Spars and Bars

I had a go at adding some spars to the two small screw corvettes, the Chilean Magallanes and the Peruvian Pilcomayo, so that they looked a little more like the actual ships and less like generic schooner rigged gunboats. The base model in the recently rebadged ASV18 Heavy Gunboat model, one of which I've shown next to the converted versions. I used the usual cut down staples to make the spars, with a small hole drilled through the foremast for the lower one at the front, while the others were just glued in place. I only added two spars to each mast to keep it simple, as it's only for appearance sake rather than accuracy. It's a shame I can't remove the sails as well but at least they look less like fore and aft rigged schooners. I have a handful more of these models based up and may well use them for a Royal Navy gunboat flotilla, rather than the Prussian gunboats that I originally planned?
