Here I show a small tool for editing the frames. The idea came from another model maker; I don't want to adorn myself with strange feathers here.

The correct name is "yard", yes? Not "frames". Sorry ...
Here is my first yard - it has no sail.

So, now we are in the current time. I started putting the staysail.
I hope the pictures explain better what I did specifically than I could with my weird English ...
And the captain makes sure that I do everything right.

So, with these pictures you are up to date. And now I work a little bit more on my ship every day, and I will report here regularly.
Bravo for this superb HMS Mercury!
Also, bravo for having the courage to present your boat with the sails furled: it's a difficult and ungrateful exercise to be successful...
That's what I did on my Victory, and I admit that I had a few bad tries!

Welcome back, Bonden!! Nice progress! I understand due to COVID19 the crew including Jimmy is sent home...

Great work on sails and use of your yard jig to assist.
No no, Jimmy is the only one still working. I'll show you tomorrow.
In Germany is Lunchtime now. 
Hallo Bonden,
I am happy to see, that you are well - and still good looking
Very good rigging job you have done so far - great details - and clever idea with the sail-jig (Hilfsvorrichtung) !!!

Looks like he is checking out your sail furling work, from his level as an experienced seaman!
@all: Thanks for the nice comments! 
Another staysail was installed today. To do this, I had to solve a stage that I had already attached. But in the end everything looks fine again.

Today, Sunday, a big fleet parade was here. (It's the Victory from my girlfriend)
Great appearance, they both look gorgeous! Does the Victory also cardboard make or it is a different kit?
That is a wooden kit from d‘Agostini, 1:86.
