Welcome
TO MY WORKBENCH.
Welcome back! Well last time we finished up working on the hull, so the hull assembled and painted I started out by painting up the deck, the gunnels, and finishing up the deck-house. I started out with a base deck color on medium brown lightened with a little tan on both the main deck and on the deck-house roof and details. I then added a light wash of brown ink followed by a light dry brushing of tan to pick out some details. Next the deck-house was added to the deck and some more clean-up was completed. The deck hold cover was added to the deck and painted the say way the deck was, the deck-house ladder was installed, and the stern swan head was painted and mounted in place. I also painted up the carving on the bow with a light slate blue. F inely the skiff was painted and added to the hold cover. (I'll be adding some extra details like a folded mast, sail, and oars inside the skiff. The last piece for tonight was the addition and painting of the main mast and the bowsprit. I had to cut the mast mounting pin as the flag molded to the mast would have been pointing backwards. On a vessel propelled by the wind the banner at the mast head should be blowing to the forward of the ship not the aft. The main mast finial was painted brass and the mast stays were painted a dark brown. Well next up will be the rigging and the sails, so stay tuned!
Until next time, Keep Building!
