It also happens that the progress of the work reveals an error, like here the spacing between the two fore stays :

An interesting error
I usually transfer the dimensions of the plans onto the model using a compass
By inattention, I noted the distance between the stays on the 1/96 plan, and directly reported
this measurement on the 1/72 model, that's explains the spacing of 36 mm instead of 48 mm
It was when removing the simulation about the spritsail yard that I noticed that it was too high
The best thing is that after making such a mistake, the look of the stays seemed strange to me
Conclusion : when you're in the moonlight, it's better to watch a stupid TV film than modelling

... it is better to watch a good TV film, or go to sleep, why watch stupid movies?
Because there aren't many others, and sleeping... puts you to sleep

Late pics of the current state of the Saint Philippe shipyard , awaiting the next delivery of my order for material :
Comparison between the two ways of representing the fore main-brace :
The problem with the first one (apart from the anachronism) is that it's also
set on the topsail braces and the topgallant, which will be out of the reality
The classic representation is wrong with the single stay, more right for 1693

Real simulation :
Summary draw of the final assembly, which allows both braces to be into the same vertical plane :
On the Saint Philippe, which does't have any forecastle, the ropes go down vertically on main desk
