Fantastic job. David B

Dan, what I would do is bring the mast down to about .125 then I would drill the holes for the sheeves. Then Using sandpaper bring iy down to the final dimensions. David B

Put on the sails but leave them furled. This will show off the hull and at the same time show the detail for rigging. David B

On your treenails have you thought of going in from the other side? That is what I do with my drawplate and I am able to shave off very thin pieces. down to a number 80 drill bit. Run the skewer through the same hole several times shaving it then going down one at a time. David B

Looking good. I will will be interested in your paper caulking. As I never had good luck with it. As for the cannon port, take a good look at the plans and they may be able to give you an idea of what to use. David B

By putty people wre talking about a filler plastic wood wood filler etc. When simulate trenails because of the the scale I work in I would just drill the holes with a #80 and the scrpe and polish the deck. Saw dust will fill the holes and once the deck is sealed you can barely see them. I have seen maritime measles and never liked them much. David B
