Are these 1:100 scale? Those would be pretty tiny on my ship.
Might take a little experimenting to get the size right but that is the proper way of doing hammocks. Lots of time required! 
Not sure about the scale, thought. But you can get an idea and releationa proportions.
Better?
YES!!!! But always remember this.... You don't need anyone's approval but your own... It is your model (golden rule)...
I think it adds to the overall impression. It may even take attention from some of my more egregious mistakes.
Nine hammocks down and only 120 to go! I hope someone wasn’t pulling my noob leg. 
Looks like some of the sailors were pretty sloppy storing their hammocks in the netting.
looks like the sloppy bosman allowed them to put is that way!!!
I’ll be an open heart surgeon by the time I’m through. Maybe I’ll cheat on the rat lines and space them farther apart.
This is my practice ship to learn the techniques and discipline involved. It may not be a museum piece, but it’s more than I have ever done before. Because of that, I’ll always be proud of the effort.
I wish I could say it’s the Admiral’s fault, but she might read this.looks like the sloppy bosman allowed them to put is that way!!!
I think it's looking good. I would probably try rolling the gauze in a 6" or 12" length Whatever longer length is convenient. Then clamp the ends in some sort of c shaped frame. Maybe a coping saw or hacksaw frame in a vice? Then tie a whole bunch of threads around it. Then cut the individual sections apart after the thread is tied. Hopefully that makes sense. Don't know how well that would work, but I expect it would be easier to work with a larger piece that is being held mechanically while tying the knots.
I think your doing great as is
. I'm just always trying to come up with an quicker easier way to do things.

I tried rolling the gauze lengthwise and it did speed things up a bit. Not cutting the thread length by length and leaving one end attached to the spool also helped. I was, however, disappointed with the look. They appear to be miniature cotton bails instead of hammocks. I think I should have made them half as thick and twice as long and folded them over. Maybe a different kind of material would have worked better. My biggest lesson learned is not to glue things down until I’m perfectly satisfied. Oh, well. Finish this one and do better on my second one.I think it's looking good. I would probably try rolling the gauze in a 6" or 12" length Whatever longer length is convenient.

I found some “non-stick” pads that look a bit more like canvas. I cut them length wise and applied glue and water mixture. I then folded it over to the right length to fit into the netting. I tied it up and cut the excess off. Presto! No fuzzy end on top. 
The Admiral says she can’t tell the difference between the old material and the new. Too bad I’m not making it for her because it was really bugging me!
You can also build the vessel like layed up in ordinairy, saves a lot of hammocks.
