Model Ship Update: Spanker

I think these updates might start coming a little faster now. The second of the eleven sails is now rigged up, the spanker. Also added are two windows for the captain's mess (I think it's obvious that it's just pained black behind the frame). Cutting out the trim for the window was tricky without doing damage. I may end up replacing some of this trim later.

Just to switch it up, I'm trying to get some pictures from some different angles that look like they may actually be taken from deck level, hence the last two pictures. I think I'm getting better at coiling the lines. I'm glad I decided to do it this way rather than just tie them off. Though, I'm still a little disappointed I had to glue down the coils making adjusting the rig not possible. I can also see I need to do some varnishing on the quarter deck - you can see the rough spot in the last picture. There was a glue spill here that I sanded off.
