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?

All three nests - metal works done.
Holder for yard on fore lower mast done. This was tricky. Made from Cu foil 0.3mm which is harden wirh thin layer of soldering on surface.

Old saying: "when the hill won't come to man, then man will come to the hill"
So, if soldering do not work , super-glue will work

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.
