All looking good Walter, enjoy the ratlines.... BigGrin

.. How long they will take you will depend on how you intend to attach them, tied, threaded through the shrouds or simply glued to them. No matter which method you choose I'm sure they'll look fab when done.... Cool

.. Excellent work to date.... Drool

Regards

Alan

Walter

Very well done. You have a beautiful example of the Victory and all down to your time, patience and skills.

Not far to go now and hope the remainder of your build continues as well as it has so far.
