Continuing railings and wales.

Railing is finally shapped and glued.  Broke a lot of wood in the process. Used a wood burner with heat turned down.  Made multiple curve templates.  Thanks you occre providing a lot of extra wood for this size!!

 

Worked on later parts when I would get frustrated.

Deck gratting in.  Rudder almost ready.

Bow bulwark with gilded adornments.  

 

Also working on the doors. Really don't like the metal doors.  Painting them just looks like an afterthought.  But fabricating at this scale is a challenge!  Worked through lots of samples. Here are my latest alongside a painted door. Far right one is window screen on thin plexiglass, adhered with clear parts/window maker cement.  Probably going to ditch the double door jamb style from metal.  Just too small/thin and hard to bend.  The upper aft breezways on the model also have the extra adornments that the imagery gets glued to.  Don't really like the images so I'm going to play with option to fabricate them a little differently and maybe add some windows instead.

Feeling better about the doors.  They just take a while to kick out with the thin wood bended frames.

Also set the first aft breezeway in place.

Placing some of the doors and more deck details.  Good time for a light check!

Those lights look great!

This ship is one of my favorites just on looks. And I'd love the schematics and code for the Arduino, that's such a great job.
