A bit of an update.
Some detail added. The railing is a test piece in soldered brass and nickel silver wire. There are quite a few images of these ships on the internet. It is a Tarros Class and there seem to have been at least 12 of them. Most (including Atlantic Jamaican) had several names before being scrapped. It looks like there is at least one survivor; the former Atlantic Bermdian now called the Astron. |

A bit more progress with the railings and rigging. This is all scratch built and taken from photos found on the web.

Atlantic Jamaiican - Bows .
I guess I pressed the wrong button again . I sent you this tip , hoping it would help with the bow shaping .You could take the side of an oval deep sided serving bowl .You know , one of those oval ones with curved sided top to bottom .
Spritz the paper with a weak stream of clear ( don't soak the paper ) Then soak the paper in Distilled water and stick it to the side of the bowl at the angle that looks right ( remember you're seeing the bow inside out .) When almost dry remove it and then set it back down on the same place to dry . Cut out the pieces you need, glue in place an there you are . This was something my second wife taught me .She did a lot of pin'atas in craft class . they taught her to do this for types of curves and angles . Hey , it works ! Papersurprise 50 |

Cunning idea.
I wonder why specifically distilled water? Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip. I will give that a try on the next one. I assume the distilled water is to prevent any water marks/stains on the paper?
