Mumin Posted July 27, 2016 #61 Posted July 27, 2016 Richard, the plans and dimensions are for two variants: 60cm length/7 keel holders and 100cm length/11 keel holders but certainly can be modified. BTW, some credits are in order, since the explanations on the plans are in Polish. This building slip is a part of group project "Baltic galeas Karl und Marie" meant as an introduction to scratch building. All the plans are available, along with sample build log by Romek Sobolewski. Original author of the building slip is Marek Mróz, the modifications and all the plans are prepared by Radek Kubera, Mirek Rybus and Jarek Bąkowski. The project was conceived somewhere in 2005, but is still very much alive - just recently several new modelers started their build logs on koga forum. WackoWolf, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote

Seahorse Posted August 15, 2017 #68 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) I am currently building a HobbyZone Jig, and note some minor irregularities with "aydingocors" build. (Be aware...The plans supplied with the kit are printed using varying shades of very light grey. They are extremely difficult to interpret any fine detail). I have found it far easier to visit the Hobbyzone site and look closely at the promotional pictures of the jig, to clear up any doubts. http://www.hobbyzone.pl/en/boat-building-tools/26-professional-building-slip.html Where "aydingocors" build varies from the display model, can be seen in the attached pic. The spacer blocks should be glued to the bottom of the support bracket, to allow the bracket to be able to range over the keel supports if necessary. Also, the support brackets should be glued as shown in the pic, to allow the vertical support frame to sit fully on the base rather than overhang it slightly. Note, the actual jig shown on the HobbyZone site appears to be a slightly different design to the instructions supplied with the kit....My intention is to use the pictures on their site as my main reference in future and proceed accordingly. Please be aware that this is in no way meant as a criticism of "aydingocors" fine build log.....It is only meant to alert potential builders that it is possible to assemble some components incorrectly. My advice is to ...Check, double check and then check again, before assembling any of the modules. Also of note...My kit was supplied with standard hex head bolts, rather than the socket headed cap screws as shown on the display model. I will be replacing all of the supplied hardware with stainless steel cap screws, nuts and washers. It should be far easier to use an allen key when setting up the jig, rather than a ROE (Ring/Open End). Also possibly less chance of over tightening (Spanner/Wrench slipping off the nuts etc). For the money this jig costs, I would have expected it to be supplied with SS fittings and I also have long term concerns for the MDF...particularly in humid conditions.

Jaxboat Posted November 5, 2017 #75 Posted November 5, 2017 I agree with all of the comments on this blog. I also had some plan reading issues but they were minor and I was able to recover quickly. I am building Confederacy which is a big model and the building slip has been a very welcome tool. I also use an Amati hull clamp but it proved too small for a project of this size and weight. However, it will remains my choice for more modest sized models. I also purchased and use the paint brush stand which again is very nice. I have my shipyard in my garage in Northern Florida. Our humidity is world class in the summer and so far no issues with the MDF. Best Jaxboat mtaylor, Canute and kuya 3 Quote
Papa Posted November 6, 2017 #76 Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) I have been wondering if a few coats of varnish on the building slip would help to clean up glue spills and the like. Thoughts? Edited November 6, 2017 by ragove mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote

Papa Posted December 4, 2017 #80 Posted December 4, 2017 Does anyone know the size of the nuts and bolts included with this jig?

Jack12477 Posted December 4, 2017 #81 Posted December 4, 2017 Take one of the bolts and go to your Loews or Home Depot stores, in their hardware department on the wall/bin rack they have measuring jigs that will give you the exact size and thread.

Papa Posted December 5, 2017 #83 Posted December 5, 2017 A bit of detective work on line and a visit to Lowes confirms that the bolts are metric M5-0.8. The "0.8" is "pitch" and it converts to a tad under 32 threads per inch (31.75 in fact ) That's why it looked like a #10 32. The M5 part i think refers to 5mm diameter.. The jig is turning out to be very handy. I am trying to shape the bulkheads for planking, Ryland Craze, Jack12477, alde and 5 others 8 Quote
Papa Posted December 7, 2017 #84 Posted December 7, 2017 This building slip is really versatile, here I turned the Victory upside down to get at the stern. I do need to replace the bolts with thumb screws or knurled ends to speed up changing things mtaylor, alde, Tigerdvr and 1 other 4 Quote
Tigerdvr Posted January 5, 2018 #85 Posted January 5, 2018 I've had one for a while and am using it for my Confederacy build.

andante Posted April 10, 2018 #87 Posted April 10, 2018 I had to ask Hobbyzone about the small holes in end supports. See the slots on both sides of the concave piece (picture 4 in instructions)? If you need to change the height of this piece, "the slots have to be in one line with small holes on both sides, then you will know that vertical is fine", said Hobbyzone. As for the small nails in the ziplock bag - they are included to give more strength to the snappers in picture 6. "The spacer blocks should be glued to the bottom of the support bracket, to allow the bracket to be able to range over the keel supports if necessary." I finally understood what Seahorse wanted to say earlier - but not before I had glued them on top.. Hobbyzone sent me new parts free of charge. I would call that good customer service. The picture shows the correct setup. mtaylor, Ryland Craze, alde and 1 other 4 Quote
