Incredible work. Attention to detail is outstanding. I admire the talent required to build, let along rig, sailing ships. I bow with respect!

thankyou gentlemen for the nice comments .

I thought it best to do the main and preventer stays , before the fore shrouds , for ease of working space .

Since the mains are in, no reason not to.

Steve5, all that I can say is “WOW, what have I gotten myself into?” I added the Heller 1/100 HMS Victory to my stash, as it was on my “Holy Grail” list of kits, but after seeing your amazing rigging, I’m wondering if I’m at the correct skill level yet.
