Shrouds.  And I thought chainplates took a bunch of time and repetition. Oh well, audiobooks are there for a reason. 
Also, what is with parts missing in kits?  I’ve read this numerous times in the forums so it is obviously not just me. I’m down a couple of anchors, lots of eyebolts (which I learned how to make myself, so there), and a couple dozen deadeyes to start.

I’m gonna call this one done. I didn’t add sails but am pretty happy with the rigging. Overall, I’d say it came out ok for a first try on a ship like this. Lessons learned: CA glue is so dang shiny, my local hardware store has beeswax, ship directions are sorely lacking. However, this was a great learning experience and I’ll be doing another one soon.

you might get the urge to add more after a while😁, it i a difficult model for first attempt as the instructions are not only lacking but not accurate! not bad at all for a first attempt (nice looking diorama in the background too).
