    Vol, your boats and masts look great. You probably could start a business on Facebook with those masts? More than a few folks are not pleased with the Warlord white metal masts and have had to resort to using the plastic 3rd rate versions.

    I quite agree Jim.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    I have another problem with the plastic version masts. They cast the spars flush with the masts, rather than properly in front of the mast. And the fighting tops are too shallow for proper ratline attachment. When I use them I end up cutting away all of the spars and extend the tops.

    I am agreeing with a lot here today Vol, that is why I silver solder my spars on to any masts I make. like the credit card idea too.
