The taffrail is made and installed:

I used CA on the edges, over the PVA, so I could have something to carve smooth and blend the railings.

I have a few minor spots to fill and then it will be time to paint!
 

Speaking of which, I am going to treat Hannah like a wargaming miniature and basecoat/prime black.  All vinyl is already coated in sealant.

 

Basecoating in black gives depth to the model and will help give the ship a well-used/gritty look.

The painting begins:

When I paint models or miniatures, I like to work from the inside out.  
 

In this case I will paint the deck and lower hull first.  Then I will paint the yellow stripe and then all bulwarks, which will be a barn red or burgundy color.

The next layer on the hull, working from the inside out, is the yellow band.

 

The next layer for the deck will be the inner bulwarks.

I added all burgundy and the black striping.  I also taped off the yellow stripe and brought the burgundy down to it.

Castorland, from Poland, makes some really nice nautical puzzles.  I like them a lot.

 

I like to glue them and frame them and then the Admiral likes to hang them in her house.

It sits low on the deck, but that’s how it is on the plans too.

I suppose if I sealed it well enough, it would be waterproof enough.


I have seen card ship models built for RC before, so I know it can be done.  Personally, I would never put a ship model in the water.  I’d be too afraid of something going wrong.

 

As it is, I do seal the card models periodically during construction, otherwise they won’t age well.  Environmental humidity will wreak havoc on a card model.

The rudder is painted and the banding has been cut:

I’ll use a pounce wheel on it to make the impression of rivet heads and then paint it a dark gray.

I’ve been busy today as evidenced by my messy work area.

 

The rudder is pinned in place.  The curly pieces for the rail trim are in place.  The first set of posts for the swivel guns is in place.

A bit of my personal history.  Railings, swivel gun posts, timberheads and the like, and I, have never gotten along well.  They are my least favorite parts of a model ship and I don’t know why.

 

They nearly ended the Sultana, which was my first real ship model.  I did not enjoy them at all.

 

I did not have a problem with these.  They aren’t perfect, but they will do.

Sewing pins are cheaper and easier to source than wire stiff enough for the job required, 😁 necessity is the mother of invention.

Now, she just needs some hawse holes, a couple of sheaves and some channels, and that’ll be it for the outer hull fittings.

 

Soon, I’ll have to decide what to do with the stern.

The channels are on.  I still need to make some brackets, but that will happen in the near future.  I did not go crazy with steel pins, like if this were a wood model.  This is card, so there won’t be any crazy tension on the shrouds anyway.
