    great rigging Christian. When I secure a knot I\m using Pattex glue for plastic builds. They are in that red bottle. Works perfect because there is an iron tube on it . You can glue secure. Picture below. Sjors

    After a few re-do's ( cut a shroud instead of a ratline at the fore mast ) I have make the lower shrouds and the ratlines. Futtock staves and catharpins. I must say, after I cut the shroud I have remove all of it at the foremast and re-do the shrouds. They are better then the first time. So the re-do was not lost time. Only use a little more rope...... I can talk and talk but I think that you wanna see some pictures. Here they are. Sjors ( When you click on the picture, you can magnify them )

    Thank you all ! Also for the likes....... @ George, I think forward @ Robert, Thank you @ Mark, I give the rigging spiders special food... A lot of rope !!!!!! @ Bill, Thanks !!! It looks easy when it is finished. But at the time you are playing with the rope, there are words what you don't want to see when you write them down !! Or when you take the scissor and you cut the wrong rope !!!! Then it's not that easy .... @ Elijah, Thank you very much ! When all the masts and spars are on it, I need a ladder to take pictures !!!!! @ Ulises, I'm sorry to tell you my friend, but you are to late !! Everything is done at the moment. The shrouds are done, the lanyards are finished ( only the lower shrouds of course ) the platform deadeyes are on it with the shrouds that goes to the futtock staves. The futtock staves are finished and the caterpillars are also between the shrouds Next thing to do is tying a few thousand ratlines !!!!!!!! @ Bob, Thank you.
