Continue to put in place the sails. The first jibsail, the middle saty sails and the throat on the stern. I use o-rings for this sails and put all the threads for each sail ending them where the manual indicate. Using scissors is necessery for working,because now a lot of theads are present on the ship. And more will come....

Now is time for the lifts of the yards,that raise and turn the yards to right positon,according the wind. All of them must secure in specific place on deck, according the insturctions. A lot of threads, and the space for the hands limited. Extra carefull movements, not ot brake or damage other things of the ship.

Now i put in place the yards from the main mast and their halyards, that rase the yards up. Spar thread placed on the deck, in the place where the halyards are tiden. Now i proceed to the mizzenmast .
-
All the yards from the fore mast are in place permanent with all threads that they need. Now the work around the model is more difficult, because i can damage the yards working with other threads. I must be carefull with my arms. Now we proceed to make the same job in the main mast

Now i have put in place the stays,long threads from top of the mast to the free deadeyes, after i use most of them with the shrouds. There are 11 threads for the three masts for left side and another 11 threads for right side. I use thread 0.50 mm brown. Now all deadeyes are occupied.Is time now to put in place the yards that i have allready finish. Starting with the lower yard of foremast, put in place for each one, all the threads 0.15mm that the manual show.
-
Now we procced with the stays between the masts using thread 0,80 mm. A lot of work with blocks and eyebolts.
-
The mizzen mast is ready now and all shrouds are placed. Continue with threads between masts,according to the plans and number of thread.
-
I finish the shrouds of the main mast. I put the permanent base of the model and as seen in fotos the final height of the model is 95,5 cm . The length is 1m 20 cm. I start now the shrouds for the mizzen mast.
