Building Slip B397
A building slip for models up to 90 cm long.The notched keel support is screwed to the baseplate. Two guide blocks, one permanent and one adjustable to match all sizes, secure the positioning of the keel. A wooden rod ensures that the foundation is stable. The middle piece (square) slides back and forth and is useful in positioning the frames at right angles.
Part No: B397
having studied this cradle,I needed something to hold a planked hull, so I thought I give this a try. when it arrived I was surprised how much work is required,it is in fact a kit. the following pics tell the story.
the base is mdf,the rails are lime(I think)the rest is 6mm. ply.there are many configurations to fit most hulls,so far so good.
