So, small update time!
So when placing separate build superstructures etc. they tend to stick out!
Here's an example.

When placed there's a obvious seam running and the piece feels out of place.
So to remedy that, after gluing the piece in place, I run thinned krystal klear to remove the seam and tie it down to the deck. After the glue has dried I take small brush and get some light gray pigments on it and start dapping the seam.
After this it looks that's it in place and belongs there. This is a good method when you already finished both pieces so you don't want to ruin any of the finished surfaces. Using white glue is good because you can easily control it with water and get it off while it's drying.
Here's the small funnel hut in the aft after these steps. It had quite a big seam running around it before aplication.



Even better if you use a brand that dries matte!
And some shots of the mast! Not completly finished yet.
I did deviate some of the Pontos instructions and just kept using the reference as a guide on what parts to use and how to attach them. Also small wires added and other details.
Takes a lot of patience to get everything aligned and you need to test fit both the aft legs carefully and then the whole thing to the bridge superstructure.
The aft legs needed quite a lot of twisting to get them align properly. Take care, there's a lot of PE parts attached to them and watch so they don't snap off!
Also the main leg needed some filing to get it sit in a proper angle with the rest of the platforms and they can be quite tricky when attaching them on so you need to play by their rules.
I think I got them pretty well aligned in the end and it's been already test fitted to the ship aswell and should look fine with some more twisting of the aft legs when gluing it down.
But yea here's the photos of the mast for now!
