Some updates on rigging. The instructions provide little detail on rigging, and the plans can be confusing. Despite the fact that I have a complete set of plans from New Bedford Whaling Museum I have been struggling with working out the rigging detail. Fortunately, I also belong to Nautical Research Guild and a member reached out to me yesterday with a copy of a booklet that I should have received when I bought the plans (I didn't know it existed). The booklet gives detailed rigging specifications which makes the project much easier.

Some updates on the rigging. Started working on rope hanks using a jig process I found on the internet, but there is a learning curve! Display case is finished, started shopping around for glass.
