More progress: I've added the yards, replaced the boats, slightly adjusted the bowsprit, and done half of the main shrouds (because it's easier to correct any mistakes before mirroring them).
The yard sizes and positions were mostly guesswork based on the wooden model, but I think they're about right.
As for the boats, I took the model from the Centurion to use as the longboat, and made slight changes to the smaller boat. I didn't change the paint schemes, though that can be done.
My only query is about stowing them properly. Below is the best compromise I could come up with for now:
I think the wooden model has the seats removed from the longboat to allow the smaller one to fit inside it, but I didn't know if that was a suitable solution. Am I right in saying some of the seats are meant to be permanently fixed for other purposes?
You'll also notice the spare yard I've added. Another one is stowed on the other side as well.
I'll add some ropes to secure those and the boats once we're happy with the layout.
Finally, here's a close up of the shrouds, including resized deadeyes (and those metal objects beneath them that I don't know the name of):
The deadeyes will be painted black when both sides are completed. I know there are missing futtock shrouds as well, but I haven't forgotten them.
