Big Jake,
What about the foc’sl companionway hatch and the windlass and pump assy’s forward of it? I haven’t found pics of this area. My inner bulwarks are light grey, and cabin walls are tan. Some pics. I have show the masts painted tan with black around the steps.
On the tryworks I added some strip to make a slight rim around three sides as shown on Mystic’s site and I am considering removing the aft skylight and redoing it.
The comp. hatch sides were tan and the top was light grey as were the tops of all cabin and work areas. the reason for this was it was easier to keep clean, you need to remember that when “working a whale” the oven was going and there was a awful amount of smoke pouring from the two stacks, whichj were black also.
The windlass pump assem. was flat black. The triworks are brick red with a back wash. the front iron doors are black as they are in the open position and the inside would be burned black. the “two holes” on top are black, the fuel box at back is brown. I’am going to tri and tank a picture of mine today I have everything painted but the trrip on the boat stays anf the rub rail on the outside of the ship.
