I didn’t know this kit came with paper. But hey, just think about the result! It’s a really lovely kit.
@Grey74 the Seahorse Barque is clearly putting your patience through a full sea trial! The delicate black panels and paper covering sound frustrating, but your weathered pirate-ship plan feels much more personal than leaving it regal and untouched.

@Nita_Davis sanding the entire black sheet for a weathered finish is a bold and genuinely useful customization idea. Your offer to find the alternative sail method could also save a lot of frustration when the rigging stage arrives—thank you for sharing experience from your own build.

Oh I am excited to see how you create it to look more aged, though I agree with the paper part, it might be a bit difficult to work around it but hopefully it’ll all work out

It’s definitely coming along, even if slowly! I actually love that you already have plans to customize it and give it that more aged, weathered pirate-ship look. The printed pirates should make such a fun addition! And good luck with those cables when you get to them, I’ll be cheering you on through the patience-testing part!
