Anyone have pictures of their square rigger with lightning rods?

Luiz, I (and I'm sure many others) thank you for your reply. And may I add that's a killer model! Also, my sincere apologies for missing this info at the end in post 14, I somehow glossed right over it or I'm getting old(er) and just didn't remember it. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I only just came across this topic—so please accept my apologies—but perhaps this information might also be of interest in this context?
The model I am currently building is a French corvette from 1827, and it did indeed have a lightning conductor, though only at the top of the mainmast—the highest point of the ship.
