Gunports almost done,a few more left
Thank you!!
Yes - Very clean and accurate work
In the first view, it is somehow uncommon to work on a "waterline"-model - but it is looking like a very clever idea
BTW: I am using for such work (paper on wood) a rubber-gum glue - I prefer "Fixo-Gum" from Marabu - you can remove the paper easily and the rest of glue with rub with the fingertip

Hello all
All the gunports are ready to install the gunport frames,first I started of glueing in the horisontal frames

The vertical gunport frames takes a little bit longer to glue them in s I have only 4 machinist clamps and I need to wait till the glue dries a bit .
Those "weird clamps" look very useful for many conditions. Where did you get them?

I really like this way of inserting gun ports and gun port linings. As the linings are pre-cut you know they are correct, so if something doesn't fit you can make the required adjustment. This way all ports are 100% aligned, same size and symmetrical. Nice!

Those machine clamps look nice and small for this delicate work, can you give us a source?
I bought them many years ago,Can’t really remember but probably from Model Expo
Oh the ravages of time on memory. It does provide a good topic for some research to find them. Rich

Thanks for the USA link. Seems a bit spendy at the per clamp price where several may be needed at the same time. . . but it could be worth the cost to solve a problem. Rich

These are the final steps to finish up with gun ports linings.
After finishing up the gunport lining I had another round of sanding inside and outside, meanwhile, I built the next part of the jig and placed the upper deck upside down on the top of the jig to build the lower level of the hull.

Nice to have a support to work right side up or upside down....

Until watching your log I had not realized how many jigs may be required to build a model. This is a lesson in progress with your skillful work. Richgreat progress, well done
