well guys. Here we are again after some years i decided to finish the model. Lots of parts are missing cause i had to move two times to new house. i had to organize to order some new lumber and rigging parts, i also laser cutted some parts my self. I modified the model according to Lenarth Peterson book ''Rigging Period ship models'' i'm in the phase of completion of the standing rigging so i am working on building the yards. Good times, the repetitive work of cannons and ratlines is finished. Here are some photos.

hello to everyone. i am thinking to give a try to make more realistic sails for my San Ildefonso i have the sails plans from the kit and scanned images from the book ''The Seventy-Four Gun Ship by Jean Boudriot Vol.3'' fortunately i know how to use photoshop, so i tried to resize the images from the book to my kit plans but i see a lot of differences to the proportions of the sails. when the bottom of the sail is 37.5cm the top is a lot shorter (no1 & no2)....so i tried to distort the sail from the book to meet the proportions of the kit sail..... i really dont know how to continue, if a leave the correct proportions do i have to make shorter yards ? should i continue with distorted sail ?? sorry for my English, i dont know if you can understand me well...
