Blackening the canon. See the transformation from natural metal, initial treatment with chemicals to polishing the rust out.

This little kit was given to me as a present to introduce me to the world of wooden ship building. It ended up as a shelf queen while I was looking for specific tools. As soon as I complete my current project, the Drakkar, I will be able to complete this little model.

The Barrel of the cannon really looks like cast iron! And the idea of this "Diorama" is very interesting.I like it !

@Mathias and Roland, thank you. Work has stalled a little bit for the moment.

@Bart, very little remains to be done. The most complex is the gun tackle. I just need to glue my backside to a chair for a day or two 🙂

Love the metal treatment here. I like the subject too, the gun deck is a good idea.

Thank you Rui. The project has been stagnating a little bit. I hope to resume work on it later in May again.

That is correct PanzerMeister12. I also plan to add a few more organizers to my work station.

@Charlie, that is an organizer/cradle which I use to store tools, materials and paints. Since that picture were taken, organizer has been populated with more tools, etc. I consider it an essential tool.
