Good to see you back Walter. Very nice update, fantastic build. I guess you're doing the bare yards version without the sails? Happy building! Laszlo Finished builds: HMS Victory, HMS Victory Cross-Section

Finally the rigging is done! All mizzen ards were rigged.
Now it`s time for a cleanup (securing and cutting all the ropes) - then on for the anchors and the Davits.
I´m still a little bit scared of the flags - don`t know exactly how i will manage to make them look realistic!
Any tips?DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter
