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. And is any build not all the time solving problems ????? But that's what I love and I'm happy when it works out !! Can you ask some people to make a little room for me at your Granado ??????? @ Popeye, Thank you very much !! @ Pat, Thank you also !!!! Welcome at my log You are never to late, you are just on time .... I don't go anywhere and it will takes a time before she is finished !!!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
