semorebutts Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share #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.

semorebutts Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share #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.

semorebutts Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share #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.

semorebutts Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share #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. popeye the sailor, cog, coxswain and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
