I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Image Comments jgood 15-Feb-21 23:56 Starting the wings. edtherenderman 17-Feb-21 15:32 The magnetic build board is interesting to me. How well does this work? I've been using T-pins forever, but if this works as well, I may think about switching over. Don C 17-Feb-21 16:48 I was wondering the same thing. bobgood 18-Feb-21 11:33 ....basically a metal work board with those small black magnets which hold work firmly in place without pins. bobgood 18-Feb-21 11:38 ....quite a "natty" little system. Not sure if it can be used on larger models. I thinks James has a board only about 20 x 30 inches. bsadonkill 18-Feb-21 17:12 Looks like your doing a fine job of it! You can go down to the local hardware store and buy a larger sheet. You just need a larger flat surface to set it on and more magnets. For building a box fuselage with squares, I would rather use pins and tacks. I like magnets for keel and bulkhead style fuselage. jgood 18-Feb-21 18:28 Ed, it has advantages and disadvantages, as everything. On the plus side, it's really secure, and I like that the magnets are not 'points', so they spread their load over a larger area. No holes in your model. They hold plans flat. Less chance of glue going through pin holes in the wax paper to your plan. The magnets are also nice and square, so you can put two vertically with a rib or former between them, which will be absolutely perpendicular to the board - really nice feature! jgood 18-Feb-21 18:29 On the minus side - you do have to be careful with them around gentle structures... Knock a few over, and you can destroy stringers, etc. BriandKilby 24-Feb-21 07:03 where do you get your set of magnets and board from james? jgood 24-Feb-21 19:11 Not sure, Brian. They were a birthday gift, 15 years ago, I think! Please sign in to comment on this image.
