I am currently rigging my HMS Snake model, but I can't find any information on the stays. There's a dotted line on the running rigging sheet, but nothing before. If anyone has built the kit, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

If those are the only rigging drawings you have, it would appear that the drawing which shows the standing rigging is missing. The missing drawing is in the background in this photo.
Thanks for the information, I will contact the manufacturer
I have just looked over the plans again. My sheet 4 has a different model code on it. I guess that's problem. Thank you DARIVS ARCHITECTVS for your help

Sounds like they slipped the wrong drawing in for you. They should be willing to correct the mistake and send you proper drawings.
I have been in contact with them and they said they will send me a copy of the missing sheet. I will post a copy here when I get it
A copy of page 4 came through the letter box this morning. Lots to do now
Problem solved - now the work can start
Most definitely
