Hello, thanks for the nice comments and the LIKES. My previous interpretation of the weather flags and the lightning conduction for the La Creole is completely wrong. Our forum colleague Dirk @ Dubz showed me a picture from the book "Modeles Historiques" by J. Boudriot from the top of the main mast of the Paris model of La Creole. I also want to make this beautiful detail for my model. For this I use the etching technique. I have already drawn the necessary template.

Hi Ed, this is a beautiful sight. In addition, your report is for me a textbook for modeling, where I always find great suggestions.

Hi Karl, Beautiful progress! It is a fine precise work. -
Hello, the continuation of the report is about the fittings for the topmast caps. The iron bands must be fitted with bolts and square nuts. To make this detail with 0.75mm / 0.75mm square nut and a 0.4mm diameter bolt, I chose the following method as shown in the pictures.

Hello, It always makes me happy when I notice your interest in my report. Thanks everyone In this context, the lightning conductor on the main mast should not go unnoticed. On the original model (yellow arrow) the lightning conductor can be seen. I assume at least that this is so.
-
Hello, thanks to all, for your attention. After finishing the tops, I continue with the royal masts. The French Corvette had a weathervane on every royal mast. Here are some pictures: Whether this corvette also had lightning conductors is in this context quite a legitimate question.

Hi Jim, Thank you for your interest in my work. Yes, I have to squeeze the metal strop a little.

Hello Albert, Thanks, and everyone else for the LIKES. Meanwhile, I made the futtock shroud plates for the tops of the foremast and the mizzen mast. The difference between the deadeyes of the top of the foremast and that of the mainmast is barely recognizable (0.2 mm), yet it is important to me. The difference between the deadeyes of the top of the foremast and that of the mainmast is barely recognizable (0.2 mm), yet it is important to me. Furthermore, I produced the royal cross trees for the formast and the mainmast. I hope the pictures explain everything so far.

Hello Doris, it is amazing how exactly you work. You have developed your technique to the highest level. It is unique, I know nothing comparable. Please do not let us wait too long until the report continues.

Hello Carl, thank you for your very nice comment. But my works are still not perfect. I only take pictures of the perfect details ... In the meantime, I made the topmast deadeyes and futtock shroud plates for the top of the main mast. Here are some pictures of how I did it. The parts are brazed.
-
Hello, the construction of the tops is completed. I will soon continue with the completion of the masts.
-
Here I continue the photo documentation to build the mizzen-tops:
-
@noel_colledge No of course not. These are so-called hatagane - these are Japanese bar clamps. These delicate clamps allow finely-fitted small and delicate work pieces to be clamped for fitting and glueing. Here LINK I bought them.
-
To make the mizzen-top I show a series of pictures.

Hello Mike this is an extremely clean model construction work. I'm excited.

Hello Thomas, Hello Carl, many thanks for the interest and the nice words. Also thank you to all for the LIKES. Here is an update: The wood processing for the top of the foremast is finished. Now the fittings are made.
-
@druxey Thank you for the kind words. And here, continue with the report: The Grätings for the top of the foremast are ready for installation. Fitting in the frame is very carefully carried out. The size difference between the tops of the foremast and the mainmast can be seen here.
