The Mast

Happy Holidays!! Well it may be a little late but progress has been slow over the holidays in the garage. I did manage to get some work done so I wanted to update you on the progress. I started work on the mast which is made from a 3/8" diameter brass tubing. Based on the reference photos I detailed the mast with various bits of styrene. For the rungs I first drilled holes the length of the mast and then inserted pieces of brass rod. To create the winch I went to my parts box and put together a few small gears and some styrene bits. I then wwent ahead and sprayed a coat of primer on it.
