With some of these kits the instructions can be a bit vague and it has taken me a bit longer to understand what goes where with sails/rigging. The Victory seemed more straight forward but I think this was mainly due to the excellent instructions I have read the instructions with the "Intersting" translations and by drawing what I think they ment I have finally completed the Mizzen mast, sail and rigging The Main sail I will need to reattach to the Spar as the alignment is wrong, but I think that one is down to me Onward and upward Pictures attached GilShapley attached the following image(s): Current Build:-

Hi Gil.
I had the same problem myself, those coloured arrows don't really stand out against the pictures and like you say the instructions are alittle vague. You're really coming on with this build now, it's looking very tidy.
Happy building

Looks great Gil, very nice work... .. Problem with building something like this after the Vic is we were truly spoiled with with the quality of the Vic instructions, they are probably the best I've seen..... Look forward to your next update.... Regards Alan

With these smaller kits fingers like knitting needles and not my sausage fingers would be handy, particularly for the rigging. My baptism of fire with the Victory rigging has taught me that I can tie knots with two pairs of tweezers (one in each hand) Mind you a good dollop of patience is also required  Current Build:-

And Finally we are there. The rigging has been challenging, the pictures supplied with the instructions are too small and only give a general idea of what should go where. Fortunately I discovered that this kit is also available from Deag and there are downloadable PDF instructions for the build which I found useful.

A very nice end result and i like the fact these kits comevwith pre-made sails as that is a nightmare of a job trying to make them from a large cloth sheet. Happy Modelling

Great work Gil, she is a lovely little vessel isn't she. You certainly made short work of building her. Getting a PDF download of the build instructions was a good move on your part, and the final product is a beautiful little model fit for any display case. A credit to you. Well done and look forward to your next project.
Happy building
David
