Progress with all the rigging on Gretel ,only one mast but hell that’s a lot.
There is one thing that’s irritating with the color of commercial rigging thread?
Many beautiful models loose a lot when rigging to white or to black,it’s difficult to have a realistic coloring.
Use tar for the standing,that gets a more brownish color,the running I try to get a more grey white color.

Is that Hansen on Gretel?

Good looking build, and yes, with one mast still lots of rigging. But normally no ratlines on shrouds!
