Here my first wooden model I made maybe 25 years ago.
Same sort of ship.

Hey, this is neat! Looks like mahogany, is that what it is made of?
If not, it does look like an open-grained wood, though. Another
keeper!

Its not mahogany, I don't even know what kind of wood it's made of.
But painting it with Boatlacquer ( I hope you understand what I
mean) the ship gets this darkbrown color.

I know what "boats" are and I know what "lacquer" is but I didn't know
that the latter was used on the former. I always thought that wooden
boats were protected by oil-based paint or marine spar varnish or a rot-
resistant wood like Teak was/is used for things like decks that cannot be
painted or varnished because they would be too slippery, so please expand
on the use of boat lacquer. Your last seems to also suggest that what's
on your very nifty model also contains what is called a "varnish stain"
in the United States. And, the very same processes are used on the
"woody" or "woodie" station wagons of the 1930s/40s/50s, such as
Chrysler's Town & Country which had Mahogany veneers overlaid with White
Ash or White Oak timber-line framing. These things had to be stripped,
bleached, restained and revarnished with spar varnish at least once a
year, sometime twice if it was a very raining season. Here is where my
knowledge runs out so I'd appreciate a boat and ship finishing mini tut,
please.

It was a litteral translation from Dutch, so I think you're very close with
"marine spar varnish"
Literal translations are most of the time misunderstood or have a complete
other meaning.

Hey, numbnuts, lacquer and varnish aren't even the same thing! Varnish
uses turpentine as its solvent while lacquer uses originally alcohol
and other very volitle and toxic substances but today more often
acrylics and water. If you're gonna lecture me on wood finishes, best
get it right, asshole! And, it is "literal", not "litteral".

Literal translations are most of the time misunderstood or have a
complete other meaning.

One needs to make correct translations in the same way one must be
aware of technical, engineering, physics, and chemical issues when
telling educated and experienced people they're full of ****.

sorry, can't. in case you don't know it, the business language of the
entire world is English, so get with the program or get left behind.
Also, keep in mind that you won't get any slack with your mangling of
my language, if you snooze you're gonna lose so either Shut The **** Up
or go away, but do NOT try to take me on and do NOT try to engage me in
verbal combat, or you'll be buried in FACTS intended to publicly
humiliate you so fast so so viciously you won't believe it!

There is no accent over the "u" in "your" and "alright" only has one
"l". Get a decent spell checker and learn to use it!

You'll either leave or I will help you want to. Or, you can stay, just
keep your mouth shut and don't post any pictures.
