augie Posted February 1, 2014 Share #31 Posted February 1, 2014 If you're going to drill holes and thread them in the wood, it helps to 'harden' the threads with two or three drops of thin CA. It strengthens them quite a bit. Just make sure the CA is completely dry before you put in the screws or threaded rod. edmay 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard50 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #34 Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks Kevin, it was great talking to a fellow modeller, and thanks also for all the tips. The day made me feel better, and inspired me to get back to working on The Amerigo Vespucci with some vigor. When you have the time, why not try getting back to your A.M. which has been tucked away for some time. Once again thanks for your time.
