That is absolutely shameful, and will never happen on this forum. I speak for everyone here when i say your Zeven Provincien is an absolutely marvelous build, one of the best. If anyone doesn't like you or it, they need not stay. -
Awesome job on the proto-bowsprit!
-
What!? How! Definitely a hellerism. They should be tied above the yard or at the actual last top, once again above the yard.

I have an idea that involves me stealing deadeyes from a different kit. I believe i have enough for this. Are round deadeyes okay? I figure it doesn't take much expertise, just a bunch of clove hitches. I will test this on the topmasts first.
-
Okay, how am i supposed to go about doing that? I am terrified to start.

I admit, i expected to use a lot more gold on this ship. The only gilded part of the ship is the swirly decorations on the lower part of the beakhead. If you look closely, you can see it in this image.

The lower masts, bowsprit, fighting tops, and aft boom are painted and temporarily fitted into place on the ship. I went to the hobby shop and got some less-than-stellar cleats, as well as some wire that will become hooks once we start rigging the lower mast fish tackles. Next on the list is to finalize whatever hull work has yet to be done, with the exception of the ladders as they come last, and then glue the masts in.
-
I would put the sheave hole just aft and up of the eyebolt to which the brace is tied. Maybe at the very aft end of the cap rail, and right beneath it. Belay it on a cleat, or better yet, a kevel.
-
Untie immediately. Rig the standing end of the braces to eyebolts positioned on the outside of the hull. Check my Galleon for now i did it.

I have even started gluing and fitting the lower masts. These will need to be painted before i can show them.

If you want, you could also check out my Mayflower build! You might like it.

The poop deck, bulkhead, mizzen lateen knighthead, belaying rails and kevels are in place. Next is the main brace sheaves and eyebolts.
