Day 36 to 40 - 12 Hours Work
It has been a while after the failure of rigging the ratlines, as I was off for two trips. I was back a week ago and continued on the riggings... Anyway, I removed my ratlines which I think the result was still not satisfying. :(

I've asked through forums and some suggested that I should rig the futtock staves first before I start the ratlines, because it will help avoiding hourglass shape on the shrouds. Anyway, to make the futtock staves I'll need to put the deadeyes on the crow nests first.
As shown:

Then, I started on the futtock staves. It's done by rigging a blacken copper nail to the shrouds.

However, I did not continue on the ratlines. Instead, I skipped to finish all the stays and topmast shrouds first. :)
I will continue on the ratlines before I put my yards on.

Up till now, basically all the stays and shrouds are done. Next, I will need to put the gaffs on, then only continue back working my ratlines. :)
