THanks Vic
It's those rigging that go from mast to the ratlines
Not sure how to attach those to the ratline? How did you do that? Just a drop of glue or did you make seizing?

Are you talking about the line that starts at the mizzenmast and breaks into three or four lines that attach to the main shrouds?
 
Between the fore mast and the sprit mast, I had a stay separate into four lines which attached to the sprit mast shrouds. I twisted the four smaller lines together on one end and seized them to the thicker stay. I didn't use any glue. I tied them the ends to the shrouds under the ratlines. Most of the time I didn't make a hard attachment until the tension was adjusted a bit. I don't know if that's what you're talking about. Here's a picture of the sprit example:

Also, on the fore and main course sails, instead of just rolling them up, I used the clew and buntline and reef lines to pull up the sails. I think I pulled the reef lines first until they were all the way up, then the clue lines, and, finally, the buntlines. I think that's the way they're done on the real ship. I just didn't go all the way to tie the gaskets up around them. I just wanted the deck to be seen more easily.

Next will be some additional standing rigging for which I need to do some research and may ask a few questions to the community.

Cheers

Good morning Gilbert. Beautiful work. I see what El Capi is referring to re the furled sails, however should you choose to leave it exactly like it is, it is simply stunning. Cheers Grant

here you have some. when you look at the main sail front side, you will have 3 lines coming from the bottom ege- outer BUNT LINE, INNER BUNT LINE, and Cleve line-side Fig 1. all these go up on the sails to blocks on the yard and later the mast. finally down to a pin rail aft the mast. on the backside, you have one coming from the outher edge of the sai Clewline. the oner a block half the yard then another block beside the mast then down to a pin. in Spanish we called this apago (take ) Viento (wind) .Hope this will help.P.S. You are one of the few, whom I will make a comments

Thanks Vic
THis is indeed what I was talking about
Let me have a deeper look and follow your guidance
More soon
 
The serving on the sprit area was clumsier than the ones between the mizzen and main, but I don't have the ship here to take pictures of it. It's on my daughter's triangular corner fireplace mantel 900 miles away. I like what el Capi showed. That's basically how I did it, but the sails are a bit too thick. I used a cloth conditioning spray to wet it down and provide some holding power.
