Bindy Posted February 24, 2014 #211 Posted February 24, 2014 Hi All Cut the beer can up and bent it to the shape I wanted, put the flag on and coated it with the fabric stiffener, left it over night. Took it of today and it just went flat :angry: :angry:. Put it back on and coated it up with diluted PVA wood glue, left it for 4 hours and coated it up again. Will see what happens tomorrow. If I don't post a photo you will know I have hung myself ha ha. Denis. Somebody with an evil sense of humour would ask that if you hung yourself would you go flat too? Lucky I am not so evil . I really do hope you flag worked out just how you wanted it though! DenPink, CaptainSteve, avsjerome2003 and 3 others 6 Quote Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72

DenPink Posted March 31, 2014 Author #239 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Brian Yes Brian you are correct the planking on the SOS is scribed. It is to late for me to make my own planks for the SOS as all the cannons and rope coils etc are glued to the decks so will leave it as is. But will be making my own planks on my next build. Will see how the Byrnes table saw goes first and then if all OK it may be another order for a thickness sander. Thank you for your comments. Denis.
