As I am almost finished with my Royal Louis, I printed a little tag "Royal Louis" where it used to be placed to every vessels of the Royal Navy

Hello all
I think I have finally finished retrofitting my Royal Louis!
Do you think there is anything missing? Next and final step for me is going to be folding some sails..

 

[WojtasS]

Awesome. I though you finished it, but now I see you only lack bowlines.

Hi Wojta!
Thank you for your reply. Sorry I am confused what do you mean by bowline?

Simply put, these are lines that pull the sail forward and help control its shape during maneuvers.

The picture is from Rigging Period Ship Models by Lennarth Petersson. It covers english 18pdr frigate Melampus. There isn't much of a difference between ships as its function remain the same, so you can use it as an example

Thank you so much! I will place them but I need to make them loose because all my sails are foldable
