While I have been patiently waiting for Rob to dazzle my senses with more of his amazing terrain art skills, I have moved on to one of the brigs in the Black Seas US Squadron pack. The modifications so far are:
1) Cut the spars away from the masts and dress the masts.
2) Cut the two pieces of the main course furled sail away from the plastic spar.
3) Cut and dress new spars from 0.32 music wire.
4) Glue the two pieces of the furled sail to the new main course spar. Fill in the gap with putty and sculpt to match.
5) cut two gun hatches in a piece of 60# card and glue it to the inside of the taff rail at the stern.
6) cut two hatch covers and glue them to the out side of the stern, matching the hatch locations inside
7) Mount a fife rail at the aft base of the main mast to tie off the braces from the foremast spars.
8) Extend the fighting tops
9) Make the ratlines with the new jig
That is where I am at so far.
