This work took a while since the inside opening has to be carefully widened so it still has a bit of a wood left and at the same time, the hole is wide enough so it can slide down fairly easily, without breakage. Easily said then done, one of the achtkants broke and i had to fix it on the topgallant. You can see the small chip missing on the left one.  Then i start assembling the foremast...    and completed.. ready for a layer of danish oil.  Happy modelling.. | ||

Still a bit more work but very close to the end result...   The boom' jaws were assembled after the correct boom end was shaped with sand paper. I used carpenter's glue for this process just to make sure any hole between boom and jaw were filled.  Happy modelling.. | ||

Faking the sheave again... must be very good for the whole year so Santa can bring me a mini metal lathe...   Metal bands are simulated with a paper coloured in black and sliced in tiny strips. Then wrapped around the area and glued.. Appears to be very effective at the end..    Happy modelling.. | ||
