L.A. Fireboat 2 - How to Scratch Build the Los Angeles Fireboat 2

Los Angeles Fireboat 2
SHIP´S MAST

Part 1a - Mast / Radar Units (continued)

	The interior of the mast deck is where I plan to have the belt/pulley system for the radar units. I also want to be able to access this in the future, therefore I needed to install blocks for screws to secure the top.
Small pieces of Celtec were used for this purpose. Here, you can see the gray blocks and the three (3) white pulleys in their approximate location.
	Two (2) small screws will be used to secure the top of the mast deck housing. The real boat doesn´t have these screws, but it also lacks the belt/pulley system required in a model.
Here is a view of the mast deck from above ... almost ready to accept the upper portion of the mast.
