Hi folks
This post will reveal the lack of experience that I have with wooden ship models, but I am getting desperate.
I have completed two models (HMS Pickle and Agamemnon both from Cadecraft) with reasonable results but I am completely at a loss as to how to fix temporary battens to the ribs. I have tried pushing pins in not good as I cannot push them in hard enough. I have tried using a hammer (v small) to knock the pins in, but it is then difficult to get accurate alignment. I have tried screw in plank fixings. but that leaves a lot of holes.
I am sure that I am missing something...any assistance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Am about to launch into the Syren and want to be sure that I have a reasonable chance.
Regards Chris Beale
