[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi all This one is for the Birits and Colonies semaphore signals Finials. as I used square alluminium tube for the mast take one plastic end cap drill the center. Pu***hrough a aprox 2mm dia flat head nail 40mm long superglue nail head ot inside of cap note it will not stick very well. Drill a plastic conical bead that is aprox 5mm dia and 10mm long so it is a neat sliding fit on nail. cement this to end cap ad super glue to the nail. grab a scoluped ball shaped plastic bead aprox 18mm to a neat sliding fit on the nail couner sink one side slightly cement this to cone bead and superglue on nail. You should have aprox 20mm of nail protruding from top of beads file point slightly to remove sharp point. Paint White with Red or Yellow ball depending on signal type pus into signal mast. one signal finial that while not dead scale looks the part. measurements are a guide only but produced to me the best look. regards John [/quote] I am very pleased to present this item, made by our own John Busby... John begins by saying, "I described what I had used to make a signal finial that's the decorative spike on top of the mast. This was a very simple signal to make the triangle is actually bolted to the mast as per the AUS prototype." [img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/CaptCarrales/EGR%20No1%20sig.jpg[/img]
