Hi All Thanks for looking in, final post now as she's already in the finished build gallery - http://forum.model-space...amp;m=150149#post150149
This is just to mention the last couple of stages - basically all I had left to do was the davits, the lower studdingsail booms, rudder chain, flags and mainbrace rigging. The pics below show the davits and booms made up, the method I used to get the flags to drape naturally - I soaked them with pva and left them to dry under weight. I didnt use the signal flags as they seemed to be over-scale when compared to the size of the flag lockers. No to decide what to start next stevie_o attached the following image(s):
