Nice work on those ratlines! They look very good. Just out of curiosity, in what situations do you use those files in the background?

I used them to file small pieces of wood, tight areas of the ship, brass, soft metals... etc.

For example, I used them to fine tune the gun ports.

Done with the ratlines. I was on a roll last night and ended up working on it until 1a. Rough to get up this morning at 5a. :)

Here is the result.

Running Rigging DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is time to make some Rope Coils. It looks like it is going to be a 'million' of them. 

 

After that, I will work on the 2 anchors and name her. 4 Girls at home so this is one will be named after my wife.

Working on the anchors...

I have to finish up the rigging to the timberhead and the buoys.

 

The end of the build is getting near... :)
