Wow! that's is beautiful.

Thank you for your kind remarks. It is starting to look like a ship.

Starting to look pretty wonderful, Michael. As I have said before - rigging is your jam...

Thank you Paul. Your evaluation is well received and highly valued.

Absolutely beautiful work!

Thanks Andre. I think your work is outstanding but I haven’t seen any recent updates. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Hanging the fore and main yards, as well as the fore topmast yard.
I find it difficult to take suitably revealing photos, but hope these show details.

Hate to say it but the blocks are upside down The lines should run over the would-be sheave rather than under the sheave and over the tail piece of the block. You can drill additional hole though so you do not have to re-rig the blocks, IF you want to. I have no idea why, but this is a common mistake. Does the kit show the blocks like this?

Thanks for the correction Allan and Franck. Unfortunately I am not disturbed enough by their orientation to redo them.
Hopefully it will not detract from the overall appearance. I will not make the same error on my next build.

Absolutely Spectacular! Well done and in such a short period of time from my perspective.
