Only a few small details left to add. Jib sheets ( I just have to make the decision where the sheet blocks will be set , and where the "hauling ends" will be belayed ),( Stays'l sheets are rigged ) Mainsail out-haul ( tightens/stretches the foot of the main sail ), anchors and chain.
Here's where it is now:
Overall view, port side. ( in most cases, the lighter colored running rigging is barely, if even, visible.
I think I used the right sized thread for the running rigging ! :o 
Close up of the bow, and bow sprit. Those sails are cut from a single ply, of Two Ply facial tissue. Furling, and rigging those, was an exercise in
The figure standing just forward of the main mast, is an HO scale figure. He's the "Ship's Master" / Skipper. Gives you something to compare the "size of things" to.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
