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
