Hello Greg,
it was a difficult task for me, cause I do not have exact plans of the Royal Katherine, so I have to improvise from time to time. My solution is based on Vale painting, Van de Velde drawings and museum models from that period.
Royal Katherine on Vale painting:
Here was my main inspiration - the model of Saint Michael, there is also the bowsprit out of centerline and in the beakhead bulkhead there are two doors:

Of course, I am not always sure with the solution, so please do not regard my opinion as relevant. I am only an amateur, but I learn and want to improve my knowledge.😉
Best regards

Thank you for your comments, dear friends.
Druxey is right, on some ships from that period you can see the bowsprit located outside the ship's axis but its forward end is at the centerline.
For example HMS Prince:
I admire wooden models and their builders a lot, wood is very beautiful material. I also tried to make some wooden models but finally stayed at card/paper ones - it is much easier and enjoyable work for me, and I have found various ways how to improve techniques to achieve better results and get closer to the appearance and solidity of real wooden models.
Best regards,
Doris

O.K. my friends, I will add others.😉 You are right. Thank you for your opinion and advice.
BTW, there are also seats of ease on main channels - just here:

I have just placed two seats of ease on the bow. Perhaps there should be other two pieces in middle section of the grating as indicated in drawings of HMS Lenox. I also continue with surface finish of the railings.
Kind regards,
Doris

Dear friends,
I am glad you like my tutorial and it is useful for you. Thank you for your comments and kind words. After drying I started to place decoration on model, it is attached with little amount of glue - I use medium dense Super glue (industrial quality).
Here si the result, decoration on port is almost finished, the pics are in a higher quality, so enjoy them and have a great time:
Kind regards,
Doris

Before gilding I always try to attach each piece of decoration on the model to check whether it suits well:
Gilding the decoration - I use golden acrylic paint:
After gilding I relocate the ornaments to clean paper, where the paint dries. Soon I will bring other pics from the process, where you can see the final work.
Excuse my unsightly hands, they are sore from hard work I did last days.
Best regards

After baking the mass hardens but remains slightly flexible. I carefully separate each piece of decoration with a small sheet of paper or using a thin blade, but it is often quite easy to separate decoration only by bending the wax paper.

Hello Doris,
As ever, Katherine is a dazzling display of ornamental wizardry; a true feast for the eyes!
I notice your tree-nailing pattern alternates every other frame. This is something that Dan Pariser had researched for his Queen Ann’s Revenge build, and a pattern that I adopted for my build. I wasn’t sure whether it was necessarily correct for Soleil Royal in 1689, but In the absence of more concrete information, I went with it because I like it.
Do you have other more specific information about this nailing pattern? Whether it is specifically English, or more broadly in use throughout Europe?
Just curious.

Un-freaking-believable!!! Hats off!!!
Could you tell us what book is in the pics, placed in front of your model?

And here I continue with bolts and treenails on the port. I have a nice feathered friend, although he sometimes likes pulling out the metal bolts.....😊

Started my first steps with CNC machine. Still a lot to learn, especially 3D modeling, but like the challenge.
After a few basic projects I started with most difficult part of stern decoration. This is no. 3 in row- still not
best and need some improvements regarding 3D shape and machining parameters... Learning...learning...
