Rigging tutorial for Brigs

[HestonFan]

Has anyone figured out how copy the rigging for a Brig?
I have looked at the pictures in the rule book at great length. I still can’t figure it out.
The rule book only shows how to rig one type of ship.

I would appreciate any help.

Perhaps that pic of a scratch built brig helps,

That is far to complex. I am referring to the brig that the WarLord Games studio made. You know, the one in the book.

If you just do the black rigging part, the standing one, you have the Warlord book style. Holding the masts in position.

The yellowish is the running one, used to adjust the sails and spars. Without it you can’t sail.

Nothing complex, in fact my model shows a simplified one, but OK, as old sailing man…….

Many, like me, do the running rigging even in 1/1200 on gaming models, so obviously in the Warlord scale it is possible too.

A simple rule for what you want:
The standing rigging on the centreline between masts is ever going level or up in direction to the back, not to the front.

The shrouds from the sides go up to the front.

Crikey. Great rigging but I’ll being going simples.
My eyes grow dim, I cannot see…

Will try and follow the pics but in my opinion rigging is a must have to stabilize the masts and keep em from breaking off easily.
