re: the am gratings Bri;
I used to use them a lot in my work as an architecture model maker, and I don't know if you have any more to do, but this tip may help. If we needed a larger grating than the bought pieces would allow we would stagger the position of the joins in the longer lengths to avoid a butt joint across the whole piece.
 
WELL BRI nearly another fab ship built an whats next as id like to see you build a vikeing long ship with the one sail an all the oars

not sure how old my kit is but all the metal pieces are solid bronze, (had to file some burrs off) whereas I have seen online white metal pieces in the newer kits. is this correct? Not that i'm moaning the solid brass is better quality than the white metal.
 
Just had a thought mate (duuurh), at least you won't have to copper her bottom as she was payed with a white lead compound! So ... remember your 'elf and safety ... :cool:

Ok guys I value your input so here goes do I leave the bronze/brass pieces as is, or I have some nice gold leaf form a previous project ? But.......there are over 600 pieces :)IMG20260714080250.webpIMG20260714081741.webp

According to my book King Charles I insisted the carvings were all gilded
