Yes on picture with flash. But on my desk looking to it, you unsee it. The rope is very dark. And some mistakes you must keep, they're lessenserie for the next time.Can't unsee the Z- and S- shrouds

So true, the present day cameras (in our phones) are just too accurate.Yes on picture with flash. But on my desk looking to it, you unsee it. The rope is very dark. And some mistakes you must keep, they're lessenserie for the next time.
Yes I think the same. And there are so many little details in the rigging, just by looking to the pictures and discover. This is fun by itself.very interesting detail - maybe specialists like @Ab Hoving , @mati.n or somebody else have more detailed knowledge about this rigging detail.
I am pretty sure, that they way changed during the time ......
With 2 tweezers, just like a surgeon. And yes it is difficult and ask a lot of patience.Sweet Lord Jesus! It's hard to rig the damn thing in reality, let alone on a model. I don't know how you guys manage to do this. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I discus this with Ab somewhere. He told me the best reference are the originaliteit models or paintings. Herman Ketting was using the info he had in that time to write the book and make the plans. There are a lot of things he changed by the knowledge he had in that time.or Prins Willem style presented in H. Ketting book
Are they called lower catharpins? Indeed never heard about them. I like them on the model. You can only see them on the main.In term of lower catharpins... hmmm there is no real evidence on any plans of Prins Willem where are they shown to be fitted.
Ok... they are visible on the photo of the model, which you posted... but I never seen them in Batavia, De 7P, Willem Rex, Two Decker...
...but if you like them.... probably no one will ever question them
You're right about this. Shoot mee why I put them there, I think from drawings I have or just a big mistake.Also your shroud trucks are to low on the shrouds as far I can see on the photos. Look's like you have them at 1/3. If you look at the PW plans they should be around half way between futtock stave and upper deadeye. Adding another set of trucks will look odd... so either keep them as you have now or just cut of and rig it bit higher.
