Hello everyone,
Here's another weekly update. All the shrouds on the starboard side are tied and ready. Now I "just" need to do the port side and not lose the motivation to do it.

So far your model has been nothing short of masterful. Just listen to music that inspires you and start ratlining. It takes about 6 good days to ratline a vessel of this size if you stay at it. The results are truly worth the effort. Ratlining is one of the things that separates wooden sailing ship modelers from all others.

Hello everyone,
The standing rigging on the Vasa is finished (pictures to follow) and I'm now getting to work on the sails. I have a question: Didn't the Vasa have foot ropes on the yards? I can't find anything about this in my documents. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

No, footropes came much later in time, and strangely enough, they were used in the upper yards such as the the topgallants and topsail yards before also being used on the course yardarms. In the early 17th century, I believe you had to straddle the yards or even walk them, and never with shoes. You walked barefoot in order to keep your balance.
