Thank you, Scott, for nice words. As I wrote earlier, in early stage of build I have big mistake which can not be resolved, and which I noticed after mounting 4000 foil strips as mynz metal under water line, except to start model from begining. Deck and deck rails are not paralell ... deck fence has different random height ...
So, then I decide to overdetail Her to turn off attention of anybody who will se Her.
And that is simply - that.
Beside that, making this little beasts is chalenge! And fun.
All the best.

Cap Band,, step by step
Remarks
Strip of Cu foil on start is spiral, with ends INSIDE
Dont forget to apply thiny foil of soldering on surface of strip.
1. Cut a strip of copper foil of the required width, long enough to wrap twice around the mast. Sand well
2. Bend the tape around both masts in a spiral, so that the ends of the tape are on the inside
3. remove from the mold, adjust to the correct dimensions and tighten so that it does not unroll, then solder the assemblies. Apply a thin layer of solder paste to the surface of the ring to strengthen it
4. Solder the foil over as a cover
5. Remove excess material
6. Drill the holes for the hooks

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

Sometimes you, just, don't think (and we know that thinking is too difficult and the devil's work!)
The mast nests on my model have a lower metal structure over which planking is laid.
Pictures 1 and 2 show what this is all about.
Come on...
I struggled to do the lower structure, after 2 hours of drilling and milling finally satisfied, all that was left was to adjust the hole for the mast, when ... hell!
It can not get in!
The genius forgot that because of the earlier story about the hooks, he made the masts thicker by about 1mm, which required me to make the nest a little bigger.
So ... let's start from the beginning.

Rings with rings and pins at the bottom of fore mast. Little pins are unusuable on this scale, and it overlays my skill, so I made two rings with rings, a bit larger and simplydied. It would not be visible when ropes come over one day
