Bloody marvelous Mark. 

You must have been a shipwrite in your past life. So clean, tidy and amazing mate.

You also must have been a bit 'knotty' to hava break from the rats.:D

Thanks Greg & Don. Rigging is not my favorite thing to do - very slow at it.

 I don`t know why the rope looks a little fuzzy in the last picture - it`s Chuck`s rope & there is no fuzz on it. May be an artifact from my cheapo camera. The first two pictures are a little blurry - they were taken in my camera`s "no mans land". Too far for the close-up setting & too close for the normal setting:(.

Thanks,ragove - happy to have them done:D.

 By the way,I think I forgot to mention the ratlines are standard Coats & Clark sewing thread & the spacing was done by eye.

Hi mates & thanks for looking in. A little more progress  made - I have finished installing the main & mizzen mast back stays & the mizzen stays. The crowsfeet at the mizzen top are also done. The shroud cleats provided  are really nice,but looked a little large on the mizzen stay,so I had one a little smaller that I used. I will use the kit ones on the other areas where they are needed. Just about time to install that fragile bowsprit & hope I don`t snap it off while turning the ship back & forth:o.

Another little update - I thought I would take a little break from rigging & add some nails to the wales as Ken did on his RW. The nails I used are from the railroad area of my local hobby shop. They are called track pins & the nice thing about them is they are already blackened :D.

Another little update - after re-doing the bowsprit mast ratlines,the bowsprit was set in place. The gammoning was then done & the rack blocks were made from some walnut strips & set in place. Finally,the bobstays were rigged to the stem & bowsprit.
