So....what to do....leave them on or remove them....what would you do....after seeing the next pictures?

I've never seen anything like this on drawings. I would remove them.  But, that is my non-committal opinion.

Why not provide a few loose ropes like in the picture below.

Nice work.

If you have the time a couple of questions:

Why did you use white for the rigging?

Which colors did you use and what manufacturer makes them?

What wood oil or stains did you work with?

Thanks,

Why did you use white for the rigging?

• A stupid beginners mistake  (I got this kit for free (but without rigging) and had to improvise

Which colors did you use and what manufacturer makes them?

• Tamiya matte colors

What wood oil or stains did you work with?

• matte varnish, the color is old oak

Do not know much about dromons.
But the best option seems to be to lower the forecastle. And a horizontal deck looks the most logical.

Greetings Patrick

Great work 

Small update,

The inside is painted and the waterway is ready. This work me took more time than expected.

Thanks for following.

Mark, search MSW for Golden Hind. There are a couple promising build logs, the one below has numerous links to informational sources on 16th century ships.

 

 

Thanks Vossiewulf,

I have been working on this ship for a few years now.
Nobody knows what this really looked like. And most of the "detailed drawings" of this ship were actually drawn a few centuries later. Probably it was not a real warship but an armed merchantman.
Paint schemes are the choice of the builder. 
None (brown wooden hull), red green white (English) Yellow red (Spanish). Nobody can say that you're wrong (or correct).
In the years that this ship sailed over the oceans it will probably have been repainted a few times.
And if you are thousands of miles from home, you have to paint with what you have found from the Spaniards ...

What is reasonably certain :

Below the water line it is almost certainly white (the white stuff)
Inside of the gun gates certainly no red (ordinary wood color, brown)
Wales certainly not black, that came into use later

Greetings Patrick

Great work.

With all builds of the Revenge, the triangles and stripes on the hull are always beautifully painted. But I have never seen how this is done.
How do you do this?

With my Golden Hind, I had to cut masking tape for hours before I could start painting 

Great work Steven
Very interesting and instructive

Looks great.

Very nicely done

have a question. The plans call for nailing the first layer of planks on ( the hull is double planked). Is this considered the best way to do it? If so, should they be glued also and if so are the nails temporary? I am wondering, because the second layer of planning is very thin and unless the nail heads are sunk, I worry they may make bumps in the thin outer planks. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Be sure to use glue to fix the first layer. And where necessary, nails are usually used.
The filler blocks is also a good idea.

And thank you for the link. 

greetings,

I m hopping this will not create major issues later on

Why not move the hole of the ladder a little to the left. Now this is still possible.

Welcome to MSW and good luck with the exercises for walking again.

Welcome to MSW.

Very good for a 40+ year project 

update,
The copper sheeting is ready. The rudder now has 4 hinges as it should be (The model had only 3 hinges).

The railing has been removed again, it was not really what it was supposed to be.

Tested with a metal color, can be okay.

to be continued, thanks for following

( Shipyard closed in the summer, on hold until october, november 2019)

Hello,

Today i started with the installation of a waterway on this deck. With the following models as examples : Batavia replica and the san Juan whaler.

First I paint the inside painting (had to do this much earlier, that would have worked easier)

All parts are first painted and detailed before assembling. Fillerblocks are used to make the horizontal parts easier to glue.

In the meantime, a second (plastic) shipyard has unexpectedly been started up. This is why this shipyard sometimes has a delay.

This was going to be something quick and easy. But has become something like a semi scratch.

Thanks for following

Great work.

Where is the cat ??

We once visited the Tirpitz muzeum in Alta norway.

On the site of this museum there is an interesting film with a Tirpitz in grey color and various other color schemes
