semorebutts Posted February 19, 2018 Author #542 Posted February 19, 2018 Hey everyone. So I decided to try to drill out the hole again and if i totally destroyed the piece then so be it. To my suprise it worked just enough! Here is the mini mast assembled next comes these 5 parts which was s challenge on the last one i did. then comes the black "radar panel" or whatever it is. All ready pre assembled a few months ago. I might have to touch up the paint as I dont use primer. Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor, coxswain and 11 others 14

semorebutts Posted February 24, 2018 Author #553 Posted February 24, 2018 I'm loving the mast. Its basically all brass. I have always wanted to work with brass or scratch build a brass model. This is the closest I've ever come to that. Anyways I started by bending all the brass I could. And making sure parts fit into holes (which of course they don't). I drilled out a few holes. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 10 others 13
semorebutts Posted February 24, 2018 Author #554 Posted February 24, 2018 Figures I get called into work today. I was having so mich fun with the mast to. the hole were to small again. I had to drill them out. Cathead, popeye the sailor, Canute and 9 others 12

semorebutts Posted February 24, 2018 Author #557 Posted February 24, 2018 I had a little time after work so I continued on the mast. It looks so crooked in photos but doesn't look crooked in person...wierd. cog, Dan Vadas, Landrotten Highlander and 11 others 14
semorebutts Posted February 25, 2018 Author #558 Posted February 25, 2018 I decided to use plastic for the very top of the mast. It has a round shape unlike the flat PE. also the peice at the bottom is about to be glued. With that part 1of 3 of the mast is complete. yvesvidal, mtaylor, Cathead and 10 others 13

semorebutts Posted March 1, 2018 Author #561 Posted March 1, 2018 Today I just laid out the next step on the main mast. I lost yet another important piece. Inside The spot I circled where the 3 scribed pieces meet there is a piece that helps all 3 join together. I lost it though my only chioce now is to just put an big ugly blob of glue there. sorry no actual progress was made today. cog, coxswain, Canute and 8 others 11
