Hello, Is there a good place / shop to buy Mast Caps? Dutch style so "donkey head" shaped. Im building the Friesland, the metal parts included are faultive, and no local retailer has suitable parts. I tried making them myself but I'm not satisfied with the results. Any leads are helpful. Webshops, Ebay etc Thanks! Chris

The mamoli parts are very bad metal casts. I tried drilling the holes open (they were not open all the way through) and it snapped in two. Also they didn't really fit and look clunky. Because I can't find these dutch models with the rope grooves in it on any webshop so far, I might try and make them myself. Fingers crossed -

What is this part called in english? I broke a few and some mamoli parts are incorrect so I want to attempt at making my own pr buying better parts. So far Ive not been able to find much Thanks!! Chris

Hi Jan, Do you have a good reference? I might have to dig up my 7 Provinciën PDF somewhere to see what's in there.
-
Hi Jan, a set of drawings would be great, are they in scale 1:75? What are the big and small rowing boat called? Im seeing different names used around the net.
-
Thanks for the tips guys. Waiting for new wood and parts to come in then I can continue!
-
Also maybe a good link to scratch the ship rowing boats? What were the guys at Mamoli thinking with these clunky metal cast atrocities lol !
-
Does anyone have a good description/thread of making the wooden parts of an anchor ? Im not a fan of the prefab mamoli pieces and consider making more detailed scratch parts
