There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Would you mind if I did a little work on the rigging? What you have now is quite far from the real deal, so to speak, but I don't think I can explain it properly.

A sailed warship that's hardly larger than some missiles today :D

An interesting and noble effort.

@Thiel, I don't mind, this is my first attempt at sail so I was not expecting to get it first shot and I would love to see your version!

@Mihoshik, Thanks,she is very much on the tiny side

Sails down

And with topsails

The exact shape of the sails are based on a generic rigging of the same size. I'm not sure it would carry top sails, but since warships tended to carry as much cloth as they could get away with I think it's likely that they did.

The rig you have drawn is a fairly modern rig that, as far as I'm aware, weren't used until fairly recently.

If you've got good enough references, you should try and draw her in FD scale (22px=1m) Looks good though!!!

:o WOW Thiel!

Amazing and this rig looks much better! Like you said, my rig is fairly modern but yours is just breathtaking!

@Jabba, references for old Aussie warships are rare as hen's teeth unfortunately :(

A minor update. I'd forgotten the back-stay and the chain plates.

15 years of practical experience does give me an experience when it comes to sailing ships.
