Hi all
After much interesting discussion yestaday on the above I have found a new use for the magnifyer I dont know if anyone else has mentioned this but here goes and I hope it makes sense .Take off the magnifying glass section and in the bulldog grip place a pencil keep the hull in the jig and on a flat surface measure out where the bottom of the gun port will fall and using the mag stand as a waterline marker you can run it along and mark out where all the gun ports will fall measure up 12mm and repeat and you have the dimensions everything parrellel Hope this makes sense would be interested to hear other members views

BigGrin secure a pencil to appropriate length of wood even if u drop it, its still going to be correct height
