After a break to build a train back to this I purchased a book on rigging and realised doing it correctly was beyond my ability so I am settling for this (Looks better if you don't piont a camera at it)

Finished the dead eyes and stared the ratlines started at the bottom before seeing a post advising the it is easier starting at the top (Thanks for that saved a lot of trouble) never done ratlines before the next one will be better I hope
Finished the rat lines not great but for a first attempt i will live with it
fitted the top mast shrouds and forestay
I have fitted the bowsprit shrouds but not tied them off yet as i am not sure if they are in the correct place probably me but i am struggling with the drawings
Fitted the back stays there is a photo etch part provided for the block but after destroying two blocks trying to get them in i gave up and simplified it as best i could

Is the opening in center a cargo hold, with no beams? If it were that big, it would be hard to get men to turn the capstan with no support under them.
Hi Kurt
This is what is shown in the drawings I assume there would have hatches and I am considering possibly adding them on one side

Cargo have a big quatro hatch. Image from book David Antscherl’s, “The Hayling Hoy of 1759—1760”

Much better, just have to make sure you don't stub a toe walking in circles.
