More progress.  Both masts are now built. However, I think that I shouldn't have fully built them until the shrouds were in place, but that's how you learn.

 

Big question that I am struggling with now.  From here, do I add the shrouds and standing rigging then attach the yards? Or is it better to add the yards then standing rigging?

 

I am finding that the instructions are not 100% clear on this.

As per my Facebook post, I'd personally finish the shrouds and ratlines before anything else. I'd make sure all the blocks that should be under the fitting tops are in place. 

She's looking great.

Thanks Jobbie.  I have started rigging the shrouds and am happy with how they are looking so far. 

Thanks again for the advice.
