Guns and then some
There's still a bunch of things to model and print; blocks, gunport lids,hearts, bullseyes, fairleads, crew, anchors, and a lot of other stuff.
Brace Winch Concept
I really liked the modular approach, and simple design. I had already decided to use winch-drums turned vertical in Macedonian, to better handle slack in the braces, AND the tacks and sheets of the course sails.
The drawing shows my plan to control the fore, main, and mizzen tops'l yards, and the fore and main course tacks (fewer yards controlled than on Nurnberg) and a 3D model I made to check clearances and fit.
