Many thanks Dave, as you know plans are one thing, even good ones, which unfortunately Billings aren’t, as they tend to oversimplify their drawings. I found it very beneficial to actually go onboard and look at the section I was working on, that way I could look at the detail of it. The only thing I couldn’t of course check on was the running and standing rigging as it’s been a few years since it was fully rigged, and it will be a good many years if at all before it is, due to the ships central core crumbling. However, there are of course many good books on her rigging which I’ve fortunately managed to acquire. The only slightly annoying thing I’ve found is that after I finished my model, they’ve since decided to repaint the yellow ochre another colour after during some restoration work peeling back an old section of a bulkhead and finding the original colour, which is more of a pale terracotta or some might even say pink.
