Shipyard's Endeavor

[kentyler]

the railings start being being glued to cardstock
then glued back to back
the top rail was bent by hand to shape
then each post had to be trimmed carefully to fit
time to give everything a coat of dull black and see how it came out

[kentyler]

a view from the back
and then
back to the front
where we try the door for fit
and then cut out the sides and runners for the ladders
and make them up

[kentyler]

the little ladders i cut down the sides to make them thinner and more like the illustrations in the book
then the "iron" straps for a hatch cover
cut from paper,
with little pieces of bamboo on the end for the hinge pivot
the "bolts" are punched with a very small punch and applied with a little glue
for the rear deck railings

the guns are very small, from experience my problem will be making them to bulky
after trying several things i settled on cutting the barrels from bamboo
