Thank you all for the brilliant comments I have started rigging the mizzenmast as I like to work from the back to the front as I find it easier as you don't crash into the rigging you have already done The instructions say to put the yards up first and then sew the sails to them  I tried this and failed dismally how the heck you do that I don't know So plan B fitted the sails first and bingo it was a lot easier To brake up the rigging I started fitting the anchors to the side of the ship That's all for the moment Rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Hi Martyn, I have been quietly following your build with much interest. I will be honest, I have used and are about this kit. Ship looks loverly but some of the brass etch spoils it I think, so have enjoyed all your little scratch builds and mods, so much so that I know i will be subscribing to this at some point. waiting for the new release to land as i am quite looking forward to building along with the forum again. phenomenal build, enjoyed every post, cannot wait to see it in the finished build gallery.

Martyn That looks a lovely build indeed. Understand the issue with the sails/yards as it does not leave much room to work. Hope the remaining build goes well for you. Happy Modelling
