Futtock-shrouds of the fore-mast, at scale 1/72, it was'nt a very simple process to get a rather realistic look :
The shrouds are served on their upper part including the head-rigging, except the first one, which is all long served (source : Boudriot)
The futtock-shrouds of the main-mast (my two pics needed more light, they seem a little too dark) :
Other evening pics of the same work :
Mizain low mast done, there was twenty-six futter-shrouds, I'm happy to close out this (difficult) step of rigging :
The euphroes (four, five and three holes from fore to mizain masts), at 1/72, I can omit tensioning pulleys :
