Just another quick update: I've solved the problem of stowing flimsy white metal masts for 'Cruel Seas' vessels, with help from my brand new brace of Fairmile D 'Dog Boats' (from Warlord Games):
As the mast slots snugly into a hole amidships, I've simply carved a recess into the base of the resin hull into which the mast may be placed. A simple length of tape (plastic tape here, but long-term, masking tape is more likely) then keeps the mast in place.
Happy days.
And what will I do when I've got flags and pennants etc. Added to the mast? - Well, who knows? Maybe I'll just carve space for them too, eh?
Oh, and I also got a wee shout-out on the WS&S blog, here (link).
More ship goodness soon, I expect...
...but fear not, Gentle Reader: I promise you I'll be back to 28mm again before too long!

Clever idea!

Exactly!
