The sails are attached to small rare-earth magnets, to help with storage, and give me options of furled or unfurled (I have plans to use her in-harbour). I need to think about rigging; despite storage issues, I might manage a few ropes. The steering oars are also attached with rare earth magnets, for storage purposes. I still have a bit of snagging to do, but the build is essentially done (which is just as well as I am very tight for time!).
Finally, a huge intercontinental thank you to Thomas Foss of Skull and Crown blog, who sent me the below resin cataphract liburnium. This is exactly what I've been looking for as the basis for a scout ship, or Rhine patrol boat, and I've already been giving a deal of thought to how I'll convert/assemble it.
Thomas also sent me some of his lovely Napoleonic cut ply figures, which I look forward to painting in due course!
