa.jpg I added some thinned wood colored paint and W-O-P afterwards for a final cleanup.
