Well, a few more close-ups. I usually make bays on the dowels at the very end, so that later they will all appear in their places.

I appreciate the way that you faired your blocks for a convincing entry/exit of the falls in a smooth rounded manner. Well done all the way around. RIch (PT-2)
Hello. I continue to work with spars and rigging. Gaffed mainmast set
Boom foremast
Lovely work Sasha!
Details of the rigging of the forearm braces. Beginning of the running rigging on the eye in the deck on each side of the mainmast.
Further, through the two-pulley block on the mast, the ropes diverge and follow to the block on the forehand
Pass through the block on the yard and return to the mainmast
Pass through this two-sheeted block
And they are fixed on the coffee bar with a dowel bar.
The routing of this cable, as well as the entire rigging, does not correspond to the set. In the set, the rigging is VERY simplified.

Excellent work Sasha!
Hello.
Thanks for the likes and comments.
I have had a very productive day today.
I made bays and hung them on pins and ducks

At the moment, the project for the construction of the schooner "Albatross" has been completed. It took me 5 months to complete this construction. I tried to make this model a little better than it is presented in the set. Although the customer and I agreed on the assembly out of the box, but I could not resist reworking. And so I changed: I completely altered the keel frame and frames, the stem, keel, sternpost and rudder blade were replaced with a pear. The rig in the box was all crooked, so I replaced it too. Geeks and gaffs made of black hornbeam. Made some design improvements. Changed the machine tools (slightly modified them). Completely replaced the rigging and blocks out of the box (they went out of the box to the bin). I completely changed the wiring diagram of the rigging. The set contains a very simplified diagram.
And what is left of the kit here? Hmm ... need to think. How well I was able to judge your colleagues in ship modeling. I can say one thing: I am happy with the result. And as the customer is SATISFIED, words are not conveyed.

Uff. It seems like the first time I wrote such a long post. 
Here are some of the larger rigging details.

And some more rigging.
Now we need to persuade my Admiral, who is also a photographer, to take decent and high-quality photos for the gallery (if the moderators do not mind).

Look like that's it.

Your rigging is a model of accuracy and cleanliness! Anybody wishing to build this model, has a great example to follow! Well done Alexander. And as far as the pictures go - of course we do not mind. We would be very pleased if you could share your model in the Completed Gallery Section.
