Ben, amazing attention to detail! Does it really matter if the diameter of the rope is off a bit? Nope, it functions and looks great! My hat is off to you.
I think it would have been wise to add a shim or a washer between the painted brass wheel and the wooden stand. Right now there's the chance of the wooden part scraping all the paint off the center of the wheel...
@@TheMidwestModelShop Sorry, I should have waited before commenting. You showed the can: Birchwood Brass Black Metal Finish. I've been wanting to do the same thing with some of my brass parts, but didn't know what to use. Where do you get that stuff?
@@TheMidwestModelShop Thanks. I really enjoy watching you build and I appreciate all the tips. By the way, I'm currently working on the Gunboat Philadelphia (1776) by Model Shipways.
2:21 The caulkers did not a very good job over there and should get fired 🙄🙄👎👎👎👎 And those ropes for the tiller arms are waaay to thin , imagine what it would be 1/1 with heavy seas those shoestring like that would snap in a hartbeat 🙄🙄👎👎
Very cool how you got the rudder to work!

@ErnestoCarrasco I’m pretty sure I ordered it on Amazon.

Based on the larger ship builds you’ve done I thought this would be a larger ship
