Steel is my go-to source for about 1792 and beyond, but for 1787 Lees is my personal preference. Your model, your choice I have little doubt there were variations at about that point in time as it was a transitional period. It is great to see your rigging so well done!

I couldn't find the book Lees on the RuNet.

На самом деле, Андрей, у Стила есть железные кольца в верхней части мачты. Как ты так лопухнулся-то?!
Actually, Andrey, Steels has iron rings at the top of the mast.

Good eye Iutar, I should have enlarged and looked at this.

Ну, восстановить кольца и сымитировать их видимую часть наверху не составит труда даже на установленной мачте. И не такое правили!

Well, restoring the rings and simulating them on top wouldn't be difficult, even with the mast already installed. We've fixed worse!


Я всё ещё надеюсь, что Андрей возьмёт волю в кулак и выкинет из модели весь шлак, что так щедро напихал туда Крис Уоттон. Как минимум, уберёт всю эту шляпную травлёнку. Модель отличная у Андрея, я верю в него, Андрей может сделать это.

I still hope Andrey will pull himself together and remove all the crap Chris Watton so generously stuffed into the model. At the very least, he'll remove all that silly brass photo-etched detail. Andrey's model is excellent, and I believe in him; he can do it.
