Wintergreen Posted March 1 Author Share #368 Posted March 1 Soo, this was a funny little piece to piece together, piece by piece, so to say. All dovetails and pins handcut with jewellers saw and filed to fit. It is the forward hatch and stairway just aft of the main mast. I decided to give it a wash of staining to dampen the quite white appearance of it. In order to match I sanded the main hatch coaming also and applied a wash to it too. When dry I will give it a quick touch up with 320 grit paper and apply a couple of layers of laquer. The bottom edge is sanded to the same rise as the deck beams so I used the top edge as index when mating all the corners. The two small blocks in the upper right corner (one with an arrow) was used to get the right size of the openings, and also keep things fair and square. Here it is still moist after the staining hence the quite dark colour. It is not glued in place yet either. The real deal was through bolted from top down through the deck beams. I will not bother with that. I know my limitations (I think). 😉 Cheers guys! wefalck, Speedy, Siggi52 and 8 others 7 4 Quote Happy modelling!
