I cut out metal mesh pretending to be a glass window, and made my own "gold" mesh for doors and windows. Here is a process how I made it. Pictures shot with camera flash are not so good, giving out much more shiny effect and changing the real color a bit than those taken under the daylight without a flash. The ship on the daylight is not shiny at all.     [ Edited Wed May 21 2014, 09:26am ] | ||

Glad to know that you could find similar replacement since I am not familiar with products available at your market so I was not of a help to identify the type and the brand of stains. Belfry finished. moving further   [ Edited Wed May 21 2014, 01:54am ] | ||

Upper deck guns should be smaller and lighter than main guns on the lower deck. The witdth of the upper deck is smaller, and actually supplied guns are - just too big for the deck. I ordered smaller guns (29mm length ) 8 pcs, for the upper deck. Waiting them to arrive.  Oversized upper deck guns.... should be replaced by smaller soon  [ Edited Wed May 21 2014, 09:32am ] | ||
