Lookin good! Crew really bring it to life!

Thanks, nothing is glued down presently, always keeping the options open. I do like the figures at the present time but I am going to finish the entire ship before I make any giant leaps. Assuming I live long enough😂

Working on channels 🔻

Decided on black🔻

 

I suppose I'll have to add cannon lids soon

Still moving forward.🔻

Just hanging for now🔻

Channel supports🔻

I've been playing with these links, just inserted into place not permanent at this stage. Working out the issues.🔻

Front channels in place🔻

Working on front channels and chain plates, the billboard is being test fit for a template. Just a little progress shot

Lantern

This was modeled in Sketchup Pro 2021 from the drawings Chuck posted in his thread. It was adjusted for size based on the prints. Then I used a Anycubic Mono resin  printer to get the final product. Airbrushed the piece to match the Alaskan Yellow Cedar ( which was by far the hardest part of the job)  the interior parts were hand painted with a very fine brush to get the details of the candle and the floor. 

Mounted on the first side 🔻

Hinged Door shot 🔻

Here is what the sketchup model looked like🔻

and this is what the pre print file looked like 🔻

 

and what it looked like when it was out of the printer before the removal of the supports

 

I really need to get a crappier camera, or boost my skills by a magnification of 10...but it really looks good when your just standing and looking at it. 

I'll post some nice white screen backdrop shots when I clean the model up at the conclusion to this build.

Chapter 12 parts are now in hand....all I have to do now is finish.
