You have the later blue kit, with sails, i have the red kit, so will have to make my own patterns (eventually!).You are doing very nicely.
You can see my captain is not pleased with the progress on his Hussard!ROTF

You are doing very well, looks great ! Do not worry about mine, i am working to original 1860's plans, not to artesania's, so it looks very different from any of the kits ! I have recut the entire hull shape and changed the scale to 1:55 in order to use the kit wood, and i have added a lot of blocks under the deck edge to anchor shroud lines and bulwark supports to. That's just my methodology. I will probably do a build log when i have finished my present builds.
 
French ships of this period generally had davits abreast the rear mast shrouds. Le Hussard carried two boats in that position and a third , smaller, on deck, in front of the cookhouse .
