IIRC, FSM had an article a while back on scratch building true parabolic cage masts using styrene and fine piano wire

...and a stiff belt of Scotch, before and after!  Big Smile

They are only available in 1/700 from Blue Ridge.

That's the former Pacific Front.

Hence the reason for my posting of Tom's 1:350 details ...

 

And to be absolutely pedantic,  the assets of Pacific Front Hobbies were sold to Freetime Hobbies.   Blue Ridge Models began with the old kits & molds of Gulfstream/Blue Water Navy/Yankee Modelworks/Classic Warships/Midship Models.  They (Blue Ridge)  have been working through the old manufacturer's stock and assets,  re-releasing what they can (the DD-1 Bainbridge is on its fourth or fifth re-release),  re-working what needs reworking,  or replacing what is otherwise not serviceable.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Check out www.freetimehobbies.com, they carry a company called blue ridge models that have some cage masts.  I'm not sure if they have any 1/350, and I haven't used them, but I remember seeing them in an e-mail advertisement.  From the pictures they look pretty good!

Toms Modelworks makes a set.   This is not a true parabolic cage mast, rather done by putting together two truncated cones

Does anyone know of a PE set for early  BB cage masts in 1/350 scale?. Thinking of doing the USS New York, BB34
