Brig Le FAVORI 1806 by KORTES - 1:55

Greetings, dear colleagues. I have made anchor closures. The absence of a lathe makes me look for other manufacturing options. First I made tubes of various sizes. Then I soldered a wire belt. I made one version of brass. I tried it looks  nice, but not authentic, on the ships they were made out of lead.  I'll try another version of iron so it's closer in color.Then I'll choose between  the two.

If you're wanting an iron appearance, wouldn't a blackening agent work?

Or maybe it's better not to blacken ?

Nicely done, Kortes. I'd go with raw brass. I don't remember seeing iron skylight grilles.

 Kortes, I think all the options look great. The last photo looks perfect to me.

I beg to differ with you Kortes - there is plenty to show. Your meticulous lining out for the treenails and their placement is flawless. I'm guessing you'll need to touch up those wales after sanding the hull.
