Maybe an idea!

Andrew's is a good idea Giulio. To make such a mast using rod will be difficult I would imagine although with time and patience it could be done. The railway mast that Andrew has pointed out, however, looks like it could be adapted to look near enough to me.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Giulio I have used the Albion Alloys Conneco system to make frames and masts before. They can be soldered or glued. I used it on the 1/48 Piper Cub for the internal frame.

Here is their video on how to use it.



I hope this is of some help?

Thanks to all folks, I really apreciate your help, and your suggestions.
For now, I'm waiting for Evergreen Rods, I'm want to try to scratch the mast!
Maybe I am being stubborn! :grin: :grin:

Meanwhile, I close the Superfreighter fuselage.

This old Airfix, it' a real pleasure for a modeller! :)

Hi folks..... :)
The "kid" is alright.
Sometimes, in life, when you do not expect anything and anyone, something happens.
I stopped temporarily making models.
I hope to return soon.
But first I have to rearrange my life.

;-)

Good luck sorting things out! You and your splendid models are missed, but it is only a hobby, and sometimes life likes to get in the way of it. Hope all is well.

Tante auguri, Giulio!

Please tell me you are not going to honeymoon in hobby shops.
