hello I've got issue 113 with the mast diagram and there seems to be a problem. The hole for the foremast is 10mm dia.but according to the diagram the foremast seems to be 6mm dia. and seeing as I haven't got a 10mm rod to go there( the two I've got go in the bowspirit and mainmast) I'm assuming the hole must be too big or is this rectified in a future issue? regards jethro

The collar when in place will finish everything off nicely.. Third picture down in post 3061 on my diary page will show you what I mean...  Just don't make the hole in the deck any bigger or the collar will be too small.... http://forum.model-space...ts&t=5013&p=154
I also need you to double check the diameter of the of the foremast as you say it seams to be 6mm... If that is what you have then there is something definitely wrong here. The diameter of the foremast and mizzen mast is 8mm at the base tapering down to 6mm as you go up the mast. The main mast is 10mm tapering to 8mm. Hope this helps. Regards Alan
