I'd have a go at keeping the foremast as a square-rigged yard, but the mainmast I'd make into a lanteen-rig yard, then attach a bowsprit as best as I could to the forecastle. Have the sails furled and possible some string or thread for the rigging (but possibly not as it'd interfere with moving figures). Would possibly make a small base and model some 'sea' to help hide the bulges where the wheels were located. Maybe try and find a large ships lantern to fit onto the circular part aft. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm interested to see what you do with the model.
