I decided that having been given a pin pusher with the 'free' toolkit I might as well try it. I decided to pin all the nails for the lower deck in place before attempting to position the decking on the model.

I had no trouble using the tool, the pins stayed in and I found I could accurately place them in the deck.

Much more fun was when Ben, my 4 yr-old grandson, came round and we worked as a team! I held the pusher in place and he provided the downwards force to push them in.

Once I got the nails in place I then used a modelling hammer to finish nailing the decks onto the model.
