Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

I'm very disappointed. There is one nail near the middle left of the top picture (I think), close to one of the gunports but slightly higher, if you see what I mean, and it is a little bit off angle.
You are right, Richard. You mean this one that already caught my eye:

But I rather think Paul did that deliberately. We're not falling asleep and find everything be nice and neat ……. ;)SleepROTF

In the oriental aesthetic it is considered an affront to the gods, as the only perfect beings, to produce a work without an imperfection. Better watch out, Paul. There’s a lightning bolt out there with your name on it…

A number of years ago, I was commissioned to turn some porch spindles for an historic home (now a bed and breakfast) to replace some that had rotted away. The home was built in the 1700's by Dutch carpenters, and as the owners were giving me a tour, I noticed one spindle in the beautiful bannister of the main staircase that was upside down. I was told that it had been intentional and was the carpenter's way of demonstrating his imperfection in the eyes of God.
