Chinese Junk Ship Update!

[Comis80]

I know this is probably well overdue but I thought I would update you all on the status of the Ship I posted about in August, things have been going well and I have managed to prove the model back together without needing glue: it’s designed to be able to slot the different pieces together, it’s quite ingenious. I did decide to go over the main body of the ship with Micro-Crystalline wax polish just to help protect the wood but I avoided putting it on anything with paint or not made of wood. I’ve really gotten into reading about the subject of Chinese junks and I’m actually writing a paper on it for school.
A big thanks to everyone who helped advise me on how to navigate this journey! I couldn’t have done it without your help
Here are some photos of the junk as of now:

I’m yet to start adding the sails and rigging it seems like it’ll be an entirely new challenge any advise on assembling sails?
