Hi Grant. I will try to correct it as much as possible. I have made a small sketch how it would look like and like the result. Maarten was right and it will be worth the extra effort. It will probably take about 1000 extra nails, each side:cool:. And will give the impression of an organised chaos.
Sorry for pointing out and increasing your workload ROTF
 
To increase the workload further I can also imitate the metal bolts for the wales / knees etc..

I will be working on it for years to come. So 2000 nails extra will not make much of a difference, timewise.

Hard to imagine it took them only about 8 months to build this ship back then (December 1664 - July 1665).
 
I went further nailing on the starboard side under the wales. When that is completed I will add the extra nails as Maarten suggested.
However, the weather was fantastic today so it would have been a shame to stay in the hobby room and above that I wanted to do something different than sticking nails into the hull. Time to pick up something else in between.

This afternoon I made the nameplate that will adorn the stern. I copied the form onto a piece of wood, used the bandsaw to cut out the shape and spend the afternoon in the garden with this piece of wood and a some files.
The individual letters will be made later; too small to try to make them in the garden. For this I will need my lamp with magnifying glass.
