Folks:
Arr and all that.
Anyway, I'm building my 6285 Black Sea's Barracuda and I'm up to the
part where you put the mast parts into the 3-inch (or so) tube mast
base. I find the the four slots on the tubes (that fit the tiny tabs on
the bottoms of the masts) are rotated about 5-10 degrees off-center so
that when the masts and sails are installed they're on a slant (relative
to the ship's fore and aft orientation) and the ratlines are twisted (to
the right as you look forward.)
When i make the masts square with the ship they sit slightly above where
they should and are constantly pulling the ratlines out of their
attatchments on the gunwhales. Anybody else have this problem?
I have another extension (from 6270 Forbidden Island) and the slots are
square to the base.
It's no big deal (and no I'm not sending the ship back - it's
magnificent) but it bugs me. Do I have defective tubes?
Thanks

| (...) I've got one tall mast base that's like that too, but I got it in a trade, so I don't know the original source. Surprised the heck out of me when I found it. I figured mine was just a fluek, but now I wonder... J (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
