    Ollie, Cutter masting varied enormously from ship to ship. Looking at the available contemporary paintings, the caps you have for the kit look reasonable, but remember that you need room for the spreader on top of the forward end of the lower cap. I would guess that the topmast had a square heel and the lower mast had a square tenon worked into the top to take the cap, so the lower one would be square for the topmast and round for the lower mast with the upper cap being the other way around - square for the lower mast and round for the topmast.

    Ollie, Although not shown on these models, I'm sure the originals would have had iron bars across the glass as protection. John

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.
