[WIP] Matterhorn

[Mr. Townsend]

I wasn't quite happy with the first iteration so here is Gen 2 covers.  Very pleased with this second version.

Draft Version:

 I had the idea to add canvas covers to the ships boats.    They need some ropes to tie them down and some seam lines sewn in to sell the scale but am curious for thoughts on the idea.   I remember seeing similar things in an episode of Hornblower but you typically will not see covers on model ships.

That's a good detail I've not seen on a model before, I recall watching that episode of Hornblower recently. These look the part, seem a fiddley thing to create.

The Matterhorn has a lot of black netting around the deck to stow hammocks.   It’s been hard to see in many of the photos but it goes from the waist all the wall back through the quarterdeck as you can see in the photo.   
 

This small section of netting holds 5 (maybe 6) and this is the smallest section of them all.   I’ll be doing this for at least a week to fill them all out.
