Thans Grant, it was part of my daily exercises post-hearth broke LOL! 2hrs per day !
Returning to the hobby time for me. There are pics for final standing rigging.
Symetry was difficult because of the lack of eyelet's position precision. But, the thread quality was really and obstacle for me : not enough surface softness and to high stiffness rending the thread manipulation difficult. In fact, high friction let my loops difficults to form or thight or redo. Threads were in polyester from Caldercraft. USeful for long line, but otherwise not easy at all.
Scaling of the thread is in between the requirement and those of AL stuff. Remembered my surprise when purchased these threads and found they were not in scale compare to there nominal size.
So, I am happy and ready to continue the yard.
Note: remembered that I work from AL kit and AAMM plans.

IT Will take a long ropewalk and gallon of wax
no need to make those, I can buy them in the store. They sell those in a box of 200 counts, which should suffice...
Just for giving some new : I progress on the sails sewing and on the HMS Fly hull. I will post picture soon.
Hi, I made some advances on my sail. More sewing to be done for boltropes, etc. You will find a pics to compare the AL one's with mines. Hope mines are better LOL!. I put also pic for micro gauge. Cheap one's but seem's sharp. I am in reflexion to purchase flexcut straith micro chisels too.
In the waiting of Ropes of scale rope for my Belem boltrope, I finally purchased two strait chisel and 1 skew chisel from Dockyard tools for future uses. I also bought at 50 % sale on Amazon.ca two bottle of brass black also for future uses.
