SR update
Bow deck now fitted and finished. Cannons rigged with 2 different sizes of eyepins due to the small scale size. Cannon balls and carriages fitted, along with the kit details buckets etc.. have added my own after sales barrels.
Mid balconies planked and finished. Have added eyepins for rope railings.
Kit details of buckets etc added to the Main deck below also.
Quarter deck fitted, deck details added along with eyepins to the gratings. Cannons again rigged along with the Cannon balls and carriages and kit details of buckets etc..
I've also made and fitted the Side gallery deck planking, as I cut the Architectural features out to give it a more 3d authentic effect. Quite pleased the way those came out and didn't take much time to do, made from coffee stirrers and some left ove 3mm lime wood planking.
Next up working on the officer quarters housing, I will be planking the insides of thes to give a more authentic look if looking through the bk stern windows.
Not sure I will be able to add much as in the quarters themselves as these being dived into two be a corridor doest leave much room for anything at this scale.
All little bits to be done and more things popping into my head, ideas etc.. it's all time consuming but patience is the key.

Forecastle deck, Waist balconies, quarter decks, poop deck, Officer's quarters and Captain's cabin all finished.
Quarter galleries both fitted with planks and stained. These obviously will be fitted nearer completion of the rest of the ships architectural features.
Now starting on the Stern balconies and boats.

There is a wonderful source that you can check out. It is a book. Anderson published The Art of Rigging in the Age of the Spritsail Topmast. It will be a big help. There are also quite a few books about rigging during this era.

Hull construction work has now finished.
Stern is finished along with all architectural features including the lanterns and some added ones. Boats and cradle are finished as well as the channels and rigging eyepins for the start of the rigging.
I am pretty pleased they way she has turned out, considering I didn't really have a vision of how it would go.
Next up will be working the wood to make the masts and yards so it will stand up to the rigging tension.
