aydingocer got a reaction from Thukydides in HMS Sphinx 1775 by aydingocer - Vanguard Models - 1:64 - Revision #2
Build day 159: 1 hr / Total 329 hours
Photo 841: With the below, Mizzen stays are complete (except the Crowsfeet which come later).
Photo 842: I noticed the instructions for how to loop the thread around the masts too late for Mizzen stays. I had made them my own way (check the photo above), though not looking too bad. I hope to follow the instructions for the Fore and Main stay collars.

1,5 hours of more work and fitting of the yards are complete. Now I can tick the 4th item in my checklist:
Edit: I have Crossjack Sling also in position. So, 5th item is also ready.
✅ Fit masts
✅ Rig lower shrouds
✅ Rig upper Shrouds
✅ Fit the yards (do not rig them yet)
✅ Fit the crossjack sling to the crossjack yard (at this point for accesibility)
Rig the mast stays
(Omit Main Stay Tackle and Fore Hatch Tackle at this stage)
Add the Crowsfeet to the mast tops
Rig the back stays
Rig the yards
Fit Sheets and Tacks
Fit the Main Stay Tackle (but do not lash them yet)
Rig the Yard Braces
Fit the ship's boats
Lash down the Main Stay Tackle and Fore Hatch Tackle

The order of steps recommended in the instruction manual slightly differ from the numbering in the Plan Sheets. I have now studied the plans and instructions once again in detail before moving forward and came up with my updated reference task list. I don't want to make irreversible mistakes at this moment. Hence I will go with this order:

Thanks for the advice. I think in this case I will sand the lower part to thinner than 3.8x3.8 mm, maybe 3.2 x3.2 or something and slightly enlarge the mast cap hole also if I need to.

Installing Crossjack Yard and Main Yard. Below I share the process of rigging the thread structure for mounting the Main Yard, as good as I understood from the plans. Last two photos show the yards in place with their thread fittings. I used nails here, too, to mount them strongly in place.
