An excellent result, Eberhard!
BTW, 'floaters' are possible at any age but, as you mention, they get ignored by the mind after a while. Annoying, but harmless.

I understand that moving the clip adjusts the angle, Keith. I usually use a piece of flat scrap of suitable height resting on the sanding surface to tilt the piece I want to taper. Of course, that means moving the piece parallel to the scrap. Your method eliminates that necessity.
And I second the motion for varnish!

The bulldog clip is a nice hack for taper sanding!

Well done indeed, Matiz! I really like the way you've displayed the guns and anchors on the baseboard. Congratulations on a fine model.

What type of ship and era are you most interested in, Frank? Also, kit, semi-scratch or fully scratch built? That would help define the question.

Coming along nicely. The slot for the lion figure needs to allow for the two-way taper of the knee of the head. It is not slab parallel sided.

I believe that breeching rope was made from previously used line that had already been stretched.

Yes, Richard Endsor's excellent books are from the 1670 to 1690 period - about a century earlier. Look at some of SeaWatchBooks' offerings that cover the 1760 to 1790 time period.
There were excellent articles on 18th century ship construction by David White in Model Shipwright years ago. They appeared in issue numbers as follows:
On Traditional wooden shipbuilding: 47, 49. 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63
Understanding ships' draughts: 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58

Concerning the low/lack of bulwarks on the quarter deck, there would have been stanchions with man-ropes along the sides there.

A synthetic substitute is the obvious choice to avoid any problem!
