Hi Roeland, It's just awesome looking at you modelling skills. I have attached a few shots of HMS victory anchor buoys and although I don't have dimensions, I assume that with a bit of scaling and comparing to the size/spacing of the rigging and ratlines, a fair attempt could be made to create one? goddo attached the following image(s):

Those anchors look good Roeland and the buoys seem well in scale. Brilliant.

Forecastle guns are now nailed to the deck - a tricky operation with all the rigging in place. Roeland attached the following image(s):

Another question - as per attached picture I noticed these proportions to be wrong on my model and several others on the forum. Some however managed to get this right? Did I do anything wrong or was it a matter of correct modification? Roeland attached the following image(s):

Luck rather than judgement I suspect. There are so many sources around for this, you can take your pick.

Busy making the ship's boats. I hope to add 2 scratch build 25 ft cutters. I could not find any plans so I based it on the 18 ft cutter; just a bit larger and added an extra support (on the right; one frame finished ; one still to be cut). I'm not sure where to get such a thin plywood so I laminated 2 sheets of 0.8 mm balsa wood; then reinforced with book binders glue before cutting. Roeland attached the following image(s):
