Hi All,  Have just purchased these in my local Tesco for use on my Victory build. They come in boxes of 25 for about £2.50 a box. Two boxes will make 33 clamps and leave you with some spare springs. These are binder clips originally but with a couple of minutes of your time turn into miniature planking clamps. This is what you get (and yes there`s the penny shot)Pic 1 Three binder clips make two clamps (plus one spare spring) Remove both wire arms from one clip (one shown)Pic 2 Place the wire arm inside the top of a complete clip and a clip becomes a clamp.Pic 3 How it works. Great when planking the unsupported rib sections.Pic 4 Hope this is useful. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

To improve the grip, use your needle file to roughen the "lips" of the clamps. I use them on my Sots and it works like a charm. "Rather try and fail than had failed to try".Sovereign of the Seas Model Space forum: Marcel's build
