I did not have problems crimping the clamps. I bought the crimping tool they have on the store and works well.

Did you solve your problem with the transom?

Ah, so I gather that the "Taj Ma Chook" is all completed now! ;)

 

Good to hear you also had a positive experience with Cornwall Model Boats - that certainly reflects my own experience. If the figures aren't the right size for this build, there's always the next one, or the next, or...............

 

Planking seems to be going well. Don't forget that steam can be really useful for bending planks in addition to soaking. Any old steam iron will do - just not the one you are about to press your nice new white shirt with!

Hi.

The Mermaid is coming along very nicely.

The BIG hammer is a little worrying. :)

Have you got a name.. I don't want to call you a silly Moo if you make a mistake :) lol.

 

Keep up the good work ans we shall see a excellent model appear.

 

Regards Antony.

Edit... Unless you name is Moo. Of course :)

:) the hammer is the smallest one I have at the minute, was my grandfathers from when he was a mattress maker. It's pretty light, only about 3in wide.

 

As for name, it's Leanne... 'Moo' has no connection to Alf Garnet ;) rather my last name - Cowan... Took some wag at University to finally pin me with a bovine reference!!
