masts

Thanks Glen, Don, Mike, Jim, John and Lex good of you to drop bye.

The masts and spars are a bit of a compromise the foremast is such a delicate construction in real life it would be impossible for me to rig her. Finally I settled for rolling them using cigarette papers it was quite difficult getting the spars to stick. The actual rigging will be wire no pulling cotton with this set up. I should have doubled up the foremast deck it is a bit wobbly. Paper was given a thin coat of super glue.

I found another small boat needed adding tonight when i was checking through the design amazing what you can miss for weeks. Still needs paravanes and a couple more winches and hatches. It must be nearly finished I keep saying to myself. The planes need gluing down and a couple of adjustments to the torpedo shelter as you can see.

Wow barry, you just keep getting better and better at this stuff... almost makes me want to build another ship. (Did I mention my Partners father also served on HMAS Melbourne for a while, I believe you've already designed one of the same class).

That's a beautiful image, Barry!

Agano looks well next to Richelieu. To my eye, this particular Japanese warship seems to have some visual similarity to the beautiful late pre-war French warships.

Thanks Jaffro, Don and Jim

Don possibly looks a bit like the Algerie heavy cruiser I thought more like an RN Leander class cruiser with that single funnel.

I fitted the degaussing cables on one side tonight. I should have done that long before now. If anything they are too straight in real life they definately sagged quite a lot and required clamping every 5 or 6 feet. Somehow I do not feel in the mood to produce the clamps maybe one night when I need to do something mindless.

I take your point about the Leander similarity. Certainly, Agano had a different appearance from most of the other Japanese light cruisers.

Looks good with the degoosers mounted.
