New navigation lanterns

one of the navigation lanterns was missing from Kathleen and on close inspection the mounts were on the wrong way up, so to work with putting this right.



 The old lamp was plastic and looked it. The brass lamps only cost a couple of pounds and will need a little ageing.



The original navigation lamp was upside-down.


 The full size navigation lamp showing the correct way up.
I will leave the lamps brass as they were in the early 1900's


Finished model lamp, still to be weathered.


Actual lamp on the Kathleen and May.
