Cutting the reef points. This is a method I come up with.
1.I copied the sail template several times
2. I cut the shape of the "reef line" out of the paper.
3. I insert the template between sail and reef ropes so I can see the lenght and direction
4. I fix the reef ropes straight in correct direction with the tape.
5. Cover the ropes with diluted PVA glue and let it dry
6. Cut the ropes with exacto knife according to the template
It is little bit time consuming but accurate. Works quite well!

Hi, new member here.
Im into 1/700 kits, i m building a collection of around 100 pieces, half made already , others are in stock as part of my collection. You can see a part of my stock in the assorted pic.
I am thinking of building a nice wooden kit in the future but i havent decided it yet as seems to be a total different task. So i hope i get some useful tips and infos from the experts on this site
have a nice all.

Thanks EJ and Peter. I am giving this model to my son to put on his fireplace mantel as he bought his first house last year. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving there this year for the first time, so the next generation is stepping up, which is nice.
Thanks for all the likes too.

Gentleman, to the sewing machines! My premiere with the sails (luckily the sails are pre-sawn in the kit with the Bolt rope in place and they are very nice). I just wanted bolt rope to correspond with other running rigging so I cut the original off and replaced it with my own rope. I also did not like the eyes on the original. I think I made it more real, I hope.
Reef points: first row in place (I still need tu cut it to the lenght and shape it) but I have to say that I found something to be as annoying as ratlines! 🧐
I guess the only way to get it done is sit down and work! 2 more rows are waiting.
On the right is sail with kit bolt rope and eyes.

I agree with you Tom, I'm pretty sure it's there to hold the tiller when an extra pair of hands are needed on deck.

Thanks Fernando. This was a fun kit and much different than any other models I have done. It is now completed. Here is a quick pic but tomorrow I will set up the back drop and take some better ones. I still have to make the case so I will still have a few more entries on this log. Thanks for all the great advice and interest in this build.
One thing I forgot to mention, but anyone building this kit in the future you should know that the supplied line is very inadequate. I ended up making my own for mist of the lines and used four different sizes.

Thank you guys!!
Some more additions. I have finished footropes for spreadsail yard.
And start to adding ropes to the mast. Already There are backstays, 4 pairs of shrouds and spreadsail jackstay. I have also added the iron belts with eyes for blocks. Ropes are served in areas where interfere with mast.

I finished the main sail and attached it to the lanteen yard along with all the lines and blocks. I then passed the two yard halyards through the block at the top of the mast. I then had to seize two blocks to the end of the line for the yard halyard tackle. I will seize the tackle lines to the blocks next then set the yard to the right height and tie the control lines to keep it in position.
I am getting close to the end now. Once the yard is in position I will take measurements for the case. I should be starting to build the case by the end of next week.

Gaff is also ready. Last item to prepare before assembly is topsail yard.

Thanks Fernando. It makes sense to keep the tiller from flopping around. I am still not sure why blocks are needed except to make it easier to adjust the heading?
I have finished installing the shrouds and the jib sail. I was able to loop the excess shroud lines around the belaying pins a few times and used some Dulcoat lacquer to hold them in place while I hung an alligator clip as a weight. When I removed the clips the coils stayed in place nicely, so I don't have to make separate rope coils for these.
The jib lines all end at cleats on the deck, so after I tied these off to the cleats I brushed on some lacquer to hold them and later cut the lines at the cleats. I made separate rope coils for these and used them to cover the rope ends. You can see one of these coils on the port cleat in front of the mast. The other coils are still drying so not installed yet. I am also getting the yard ready for the main sail. I added the blocks to the yard and some of the sail furling lines. I have the main sail cut out and ready to sew the seams and seam lines so I should have that ready to go tomorrow.

I sewed the seams on the jib sail today and was pleased with the result. I then drew light pencil lines on the back of the sail where the seams are using a piece of manila folder material that I cut to the width between seams. I then used the sewing machine to sew the seam lines. Here is the completed sail.
I am really happy with it so now I will make the main sail the same way. I have also started rigging, first with the shrouds on the mast. I have the tackle lines rigged but not tightened yet. I also am in the process of remaking the single shroud on the starboard side because it was noticeably shorter than the rest.
Here is another curious feature on this boat. There is a tackle on the starboard side of the rudder, and just a line on the port side. I am really not sure why a tackle is needed or what this rigging is supposed to accomplish. If anyone knows please let me know. Maybe it is just a way to hold the rudder without having to man the tiller?
