HMS Endeavour mast sizes need help
I'm building a scratchbuilt model of the Endeavour using the 'anatomy of the ship' as primary reference.
The author drawings to scale of the topmasts and topgallants on p88. The issue is that these seem to bear little relationship to the list of mast dimensions on p19 although overall views tend to agree with the listed dimensions. Has anyone encountered this inconsistency before or am I going mad, and if so, what did they do about it? Many thanks Dave_J

Re: HMS Endeavour mast sizes need help
I made the masts for my Endeavor from scartch using Marquardt. Because I started out with the AL kit, I was committed to 1:60 scale. I enlarged the drawings on pages 84,85 & 88 and used them to make the masts. I should have checked dimensions against those in Table 3 on page 19, but I didn't. The only issue regarding masts using Marquardt that I recall was that one of the topmasts was too long to fit from below. It may be that I built the shorter Woolrich mizzen and the Marquardt drawings did not adjust the length of the mizzen topmast for the shorter mizzen.
I'd love to see some photos of your work. I am still at running rigging. I've taken a long break from work on my model.
