Very impressive! Are the masts rolled paper or are they wood?

Thank you all for replies.
@Kugelfang - masts are made of wood. And a small step forward - I made "the 1st level" of masts and standing rigging. Acceptable. Best Tomek |

I'd say your rigging so far is more than acceptable.

Next update.
When "ratlining", I checked three kinds of threads (not to be bored to death): 1 - artificial very thin one 2 - natural white painted black 3 - black artificial thread for fishing 0,1 mm (I don't know English name) 1. Quite good, but with tendency to "unroll" 2. Also good, but over time starts to "show" tiny hair and bee wax doesn't help it: 3. Fishing thread (let's call it this way) looks best. Perhaps it should be thicker (0,15 -0,2 mm). As it is very hard to cut, I used very hot needle to burn it. I worked hard on futtocks, but I hope they look simmilar to real ones: Then I made main top mast with shrouds, backstays and stays. Today Badger looks like this: Thanks for your comments and replies Best Tomek |

Standing rigging is ready. Everything looks symmetrically, so I'm happy. I hope you like it too:
