You could get a tight fitting mast coat, secure it to the upper deck and then hold in place with shrouds.

If you are talking about the figure head that is hand painted. It is Chuck’s resin version. I also have a boxwood one but like the painted one more. If you are talking about the cheeks and brackets those are all available in Chapter five.

How to connect yards to masts??
Jim Rogers replied to ObviousNewbie's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Your brass rod idea is spot on. See photo. Then once the yard is secured you can attach with trusses or parrel lines. I have no idea why this loads photos upside down every time. Most annoying. -
Chuck Have you thought out the upper decks yet? I remember a conversation about their construction but can’t find it. Would it be possible to have open visible framing on half and completely planked on the other half?

How to Make Mast Straps
Jim Rogers replied to rraisley's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
You can also use electrical wire heat shrink. Comes in various sizes. Cut into proper size strip, slide into place, hit wit hair dryer and VIOLA strap. Do this on anchors all the time. -
I always rig the backstays last so I can tighten everything up.

1/48 HMS Surprise, who makes the best flags.
Jim Rogers replied to ratskiss's topic in Wood ship model kits
Make your own. Find what you want on the net, copy into print program, size it. Tape a white tissue sheet to a regular printer sheet and run it through the printer cut it out done. Here is one I made. -

The shrouds will hold the masts in place.

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.
