Bad luck on that fail, but it's all part of this hobby of ours
You could always try some brass rod of the correct (or closest) diameter in the place of the damaged plastic mast. Just drill out a mounting hole for the new brass piece and use some super glue gel to fix it in place. :)

Hi all I decided to try to fix the mast, i tried a piece of copper wire but it was the same thickness all the way up and did not look at all right so i hit on the idea of the end of an old paintbrush.
really pleased with the results.

Hi all, sorry its been a while but every time I touch this model something goes wrong, It's lucky it's not been thrown at the wall or been used for target practice, don't get me wrong it's not the k, it went together perfect all fits great it just seem not to want to be built. after the last post I tripped over the step into my model room and emptied a cup of tea over it.
Well anyway I've glued the decks to the hull all there is to do now is the rest of those blooming seats some rigging and some rails round some of the decks,oh and the lifeboat hoists.

Yep, gotta have those deck chairs for watching the icebergs slide by ... & the lifeboats for the one that doesn't!
Lovely build & lighting. :)
