I've been adding the eyebolts and rings to the deck. Because I am getting low on them I have only put in the ones that would have been used with the guns. I then put together Chucks 24mm boxwood wheel kit, made the housing sides, drums and disks in pear and assembled them all. Also I did up some timberheads but I think I will redo them, they look to overdone (carved) to me. Cheers ~         | ||

Love the character which is nicely painted and gives a good indication of scale. cheers Pat Thanks Pat it was fun painting up the little guy to fit in with the ship. Question on mast rings? I don't like the pin stripe tape that the kit supplied to use for mast rings. It is very shiny unlike anything else in the build. While I have searched and read about folks using paper to make them. I did up an experiment seen in the pic below. I used a sharpie permanent marker to color a strip of matt photo paper seen in the lower ring test. This was glued on with white glue. The second ring above it is from the pin strip tape which I will not be using. Do you think a sharpie marker is good enough to use on paper or should I go with paint? I stained the bit of dowel after to see if the sharpie ink would run from the stain and it did not. On top of that it seems very durable as I have rubbed on it and picked at it to see how solid it is. What do you use if making them? If paper, how do you color it, or do you use colored construction paper? Your thoughts as always would be appreciated!  | ||
