Interesting. This rope looks great, it's a whole new level of work. Top work.

Thanks, I'm still learning the process,but with every time I'm getting better.

So, to our business.

• I finished rigging the shrouds to the ship.



•I Started to make the topmasts and topgallants



• I made triple blocks, for the fore and main masts for the fore and main yards , instead of connecting one single and one double blocks as OcCre suggested in the drawings



• I made ropes for the stays of the three masts .

• And lastly i made corrections for the caps from British to Continental (only for the fore main and mizzenmast, the caps of the tops will remain the same) ,work in progress .


Now it's time to start finish the masts.

Cheers
Guy

You might have a bit of trouble tying deadeyes at different heights. Using a template for next time might help, deadeye always sets at same height.

Yeah, it's something i need to work on, especially with my ropes tension.
I did used some template but it didn't quite worked as planned

Not all, its fine, but might be better.
You'll see a problem on the first line of ratlines. It won't be level, so you'll have to adjust the heights somehow to make the first line look nice.
On Spanish ships, the ratlines began at various heights. Some were already at the dedeye's sling, others just above the sling, and still others were one higher, with a gap more than twice the height. Why, I don't know.
Here still it's okay, you just have to think a little about how to solve it. It's almost correct. I did both variants myself.

I will probably start in higher place then the dead eyes level.
I will try to think of something out
