I am also interested in this topic
The Mary rose looks to be a good source of information.
look here on page.80searching further 🧐
And found some more
The mesh is about 10cm
The rope is (roughly estimated) 1.5cm

Made a few 1/72e scale military kits from Hobbyboss
They were easy to build and of good quality

Your build is fantastic! great job no matter how long it took. On the white rigging and sails try using a strong mixture of tea placed in spray bottle and spray a fine mixture on the sails and rigging while wiping dry the exposed wood. the Tannen in the tea will darken the sails and rigging enough to allow a great build to shine. I have used tea in this manner to color/darken sails with no ill effect on the material.

Thanks,
I had actually already thought about doing this.
Perhaps with diluted paint (tamiya colors diluted with water / isopropanol) dont now yet.But before I do anything about this
I first have to try this out on some leftovers from the rigging. -
Nice model
Great work with the stretched sprue for gap filling

Update,
The outside of the forecastle is ready. The doors will be made later and a ladder will be provided later in the castle itself .
A tricky part
Tricky part is ready, painting
Saw at the right height (and dust prevention with tape)
Work in progress
Ready
There is a proper tool for every job.
A file is not a chisel(I learned this in the technical school when I was 12years old...)

No worries.
This is going to look much better then my first idea -
Thanks Fabio,
After searching through my documentation, I found that Steven is absolutely right. Going back to the beginning of this log I came across Matthew Baker's drawing. The sides of the fore castle must be as identical as possible all around. Wales, symbols, figures they have to go through in one line as much as possible.
So first i need to remove some pieces.
And then start to rebuild.
2 doors are provided with "sufficient" passage height. Parts are first pre-painted as much as possible. But, here and there some area's will have to be sanded and repainted.2 Dry fitted parts
I think i am back on the right track. Thanks for following

I am probably too late with this. Sorry.
If you paint the deck that is under the grating black then it will look more like there is an "space" under this grating.
So, just paint the piece of deck under the grating black. The grating itself is not be painted black.Ps,
If you do not like this yourself. Then you should not do this.
This is just free advice.- vossiewulf and BETAQDAVE
