Update 38
For the upcoming model builders' day, I need to pay a little more attention to the flute.
One issue I've been struggling with for some time is the uneven spacing of the deadeyes on the fore shrouds.
I tackled that first. It turned out that I could lower the deadeyes a little without too much trouble, so without too much demolition.
It looks much better now.
The next step is to apply webbing lines and extend the masts with a steng.
But that will come a little later.
Left: Old situation, Right: Current situation.

Jan,
Excellent build and thanks for the explanation of how the logs were hoisted into the cargo hold.

I started with knotting the ratlines.
And after a while I finished this knotting. One sailor has to test it immediately.
After finishing the ratlines, the “putting” have now also been placed. They still need a few more ratlines.
This is from the foremast:
And from the mainmast
I have also shaped and blackened the yards and I am now busy knotting the various blocks to them.
