@Mick, Jese and Chris.

Thanks all for the opinions. I have Amati kell clamp already and it's great for smaller builds but I'm looking for something that will help with longer ships like Vasa. I will look at the other discussion later. I don't want steal Mick's diary to start discussion that is already ongoing.

Regards,
Arek

Hi thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated, Hull is now built up to pack 2, no fit issues just odd very miner adjustments to get good fit, bent bits at front I found needed good couple hrs soaking before they bend easy,I just formed them between finger and thumb till they sat on all formers with no gaps,clamped them lightly in position over nite to dry out, before gluing next day, the 3 bits on the back were also soaked in water, to induce the slight curve on the back.enioying this one, goes together so well,cheers mick.BigGrin
