I decided to rig the main topgallant sheet lines to pin 3 in the middle rack - probably one of the most time consuming decisions I made at this late stage - I had to use 2 x 20 cm long copper wires to get the rope around the belaying pin. Roeland attached the following image(s):

In between finalising the rigging of the shrouds on the starboard side I started adding more coils. Roeland attached the following image(s):

I took my first ship which I scratch build 30 years ago before internet days and placed it next to my current HMS Victory build. Please note the scale of the Beagle is about twice as large as the Victory. Roeland attached the following image(s):

Please not the scale of the Beagle is about twice as large as the Victory. Sorry not my first ship but I have no record anymore of the Santa Maria I build about 40 years ago. PS. The Beagle is waterproof as I had it in the bath tub.

Roeland,
those buckets.....and in fact the whole build....look amazing.
Can you let us into the secret of how you added the logo to the buckets? Maybe a close-up of one?
Thanks. Chris.

I used a uni POSCA paint pen, a white gel pen and brown fine liner on heat shrink tube buckets and than sealed all with Krylon UV archival fixative. The logo is not a accurate presentation but on a 2 mm something bucket it gives to the naked eye the feel of the real thing. Roeland attached the following image(s):

I also managed (with great patience) to belay the main sail sheet lines. Roeland attached the following image(s):
