Taking shape, but very confusing as the design is not the same as on the illustration or on the box

I used a tad of PVA wood glue on the joins and going to give the glue a good 24 hours to set and then I'm going to think about adding some kind of stain and wax finish to the wood

To be concluded...

I applied some wood stain, usually I would use a rag, but there so were many nooks and crannies, that I applied it with a paint brush and then wiped off the excess with a old sponge. I did this by little sections at a time as not to get an even coverage.

After applying a second coat of stain allowing it to dry in-between coats and after the final one, I then applied some wax with wire wool.

Even though this was going to be a basic model, nothing really detailed, I felt that there were something missing

So I decided to add some rigging using some brass tubing.

This is the finished result
