The y axis markings allow one to draw a series of closely spaced parallel lines. I have a rule that works on the same principal. Glad to oblige, Mike!

Bowlines (literally 'bow lines') normally lead forward, at least in English practice. The line for the fore course leads forward to a block hooked to the aft side of the bowsprit cap, then aft to belay at the forecastle. The main course bowline also leads forward. The English belayed it at the fore topsail sheet bitts forward of the fore mast. In your diagram it appears to belay inside the bow bulwark, presumably on a pinrail. Hopefully this is of some help!

I agree that the worming looks a little thick. -

The gap in the stock was for drainage as an air gap - not for shrinkage. Looks good. -
I go away for a month and you've completed the model, Ab? Well played, sir! Interesting reading your comments on gold leaf vs gold paint. I recently had the same issue and felt that real leaf was too reflective and gaudy. Also, the detail was lost. However, the client insisted that the dolphin stands be gilded. Bling!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
