The flag lockers and holder hides the wiring going to the lanterns. Photo shows side ladder, entry port and canopy, and fenders. The gunport lids are made of walnut on the inside and yellow satinwood on the outside.
Eye pins and hinges are from the original kit.
The ropes on the eye pins is .5 beige and knotted the same as tying a swivel to a fish line. I then used cement for fly tying rather than super glue. I used the fly cement as it is absorbed to the core of the thread and dries fairly fast while leaving the thread supple. I coated the thread fully as this made it easier to insert the end through the hole drilled in the ships side. Completed port doors at the bow.
