Well you don't want the nails to protrude like rivet heads.  You're doing so well....don't make that mistake.

Thank you for your advice Rob,  I will see if i can hammer those rivet heads down in between two metal plates, so they look more like nails.

I didn’t want to step on your toes, but the plate example you gave of an actual hull is more of what you’re looking for.  The nail impressions need to be imprints not headed.  
Good job

Looks good...you're after a slight impression....the slight indication of a nail imprint...nothing more in this scale.

 

Laying them individually will take some time...that is why I invented an embossing method to emboss copper tape...it looks fantastic and works very fast.   I'm all about FAST.

 

Good luck.image.png.3f22b70c80bb66030b160caa48229100.png

Your copper tape looks good Rob! And indeed much faster. Maybe for a next build in the future :)  I was not such a fan of tape because most of the time you can see its tape

and not real plates. Tape tends to rinkle.  But your method seems to work out just fine. I guess your tape is thicker than what some other people use.

Next i painted the inboard side of the bulwarks in mat white. I painted this first before laying the deck planks, that way i dont damage the planks with tape.

Also i wanted to paint first before cutting out the water escape hatches again to avoid having to apply masking tape to the outer black hull.

Its the first time i used an airbrush for painting, it was getting used to to control the correct flow but it turned out quite well.

 

So next i will cut out the hatches. While im still pressing down those rivets in the copper plates :)

The tape crinkles because the tape is forced to bend around the curves of the hull.  If you apply less length at the critical points of hull curvature, you can avoid this issue.

Next i cut out the water hatches. To determine the exact location on the hull i drew a side view of the hull on see trough paper and held it against the ship.

then i marked the four corners of every hatch and drilled out most of the wood. making the frames square with a file.
