Thanks Chris,Ok @Daniel20 , here are some closer shots of the rigging and some blocks not yet installed. Including 1 ring ready for a block. I hope this is what you're looking for. If you want shots of anything else just ask.

It looks like you bent the block hooks from wire and then hammered them flat. Is that right? Rich (PT-2)
I just bent brass wire. No hammers needed
. The wire is stiff enough and I think the results look quite nice.
I have a HP sprocket printer. Prints about 2” x 5” prints on peel and stick paper that requires NO INK. No idea how it works but is great for this kind of small colour printing.
I agree. You have done a lot of careful work with your rigging. RichI just bent brass wire. No hammers needed
No ink? Interesting.
So what is the paper or media that you put in to do the printing???? Rich
Now the mystery is solved by printing in an inkjet printer with this photo paper. Thanks Rich
Nope, sorry Rich. That paper is specific to the sprocket, which has NO INK NEEDED. The technology is built into the printer and paper. It’s kind of like a thermal printer but somehow activates colour components in the paper.
Sounds like a different type of printer, not ink jet, which I don't have. RIch
Happy to share.Great to see your build Chris and to see another Bluenose being built! Your model looks like great and I am sure there is a lot of info that can be shared - as you already have done most kindly!
Now I see what you are talking about. You're right - if I had to paint these signals flags on aluminum foil by hand, I'd use that gun from previous picture
That's a neat look on the deck planking. I like it!I realize I'm just blasting out my build but I might as well get it done and catch up to my current status. This next set of pics are for the deck planking. I left a big opening under the main cabin in order to hold the battery case for my lights I will be installing. Stupid me did not run the wiring from the stern to the bow before the deck planking, which caused me some grief later.I also made sure to add extra support for the masts and supports for the deck around the cabin and hatch openings. I've noticed some plank the entire deck and just put the hatch covers and things on top. This just didn't seem right to me as I wanted all my hatches and things to be able to be opened. I even made some stairs going down from the fore deck companionway.

As you can see I did not follow the traditional straight planks with the jagged edge board (I forget what it's called) by the waterway. I just planked from the water way into the centre. I kind of like this look. My next build I'll go the other way

Here are the deck pieces I made. Including the stairs I mentioned above. I used mahogany for all the tops, I liked the darker wood colour.

Here is the final deck after light staining and a satin finish.

Thanks Paul, it was completely unintentional as I really had no idea how planks were supposed to go.
I agree that the look turned out nicely and I also really like it. 
The tones in your decking have a great contrast but also a blend. Nice. Rich (PT-2)
