Re: Newsboy Model Shipways
I had been leaving my parts in the brass black too long, it turns out. I was giving them a 2 hr soak time and they came out all crumbly/flaky. Recently I soaked for about 45 minutes and the part came out beautisimo!
Perhaps soak times should lengthen as the solution weakens..? We shall see, but for a realatively new batch the 45 minutes works well. If you care to make your own patina solutions: http://www.sciencecompany.com/patinas/index.htm

Re: Newsboy Model Shipways
I almost have all the wood-stuff done with the masts, spars. I have the bowsprit to make yet. I wanted to get all the woodworking stuff done before it got cold so I could move inside from the garage to do the rigging over the winter. I may have taken too long, central Ohio is getting cold already.
Perhaps a warm weekend will still pop up and I can get it all situated.
