- Make one ladder for the main mast and one for the fore-
mast. Solder overlength pieces of brass wire to them to
form the spacer pins 393, then shorten them to 4 mm.
The ladders are not required until the masts have been
assembled.
- Drill holes in the deck lamps 394, bend the deck lamp
stands 395 to shape and glue them in the holes. Drill 1
mm Ø holes in the deck and glue the deck lamps in the
holes and to the handrail.
Light shaft, return pulleys, stern lamp console, lifebelts,
gangway, liferaft support
- Attach the brass wire latches 397 to the light shaft 396,
and glue the glazed porthole 398 in place. Glue the com-
pleted light shaft to the boat deck.
- Fit the pulleys 400 and washers 401 on the pulley conso-
les 399, but glue the washers in place only - not the pul-
leys.
