Yesterday, I added the last of the major structural components to the cog model. Specifically, the parts that are supposed to represent the ends of beams that on the real ship pierce the hull planking and stick out slightly.
Of course, on a card model, these are made up of several layers of small parts. 48 parts make up the 12 beam ends.
Because these are made of moderately thick cardboard, which likes to delaminate, I soaked each assembly with a couple drops of thin CA glue. This wicks into the card stock and hardens to a plastic-like consistency. I was then able to file down and paint the surfaces, which seemed to work pretty well.
