I have decided not to provide the model with sails. However, all running rigging is shown.
Most yards are now hanging.

Completion is near. Yard's and mizzen rod hang. The covers on the gun gates and the flagpole on the stern are still missing.
When the model is completely ready I can make the closing photo series.

Looking real nice Andre
The next project will be the Willem Ruys made of cardboard.
Ab Hoving inspired me at Ever considered to scratch build from card to choose this material.
Because it concerns the first time building in cardboard, I chose an existing model from Scaldis to familiarize myself with this material.
If I like it I will then venture on a 17th / 18th century cardboard sailing ship.
I will keep a log of the construction in the section SOS Build logs from paper/cardstock.
