We are moving forward, only 13% to put before the end of all ratlings, I added a second pair of backstays :
Port backstays of the main mast, the color has been adjusted to the walnut color with that of the other shrouds :
Good news : I closed the RATLINGS with my 3106th double knot, I had to resist, it was long 
When finished the backstays, the chapter of standing rigging will be out, photos will follow

Back stays main mast (All ratlings done = 3106 knots ), I've quasi finished the standing rigging of ship :
All the standing rigging being finished, I offer myself a small shipyard break, which I think rather well deserved :
Some pics in general view after finished standing rigging (not really easy with such a great size of model) :
