thanks all for the comments.. i am doing the chainwhales and because i am painting my build do any of you think it will look odd if i leave the brass unpainted on the supports i have aged the brass supports by blackening them then rubbing the black off this has taken the shine off and looks like there old..i have already left the eyelets unpainted on the masts and on the deck,so really i wanted to know if visible brass will look ok on a painted victory

I think the Brass looks good against the black. at the end of the day if you like it do it. BigGrin

PS wife doesn't look at this site, if she did I would have to do the Zero under an alias!!Mellow
