I hope that after oil covering the result will not be worse.

Greetings dear Jamhacv71.
Tools can be acquired, each craftsman has his own minimum, but the amount of free time for our work is crucial.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything about painting, since this is not the strongest side of my skills, so I don’t use paint, I try to get by with colored wood. The black and yellow color of the sheathing is made of chemically dyed hornbeam. Brass, if necessary, is also blackened using special solutions
When marking the hull and frames, it is imperative to take into account the thickness of the hull panelling of the ship, so that the finishing hull panelling would correspond to the contours of the ship, if this is not done, this would entail a lot of inconsistencies that will no longer be possible to eliminate. I wish you inspiration in the construction, if you have any questions, please contact me, I will be happy to help. My best regards.
Actually I tired some black wood dye stain from home depot actually and it works out great. For future builds I will look into purchasing black dyed wood just to skit this step all together. You are right about the tools, I purchased my table saw and scroll/band saw this year. Like I said this is my first attempt at fully customized build. All my previous were kit starts with customized items. Last year I started making all my own ropes which made a huge difference. Time is also another factor, I do have to cut some corners due to time. I am only 41, wife and kids, medical field, ie-no time.
Kortes thanks for the information and support.

Thank you very much for your reply dear Alexander (I hope I'm not calling you by a wrong name). I learned a lot from your build logs. Thank you for your sharing.
When i started making models, i was about your age. And what is interesting, my first work was also the modeling of Royal Caroline of the Mantua kit.
That was a very good start of your modeling career.
Your "first work" was already very good quality..... well done

Your beautiful start in Royal Caroline was a sign of things to come as we are witnessing in the current model, well done mate
Good morning Kortes,
Your first model is already a feast for the eyes. Le Favori's hull looks fantastic
