I like your methodical approach to building this model! She looks great, thus far! 
Thank you for the kind words it is more jump from one thing to another when i get stuck than methodical
The rudder is proving more trouble than expected the phot etch hinges are far to long (that is a simple fix) but when folded the gap is about 1mm too wide so i am
considering the easy fix and putting a filler strip under them or looking for alternative hinges
Stuck some decorative detail on the head the laser cutting is quite amazing instant result with very little effort

Finished the decorative detail on the head it is a bit rough but i can live with it and fitted the timberheads
I have fitted the channels for the deadeyes there is no guide to where they should fit so i sanded the mast and used a line to put them where they seemed sensible
When i fit the deadeyes and chain plates i don't know if the chain plates go down vertically or follow the angle of the shrouds so any advise would be appreciated
