Recommended Posts

Even making up the mortar section as a separate kit would be a fantastic model.

That is a genius idea on the clear plexiglass.

We used plexiglass for the first time in kit. It has many advantages,It doesn't deform easily. More accurate in size than wood.
At the same time, it is transparent and can clearly observe the condition of keel and rib during installation.

This section alone would be a great kit.

My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

I'm trying to strengthen the dock because plexiglass is brittle and easy to break

In addition, I will add a screw connection structure for him, so that the front and rear parts can be removed during the installation, which will make the production easier

I really like this cross section, Tom.

 

Would Lexan be less brittle?

Beautiful model, Tom. What are the dimensions?
