Yeah that's what I'm thinking Dobbs. Just a shame to ruin the lower furled course on the two masts though. Maybe cut them off the spar and fill the gap with putty. Since I've had so much time in between shipyard sessions, I've been thinking a lot about how to improve these models. The nice hull detail is what's keeping me at it. I've even thought about just scratch building everything above the deck.
Oh, and thanks for the rep Dobbs. You haven't even seen what it is going to look like yet! It might be hideous
