From reading other's builds, one is pretty much on their own as to were rigging goes. The rigging sheet is pretty much just blank lines going nowhere or no lines at all.

I may attach the rudder, anchors and some of the deck pieces first as not looing forward to starting the rigging.

Well, from the work you've done so far, the rigging will look great, no matter the loose instructions. Beautiful work.

Thank you Tim. Overall this is a pretty nice kit.

I'd agree, as I built Pavel's Shallop - and I liked that kit - all those jigs. Didn't put sails on it though (still might). And I've been looking at Pavel's Santa Maria and his San Bartolome ever since I completed the Shallop. Be ready for a new ship in about 2 months. Dunno yet - selection is part of the fun.
 
Yes. I've seen you link when searching for Shallop builds. What a find build you made. I built the Shallop too and gave it to my daughter. Thought I have posted a build here on SOS. Guess I didn't. I was having some difficult times a few years ago and started some builds here, but could never complete them. I'm going to finish this build. I bought Pavel's Bartolome a few years ago but just couldn't work on models anymore and gave it away. However, I ordered the Pavel's kit again last November and will build it this time (that is if it ever arrives!!), when I finish the Santa Maria.
