Looks great so far. Hard to believe it's a first effort. I really like that old Lindberg kit; it's one of the better detailed ones, for its size and age, on the market.
In one of the other threads you started we discussed some good starter books that deal with rigging. The Mondfeld and Campbell books - especially the latter - will get you on the right track. Rigging isn't the form of witchcraft some people tend to think. It's actually a series of fairly straightforward systems, repeated and stacked on top of each other. The basic principles are quite simple.
I'll echo a suggestion that's already been made: if this is your first attempt at rigging a sailing ship, don't feel obligated to include every single line that was on the original. Start with the standing rigging - the black (or very dark brown) stuff that holds up the masts. Then move on to the more basic running rigging - the lighter brown stuff that holds up the yards and makes them swing. When you've gotten that far, you'll have a model that represents a ship that's been at anchor for some time, with her sail gear stowed away. Ask yourself if that's enough. Lots of people think it is.
We've had a good running discussion of furled sails in another thread, headed "Real cloth sails?" I've just moved it to p. 1; it should appear just below this one.
Since you've just started setting up the masts and yards, I'll take the liberty of offering one other suggestion. (I wouldn't do it if you'd already installed any of the rigging on the yards.) When a square-rigged ship's sails are set and furled, the yards (except the lowest one on each mast) are raised and lowered. Since the kit was designed to be fitted with those gawdawful vac-formed plastic "sails," the instructions show the yards in the raised positions. In a ship with furled sails, or no sails, the yards would be lowered. (This is covered in that other post - and in the books.) I don't remember how the yards are fastened to the masts in this particular kit, but at this early stage of construction it should be easy to move the yards to their lowered positions. In the eyes of ship buffs, they'll look much better that way.
The sail plan and rigging of this ship are pretty similar in most respects to those of the Continental frigate Hancock, which dates from just about the same time. Here's a link to some photos of a model of her that I built: http://gallery.drydockmodels.com/hancock
You can see what I mean about the lowered yards.
This is going to be a mighty handsome model. Good luck.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
