BTW Brian where the stays are shown going through the hull you could always attach them later by fixing a very small eye bolt in the hole.

These are easily made by turning a piece of thin copper wire around a pin or similar and cutting to length. On many ships this is in fact how the backstays were attached.
Here are some backstays on my Unicorn.

Well, if you pick a 100 gun first rate as your build you are going to have to make 100 guns

Looking very good though.

Wooden deck fitted and gun carriages painted this morning, and I must say I'm well happy with my Ultra A/B
