Kristian,
Thanks for posting your work. I love your islands. Hope you will not think me rude. I would try spraying your rat-lines black. In life they would have been tared (so would be black) and you will find it easier to mount onto the masts and cut. Also i would cut the little bit of rigging off the mizzen to make it cleaner.
Hope this is O.k. too say to you. Keep on modelling.
Be safe
Rory
