Thanks, dear friend, you remind me that I read about it a along time ago, somewhere on MSW. It can not be boring to me with me 😉🤪

And off course, a mistake! Fortunately, yesterday I temporary put masts on their place to make some pictures, and ... realised .... connection ring on Mizzen for lower yard for spanker is positioned too low! Where were your eyes and brain, Nenad? Happy me! For now, I am curious can I remount CA without damaging wood, and reuse ring with yard holder, or have to make a new mizzen mast ....

Working on mast, question arrises - metal fittings are small (1:100) and - which material to use for them? e.g. yard holdings ... Galvanized **** for gutters I have is to rough and very hard to fit. Cu foil I have (0,3mm) is very thin and elastic and can not hold yard. Brain storming idea - to cover Cu foil with thin layer of soldering? And this is it! Soldering gives it required strenght , even it is 4mm in dia at the hole part.

Side remarks: I know everything looks messy and sloppy right now. (Nothing new in my case 😇) Despite the fact that I apply CA in tiny drops with the tip of a pointed toothpick, some parts of the fittings are so small that even that drop simply sinks and drowns them. This thin devil which hold yard has only 4mm dia, and small drop of CA on top of toothpick just can not be smaller than 1mm. so, that is how it is. But ... Before painting, there will be a fine cleaning and finishing. In doing so, as before, I will use acrylic paint in several thin layers, each of which will be sanded with the finest sandpaper with a grain size of 360-400. I know from previous experience that this way the effect of chiseling is achieved, all little bumps will be aligned, so that everything will look completely different when it is finished. Of course I'm also counting on the effect of visual masking with bunch od ropes sails that will wrap around these little beasts. And another thing to mention: With modern phone cameras (Honor X8a 100MP) it is easy to take a detailed macro shot of your work. Too detailed sometimes, I think, if part is too small. See photos included. Keyboard and a detail ... which also exposes dust between keys ... ugly, isn`t it ... you know what i mean?

I take a short look at back ... 11 years ... Many things changed since begining. Now, I mainly know exactly what I am doing, where are my limits, where simplifications are necessary, right sequence of moves. Ok, I stray here and there, made my mistakes and remakes, little parts still disappeared from desk, just to be fun For complex structures, as deck are, or as masts and yards are, lesson is learned: first make all parts, and then mount them as Lego blocks. And - dont rush anywhere (which is easy to say, and not that easy to do ... my temperament) So, idea is to make all 9 mast parts, to make all yards, trying them temporary are they fit in place as them have to be, and then, after all is finished to start with standing rigging. (Rigging will be hard to me, considering my eyes have same years as me (65) and magnifying glass over fragile structure can damage it if I should not be careful and patient enough.) Some add thoughts ... before masting and rigging, I have to make Her final stand and glass cage, to save Her from dust during that works. So, go on, slowly but persistently, among my other hobbies

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
