SHIPS FITTINGS

I used the Sergal fittings wherever I could and scratch built what I had to if the parts were missing or too far out of scale. Unfortunately, this meant a lot of scratch building. I call my model 90% scratch built because, from a purely time point of view, that was the percentage of the total time that was involved in scratch building. The acid etched transom and quarter galleries were highly modified. Only the figurehead was used as is although I did spray paint it gold.
