Amazing what miniature washers and push pins. Can be turned into fire hydrants! The Brooklyn has four of them 2 port 2 starboard! your also suppose to use a plastic bead. But drilling the beads proved futile. As they would brake in half! Note: The dumas instruction call for drilling. The four beads that came with the kit! I tried but they were too brittle. And they boke in half. Forget the beads just use the pins and washers. To make the fire hydrants! But, If you want to try and drill the beads. You'll see what I mean!

Handrails are now painted! Decided to paint all her handrails black. It'll give a good contrast to the colors. I've chosen for the Brooklyn! Next will be her main cabin deck! Huh, got to wait for the paint.....😤 Attached Photos - Click To View Large |

Main mast and flag staffs are now completed! The kit comes with a sticky back plastic looking flag. I'm using it for now! Will order a more realistic flag in the near future! Fire fighting ports on smoke stack. Have been painted red to give them contrast! You'll notice the white band on the pilothouse roof. That'll be used for when I tape up. for painting of the roof. the roof of the fiddly deck with also be painted as well! Oh, the Captain's cabin will need painting also.....

Went to the local Walmart today with the wife. She needed some things for the kitchen! Look what I found at the check out! Now can't I use this to solder?👍 Some joints on the hand rails to the Brooklyn! I do have a soldering iron and a pencil torch. But, I think this butane torch lighter. Might be better for some soldering joints! Attached Photos - Click To View Large |

Today I worked on the main cabin. I put the port lights in place. The mast is completed as well! The port and starboard lights need to be assembled! My good friend Cormorant. Had sent me some LED's awhile back. I'm going to use a red and green LED. as they are brighter than the one I have! Oh, I had ordered some slide switches from radio shack. They sent me gigantic switches! Not what I want to use for the LED circuit I'm making! Attached Photos - Click To View Large |

One light done! Decided to work on the forward main cabin light. I'm using tiny wires for this. Don't know what gauge it is! It's about the point of a pencil. A very sharp pencil! I still have three more lights to do. But taking my time on them! Attached Photos - Click To View Large |
