Thanks, Robert. It was my lazy attempt at sheathing in need of careening.

The hull was primed flat black, then after masking the waterline a coat of hammered bronze (copper) from a rattle can. After that base coat was dried, a very very light dusting of olive green (again, rattle can).

Gotta do something to sharpen up the waterline. Construction halted until I feel up to tackling the rigging.

I like the effect that you achieved on your hull. Would you be kind enough to share your technique used to create this look? Many thanks ! :good_job:

Too-Slow schooner (7 kph) fitted out by a private investment group with a single rifled 24lb gun (probably a pivot, as the Antebellum slavers were armed).
Waiting for a 24lb pivot gun, standing and running rigging. Currently berthed on a bed of Joe Frogger rum cookies.
