For some ambient atmosphere inside the cut out I placed on each level a curved acrylic mirror - seems very effective when shining a light on it. Roeland attached the following image(s):

Congratulations Roland how lovely she looks, what a beautiful build you’ve done on her. And with the sails as well she looks so impressive. You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished. 👍

There's now some more progress on the cut out. Still have to do the 18 blocks and rigging to the middle deck guns and some figurines before I can get everything in place. Roeland attached the following image(s):

Today I managed to fit the lower studding sail booms on the port side both for the main- and fore mast. I also added extra support to the yards via the burton pendants for the hoisting of the launch. Roeland attached the following image(s):

All of a sudden I realise I'm about finished - perhaps a couple of alterations and a display case but in general it is all there. Roeland attached the following image(s):

I din't like the water transfer on the stern so I made some brass letters from 0.2mm brass - CNC engraved and cut out by hand. Roeland attached the following image(s):

Starting to experiment with a brass gun stand for the model. So far I turned the 2 guns. Roeland attached the following image(s):

I had to remodel the guns stands as I first had to cut the slot for the milled brass brackets other ways the guns broke off at the weakest point. - slow progress but getting there. Roeland attached the following image(s):
