This past week as seen some rather winterish weather here in the UK and we got a fair share of the white stuff and the minus temps.. Due to a few family issues i decided to make a temp work area in the back bedroom with a piece of left over ply and some 34mm x 34mm timber. I just cut the timber length of the ply drew a line length ways on the ply and screwed the ply to the timber. I then sat the ply on an old work mate and tightened it.. Holds a treat until i get sorted.. Ant62 attached the following image(s): Building.

Always good to have a work area you don't have to pack away at the end of each build session... Look nice and tidy just now but, will it stay that way.... … Looks good... Regards Alan

Had to take the cls timber back today every was warped once i slit the pack infact so where so bowed you vould have run a pig through the gap when you put two together Ant62 attached the following image(s): Building.

Looks a darn sight clearer than my workroom (currently undergoing yet another re-organising!) By the way, " I then sat the ply on an old work mate and tightened it.." Didn't your old work mate mind?

Doesn't take long at all for a workspace to become cluttered, especially when building ships. I tend to have a clear up after every build session although can't say I'm terribly disciplined on that front....  Regarding your build, have serious reservations regarding your build jig as I don't see any longitudinal support without which you could still end up with a banana boat. You may find this topic useful in ensuring your build jig is appropriate.... https://forum.model-spac...spx?g=posts&t=20425
