They say patience is a virtue. In model building, patience and a lot of time go hand in hand.

Here is a pic of the reverse rigging installed over one section of the belaying pins. These lines have been cut to the appropriate length as detailed in the instructions, tied and numbered for future reference. When called for in the build, these lines are pulled up through the mast heads, blocks , and eventually tied off high above the deck where things are just more open and conveniently accessible.

Here is a look at one of the belaying pin racks from the inside of the gunwall. Getting this result is the reason why I like this method.

This pic shows all of the running rigging lines tied off to the deck mounting points - belaying pins or fife rails. Yes it is a big mamagement mess. After this, I took each line and drapped it over the side of the ship, making further access very easy
