bluenose2 Posted April 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2017 Hello Les here. I made a boo boo on my current build. I followed kit instructions for the build, got ahead of my self and didn't put any bracing below deck for the masts. ?%X#*. Now I may have a big problem. Any ideas on how to secure the masts below deck? Thnx Les. thibaultron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Poison Posted April 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2017 If I had no other choice because the hull is completely finished and also the deck, I would use heavy duty clay, placing the mast and wait for it to dry.. thibaultron, bluenose2 and mtaylor 3 Quote Completed....

mtaylor Posted April 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted April 2, 2017 Another way would be find a small pin (sewing type). Drill a hole in the bottom of the mast and put in the non-sharp edge of the pin (cut it down to length but not the point). You woudn't need much of the pin sticking out of the pin to poke it gently into the keel/false keel. CA it in place. This would work if there's only one deck. If there's two decks, then a bit of clue on mast to secure it to the decks would work. bluenose2, thibaultron and Captain Poison 3 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogeygolpher Posted April 2, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 2, 2017 Your rigging will secure it in place. mtaylor 1 Quote PROWE If someone says something can't be done, it only means they can't do it.
