to be fair after all that brass it isn't that heavy and with previous testing its going to need a lot of lead in the hull to get it to sit correctly once finished

Here is were i went a bit creative adding features to the mast and going off the film boat the top marker lights and the support rings and the winder mechanism i 3d printed everything else is brass wire and tube 6mm for the rear boom with some odd scraps added holes are drilled ready to take wiring , next will be to smooth down all solder and prime .👍

Now for the moment of truth lets fit it to the superstructure and floor as seen in the three pictures it has gone on quite well and is removable
to note the wooden block base also has a 10 mm hole through it this is so i can run any electrics i want down the main mast tube and out the bottom for connection for marker lights and the rear lamp

the next thing was to get the mast to the correct length so just soldering it would not do because a soon as you knock it it'll break so what i did was drill holes in both ends of the joining parts rolled a bit of brass sheet inside slid on the other end of the mast and coated the inside and out with flux blow torch and some solder and let it flow through the holes and around the join and hey hey one piece Pic 1 shows the hols and the rolled sheet pic 2 shows the other tube with the holes ready for fitment pic 3 ready for flux pic 4 joined pic 5 full length.

So i have ordered a load of brass tube and assorted wire and bits and bobs there is a plan for the mast on the Sarik plans but i have not followed them instead i have just gone off photos of the film boat not exactly to scale but i think it works firstly like everything else i've done for far i wanted to be able to take this off for repairs and cleaning in the future so a bit of thinking i came up with this idea 10mm brass tube i could only seem to get this in 300mm lengths so a bit of joining would be Req . PIC 1 i have attached the tube to a brass mast base and attached that to a wooden block which i have put two bolts to screw this to the floor pic 2 you can see i have attached a brass plate this sits neatly on the cabin roof again with a bolt through it 👍

so i am lucky enough to have a 3d printer so i thought lets get it involved with the build so first addition is the marker lights and blinkers easy enough as seen in the pics it will be lit so holes drilled into the fly bridge sides to let the bulbs in also and with the film version there is a metal tube running from the fly-bridge through the roof down to the internal controls so ive simulated this with a printed tube and then drilled a hole in the cabin roof the idea here is so any electrical s up here ie marker lights and the control panel and the spot light wires can all be hidden and routed through here which will come out at the bottom of the cabin👍or thats the plan a
.. i have also measured up and printed a control panel and shelving for the fly-bridge as you can see it incorporates skirting so you wont see were the marker light wires will run

here we have the front window frames installed as you will remember in the film these are hinged as Brody climbs out of them in the end once the orca was sinking
i have also installed the front cabin roofs and sides here
last pic shows the small side lockers installed i did these out of a small block of Balsa and grooved them the added a ply lid
all fitted looks real snug against the side walkways
its really starting to look a lot better know
before i forget the main roof and super structure sides have now got beading once painted it will all become one

on this next part i lined and stained the rear deck flooring adding in the hatch as you remember the rear floor comes away with the superstructure to give me more work room inside the hull
i also made the cabin door this will be hinged and operable

As Colin has said Wez colours are bespoke to customer requirements .. just remember though there would have been no metalics back in the 60s ... there is a fairey site I see somewhere as you can still get a Huntsman 31 built obvs with modern stuff oh and 900k in your wallet to spare🤣😂🤣😂
