I am happy enough with them, but as I tension the shrouds I feel the thread on the bottom shroud is being pulled up, I am also trying to put a bit of tension on the shrouds to pull the mast over a bit,

I am now tying the threads to the second section of the main mast, My mast is leaning over slightly, so I am rigging out one side with the hope of pulling the mast over, There is not a lot in it, I put a plumb line on the the main mast from top to bottom to check it trueness.   The only thing being the point at the top is virtually floating, But a plumb line is a plumb line, and its a good guide. I have also put a plumb line on the wall at the back of the ship, to line the mast through with the eye. I am going to finish one side, inc the ratlines, and this should help rectify the trueness of the mast, But as I say there was probabally only 10mm in it from top to bottom, I would only need to knock the hull 1mm of the level to make the masts plumb.Mo Mo

Can't believe how long it's taken to tie all the ratlines to the main mast, anyway all three sections done, I made 2 half hitches to each knot, thats a total of 2304 half hitches, The model is so tall, I had to stand to get the second and third lifts done, I found that back breaking, Anyway all done now, next is to do the foremast, May be moving house shortly, that will put a hold on the ship for a while.

Good job there MO. She beginning to look real grand. Well done. To assist with the rigging on the Vic, I hijacked a small coffee table (shhhh swambo doesn't know yet)so I did not have to stand. Just a thought. Rgds, Hans

Beautiful clean build, the rigging is impressively neat. The endless knots I remember well, I found trying to do at least a few every night helped and time as it does passes, every knot tied is one less to do.
