She is one of those ships where the longer you look the more detail you see. Excellent restoration work John.

Another small update.
Although there seems to be little change on the model I've actually done quite a lot. I've done a lot of work on the pin rails, getting them more in scale and making new ones for the fore end of the poop to match the ones that were actually on the ship. I've also starting fitting the wooden cap railing around the poop (only the easy bits so far); made and fitted the new railing for the fore end of the poop - yes, I have the photos to show that that's what it was like on the final voyage and I've also got the basic bowsprit rigging and the jib stays rigged.
Sorry for the especially poor quality of the bowsprit image, but I was in a bit of a rush, having remembered to take a couple of photos just as I was about to put the model away! 😑

The 'Duchess' continues to move ahead, although it's difficult to see just what has been done as I'm completing deck details and correcting small items along the decks at the moment.
In the first image below you can see that the ladders from the poop have had their handrails corrected and they have been moved outboard to their correct positions, the fittings on the top of the donkey boiler house and the water tanks have been corrected and the gangway door has been cut. There is now a water pipe running along the port side and down the front of the poop bulkhead and the first section of the new wooden cap railing has been fitted.
It the wider view, the loosely coiled lines hanging over the side are the whips for two of the hoisting yard halliards, the winch drum ends have been painted and cargo runners fitted and, almost impossible to see, the winches have been turned around so that they are now facing in the correct direction.
There is a lot more small detail like this still to do. Once the new poop railing is installed I will need to fix the donkey boiler house and water tanks and finally work out the run of pipes between them and then get on with the cap railing.
