The model is meant to be 1/12 th full size, so to help gain some impression of this I looked for a figure to get the proportion correct. Those available from model boat suppliers didn't seem suitable but a search on eBay showed a range of dolls house figures.
DOLLS HOUSE DOLL 1/12th SCALE MODERN MAN WITH BEARD RESIN FIGURE | eBay
Although sold as a "Modern Man" - it does look reasonably realistic, once his white boots were repainted.
The plan is to use two sail winches, one for the mainsail and the other for the jibs. I want to design and make these so they can be removed and refitted once the deck is in place, using a hatch in the centre of the deck. To check this will be possible a simple template of the deck was made in card.
