G'day Karl, in this photo the two circled lion heads look like the ones that go on the end of the cat beam for the anchor,

Hello Neptune and Uwe,
many thanks for the notification.
You are both right, it is indeed here to Cathead figure.
My mistake reading the plan drawings.
Regardless of the eight figures I lack the Speigatts / water drains.

Hi Karl, what a fantastic carving. I carved my figurehead myself but I see I still have to practice.
And why not carve it yourself? It is fun to do.
wonderful work - I can imagine the 260 hours work on it
Hello Maarten,
your figurehead looks very good.
Unfortunately , I lack the talent / ability to carve such a work of art.
I would not like to disfigure an otherwise beautiful built model with a
messed up/ bad figurehead .

Nice work! Which tools do you use? Rotatory tools like Dremel, Proxxon or similar?
Hi Jose,
Yes proxxon with small milling bit and diamond grinding bits. I posted it in my blog.
The dimensions of the carvings made a modification of the windows openings
and gun ports are absolutely necessary.
My mistake in the frame construction or the finished size of the carvings,
no matter it müsst be changed.

The sad part of the game. 
Was it a window only, or also window / gunport combination? Maybe the window was to be opened inwards ?!?
Means the bird has to loose a wing - poor "goose"

Hello Uwe.
All window openings and gun ports had to be shifted appros 4mm to the bow.
No big problem , but annoying , already fixed.

Karl, can we have a photo how you fixed it? I am interesting to see.
Final assembly of the carvings after the reconstruction work
on the window openings and gun ports.
