Completion Of The Standing Rigging


All the standing rigging now complete, now able to start the spars. This is quite exciting, it will be nice to see the first one in place.



The fore top gallant stay (farthest left on the picture) running to the figure head is temporary, just to add some tension to the fore top gallant. This is because the bow sprit has not been fitted yet due to the way the ship is stored in a cupboard (anti kid proof)







The ships boats still remain removed and wont be reinstated until completion.
























I added a tiny bit of solder to the brass rings to ensure they di not pull open.
