Hi All, Still haven't received my issues 7, 8 9 & 10 yet and they were posted last Thursday. Did miss a recorded delivery today was hoping that was it, but from what I've read here looks like Std Parcels is the norm! P.S. Now interested to know what the recorded item was, not expecting anything else.

No sign of mine yet, but they've always been a little behind everyone else's deliveries! benny wrote:still waiting for mine hopefully tomorrow...can anyone shed some light on the subject of why it is wise not to glue the ribs yet..surely they fit where they fit..if theres a thread for this i apologise but i cant find it Its so that the tops all line up properly for when you'll be putting the decking in - best to leave unglued at present.

Wahoo! My 7-10 arrived too. Can start the build now that we've got that last keel section. Like someone else mentioned, my Pin-Pusher shaft is bent. Very odd considering its been stored in the aluminium case. Quentin Tarantino - Hallowed Be Thy Name!

Received mine today to, although the keel section suffered from damage in transit. Have been on the dog and bone to CS and replacement part is being sent. Not to sure about the plank bender? it looks like a guillotine of some sort and I guess to bend the planks, one has to grip it and then drag it through the jaws until the reqired bend is achieved can anyone put me right plse?

Hi Tiswas....it's a stage crimper...crimp move the wood a little then crimp again...so it causes the wood to curve...i tried it and it works.....best soaking the wood first ....then do the crimping.....finishing with a pull through with a very hot steam iron..or hot planking tool..imho....

TIS You have a flat jaw & a blade place plank between them squeeze handle This will make a cut on one side of the plank the closer the cuts the bigger the bend u can achieve) Advise to practise on some spare bits of planking to get used to applying pressure etc I have used them before whether correctly or not i am sure i will find out soon

And mine has now arrived (7,8,9,10). Came with the toolbox - nice box, and some good tools, but already bought most of them from the local model shop. Oh well, I now have backups.
