Hi All More done. After marking out the screw lines a trazillion    1mm holes at around 4mm apart were drilled all over the top surface rear sides and transom. The screws will be represented by 1mm brass wire cut into around 3mm lengths using a mini guillotine. Im currently inserting said brass into there homes right now. More soon.

Looks a long and laborious task Andy, but I'm sure it will give a fabulous look to the hull when finished.

Hi All Got all the pins in now just lots of tidy up to do before the clear coat is added. For those who may be interested from start to finish for this was:- Working out correct runs, widths and marking out 10 hours. Drilling all the holes 10 hours. Cutting the pins and filling the holes 11 hours. Brass wire used 4 metres. More soon.

Well err thats some time spent on just the holes and the pins. Then you have the rest of the kit you have done and to come.
Thats alot of hours Andy. Well done mate done a great job on them and the runs are perfectly straight.
