Nice, but you should turn around your fore sail. And your main sail is too high.

Very nice.
Personally, I think that sails in the scale 1: 100 (1:96) shouldn't be sewn. The thickness (pitch) of the stitch is completely off the scale. I prefer sheets drawn with a pencil.
It's a very nice little model and congratulations on its completion.

I also have a simple suggestion for the white underside, if you allow me. Take a block of wood of the right hight and place a pencil on it horizontally. Place the model on a firm stand and draw the waterline around. Usually the lowest part of the flat tuck is a little bit below the waterline, just like the broad part of the rudder and on the front side you can start close above the protruding part of the stem. Mostly these ships lay a little bit deeper at the stern, so the keel was not exactly parallel to the waterline.
I hope I was clear.
Good luck

Thanks for your words and your advice. I have stuck to the ShipYard plan in building the ship and in materials found on the web, paintings and similar models. As far as the sails are concerned, they are the first that I have made and I ride or rather that my wife has made.
I didn’t know it was a Shipyard product. I thought you scratch-built it. I know this model is based on a Chapman drawing, but he advises a sail with a small gaff and a boom, not a standing rig. I scratch built the model some years ago. Must have some pictures of it somewhere.... Ah yes it is posted in my thread: my small paper fleet.
Yes. This is Shipyard product. I built it many years ago and don't have pictures. Below the same model made by friend of mine, Patryk K. alias "Penguin"
Don't get me wrong. I am not criticising your build. You did a great job. I think it is always good to question what kit makers offer and change what you don't like. They are just human too, you know. Just thought you wanted some advice...

Nice show case! Home built?
The quality looks nice enough for me. I wish I knew a company in Holland making such nice cases. I could use some!
DO YOU HAVE A LINK. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE DON
Yes I think its very nice well done.
I have a favor to ask if you are still active (I'm a newbie) could you possibly post a pic. of the deck just in front of the windlass I'm trying to restore an old Dutch yacht Prince of Orange or a pic.of the plan or am I too late.
Many thanks
