Thanks RDK
Next is the main mast which has taken a long time to build. On this ship the mast and
the top are made of steel. I am using 0.005" brass to model the metal parts.
The brass is a friendly material: can be cut with ordinary scissors and bent/formed
with fingers. The top could have been made of paper but would nor be strong enough
to support the rigging lines.
The thin brass would be excellent for reinforcing paper parts.
The metal parts and the dowel will be painted gray and the timber parts left natural.
Next post.
cheers Jim
