Pic 93:    Only the mizzen yards to go!

The large square sails, if allowed to hang straight down under gravity, obscure the detail around the tops and crosstrees. I therefore opted for a semi-furled effect by tying two loops of fine white cotton around the yard and sail, and tightening it carefully until the required amount of detail was revealed. This also took off some of the sail's flatness and gives the model a better side profile.
