I am currently building the Model Shipways version of Mayflower. It's my first bulkhead kit. Nowhere do the directions tell you when to attach the display base. Anyone know when that is usually done? Thanks...

Hi - I'm just starting MS Syren and I too have a seriously warped bulkhead former. I've tried soaking it then applying weight; soaking it then applying clamps; applying weight to bend the opposite direction. Currently it is clamped, top and bottom, and I'll apply steam. So far, it still curves. Sent a msg to MS and was told it was forwarded to Parts Request for replacement - that's the last I've heard. Otherwise I like the kit, especially the instructions; but, this warped former is annoying.
