Thank you very much David and Michael, I think I`ll do some more ratlines the next days...... Nils -
Hi David, with the rigging its an ongoing question of "what must be done first" in order to still have access to the belaying points of all those running rigging lines. Thats also why I do the upfront scetches, to see early how many operating lines will go with the individual sail. The stay sails and spanker for instance are rigged for weather from port side. This means that all the square sails will have the weather from port to port-aft and must be braced accordingly Nils

Good work Lee, ist going to look beautiful when the portside planking is completed Nils -
Hi Burnside63, a very nice looking hull , you`ve been real busy with the planking. Are you going to plate the oldtimer hull, perhaps with rivet imitation ? Nils

Hi Bob, appreciate your comment thank you very much..... Why did you think that your schooner was bad ?, its a fantastic model Nils

Thank you very much Bob and Popeye, Your kind comments are much appreciated... because of all the extra and individual lines for rigging the sails there have to be quite a lot of belaying points that are not given by the plan, also the lines have to be placed, so they do`nt foul the braced square sails. It shall take more shroud cleats and lead thimbels than I thought it would Nils

Little update I did`nt have so much time the last days, but now I`m continuing with the mizzen mast rigging. the lower cross jack yard is rigged and mounted, and the smaller, upper mizzen Topsail yard is ready for attaching the topsail. Nils again, first an overview scetch...... The topgallant main stay sail is also mounted I am surprised how much finest dust particles have settled on the lower interior decks in all those months, will need to find a solution to extract that dust through the "open" port side. Once the model is completed I will have the glass case for dust protection the upper mizzen topsail yard is one of the smallest, but requires a full rigging for operating the sail sail check with the upper mizzen yard the crossjack yard is already mounted and rigged the weather side -truss tackle, just above the catharpin-rigging level, is loosened a bit to allow adequate bracing one side of the parrel tackle is still open until the yard gets rigged to the ship

thank you Crackers, I do`nt mind tieing the ratlines, at least if there is enough Access to do so, what brings frust is when by mistake the wrong end of the line is snipped off David, my wife always says that I drink too Little, but I`m sure she means water Thank you Piet glad you like it Nils

Thank you Popeye, I know these knots from my two tallship ratlines.....,must have been hundreds of them B.E., nice comment, Thank you very much, I would have liked to have such a fantastic looking taraffel (eyecandy) as you have created on yours, so I gladly return the appreciation of your work Thank you for your answer Bob, I have`nt used PVA on the knots yet, but I`ll give it a try Nils

Martin, thank you very much, Yes you are right, the first tied lines came on a bit slack, but then the learning curve set in...... Nils Jason, thank you very much, here again the little sailors are of help to find the propper vertical ratline distances in 1:64 scale Nils
