Mast parts done. Topmasts supplemented with pulleys..





Making basket supports called Mast Cheeks. Again processing the glued and then soaked parts..











I have already reached model height..

Nice way to make those mast cheeks

On the MSW forum, they pointed out to me that the height of the masts was insufficient, which I calculated according to the table in the book "Mondfeld - Historical ship models" and the dimensions fit the plan. However, the lower sections (mainmast, foremast, mizenmast) still seemed short to me. I compared the masts to the Zeehaen plan masts and they came out about 10 percent longer. So the masts are extended..



The Main yard and Fore yard locations will now sit as well..
