OK. My turn to start a topic to have a moan/question
Out of the 5 issues received so far, I seem to have 4 wooden parts which are flat/straight and all the remainder have varying degrees of warp/twist when checked on a flat and level surface...
As an example photo posted by another builder here, if you look at the 2nd photo on post #1 of Rob T's Sovereign builb (http://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4951), part #8 can be seen to be curving away from the centre keel spacer... My part #8 hard an even greater curve.
As a car mechanic of many years, I know and understand the value of parts that fit right 1st time. As a result, I can't decide if I'm just being too finicky or just unlucky...
Currently, my wet tile press is working wonders on batch #2 of parts for straightening and my dry tile press is keeping batch #1 flat post straightening and gluing.
There isn't any problem with my build being held up slightly with this added work, (my name isn't Roy

) just wondering if this is normal...
Moan over - off to check how batch #2 is doing in the hopes I can glue them tonight and start batch #3 off in the wet tile press
