Another excellent reference is "Historic Ship Models by Wolfram zu Mondfeld..
 
It should have some details regarding the rigging of the type you are working on..
 
Browse through some of the excellent build logs, and click through to the rigging parts.
 
Trying to take you through this, question by question, is going to result in a virtual build log, using diagrams and
technique that has already been provided.
 
Here is a good start from a log I suggested to you earlier..
 
 

Ok so the roockie is at it again ! Im getting ready to rigg my masts on the Santa Maria for the very first time im not quite sure how to and where to start i need you guys to hold my hand ! Any tip or trick i need to know anything i must do that is not on the plan ....mind you all the plans ar'nt that great ! 

Standing rigging first i.e. shrouds and stays then the running rigging and I find working from prow to stern is easiest order otherwise you tend to be trying to work within rigging you've already installed. Pre assemble as much of the mast and spars as possible off the hull then start by stepping the lower masts and standing rigging then the next level of masts etc.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
 

Make sure you complete each step as you go. As after installing other rigging lines it can be hard and fiddily to go back and finish areas off.

Welcome to MSW André! Great to have you with us. It sounds like you have a full ship yard of projects ready to go so I wish you happy building and look forward to seeing your work!

Ou au Quebec te trouves-tu je suis de l'Outaouais j'aimerais bien et je me sentirais previlegié de pouvoir voir ca de mes propres yeux ! 

The next build.
 
Before to begin the construction  with wood, I want to have all the necessary information I need for the complete build.
 
-I do not want to have to do extensive research
-I do not want to draw plans
-I do not want to begin in 5 years
 
My prefered activity is to build and I want to concentrate on this particular aspect.
 
V4.0       for the forth time
74           I will build a 74 guns
1/24      I will use the biggest scale I can manage. For this one 1/24 is 8 feet long. This is
                about the maximum I can easily manipulate. I would have love to build even at
                a bigger scale like 1/12 but I do not have all the plans I need.
 
Jean Boudriot offers me everything I need. All the required information  is available in 5 books, not 4 but yes 5. I am a lazy person for this time, I will not draw the frames; JC Lemineur did and I will use it.
 
So, I have all what I need to begin :
-all the paper I need (the fifth book is in the mail)
-all the tools I bought tools for the last 30 years
-all the wood I need, at least for the frames.
 
I did build  1 version of the 74 with exotic woods. If I add the price of all the exotic woods used, you would not believe how much expensive it can be in these quantities.
 
Traditionnally, in Europe, they use pear wood  for the frames and boxwood for the carvings.
In my country, here in Quebec, there are no places to buy these woods and anyway it is too expensive for what I want to do.
 
Here in Quebec, one of the most stable wood we have is cherry wood. In addition the properties 
are similar to pear wood except for the grain; cherry has pear has not. For sanding both are identical. As a bonus, at least for my taste, I love the smell of this wood when cutting or sanding.
 

Bonjour Complex, welcome and be prepared for great experience.
