Is it possible to tighten them a little? I know it's pretty labour intensive but the end result is worth the time.
Rick
Yeah they are only tied at the moment, no glue. I wasn’t sure how much sag they should have

Did you glue the mast in place? I've always left mine "free" and that's allowed a certain amount of adjustments to rigging tension. One thing I've noticed, the foot ropes for the main spar look to be hanging a little low. Remember that these would only be low enough for a man using them to lean over the spar at the waist, so really probably scaled down from around 1 metre.

Hi @Rick01
yes I epoxied the mast in, following what was described in Mastini’s ship modelling simplified. I did have tremendous difficulty trying to get the stirrups on the foot ropes to be even lengths.
Rigged the bobstay the other day, no photo yet as my back started spasming when I was doing it. Another occasion where the plans where the plans were different in different locations. Needed a double block where a single block was specified earlier.

Upper shrouds are rigged.
had to get a little creative with the ship end of the bowsprit. If positioned sitting on the rail the angle of the bowsprit was pointing down, well as clashing with the pinrail. So it was glued under the railing. An extra pin hole was drilled in the rail as the pin directly over the bowsprit clashed with the bowsprit.

Mike,
This recent thread has some useful information. It shows 9 min stop motion video of how a ship kit is built... 'ropes' start appearing at about 4.55 mins in ...
... and on YouTube.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SuPPsyck2M
It;s a great watch, and a superbly made video.
Richard
That’s a great video

Figure 4 almost has it.This is a light weight yard and as such, I'v a lift going from the yard tip, up through a block lashed to the mast then down to a belaying pin on the pin rail surrounding the mast (obviously this refers to each side). Which pin you use is dictated by ensuring the halyard doesn't chafe on any other lines.
Rick
Thanks Rick.

Attack of the dodgy instructions again. In the process of attaching all the blocks to the spars and it appears that the top gallant yard is suspended by magic. From my limited research I think there should be a pair of lift blocks at the end of the yard as well as a pair of brace blocks at the ends and possibly a halyard in the centre. If I add these I’m not sure where the lines would run or where they’d be belayed.
