Norwegian Plastic Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted October 15, 2021 Some time ago I started on the catheads. It is now time to finish them. The bollards, bow spit (?) and catheads need to be mounted before I fit the fore end of the railings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Plastic Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted October 15, 2021 Started work on the bollards. They are bolted to the deck and will be set with epoxy when ready. Washers are glued to the under side of the deck. JpR62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Plastic Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share #35 Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Shaped them roughly and gav them a brown wash, then some rust diluted in vinegar. The last picture shows the real one and what look I aim for.
