    Mantua Albatross - mast rings question

    in Masting, rigging and sails

    Posted

    Hi - beginner/intermediate modeler returning to building the Mantua Albatros Baltimore Clipper (1:40) scale after a long hiatus...   the photos of the ship on the box show some wire wrapped around the mast - appears to be in a spiral - the plans show what appear to be mast hoops up the mast - but the instructions are silent on this.  Is this really just brass wire wrapped in a spiral around the mast to simulate mast hoops?  Any help you can provide would be deeply appreciated.

     

    Photos of the mast and wire are below.

    Hi - beginner/intermediate modeler returning to building the Mantua Albatros Baltimore Clipper (1:40) scale - am missing one of the cannons with carriage (see photos below).  Does anyone know of a source for replacement cannons that I can order from in the US?  I can find similar cannons on various model building websites, but not this exact one.
