Martin Having spent a morning trying t breath new life into some 1/1 scale heads that haven't been used for over five years has left me a bit off floaty things at the moment! That's ship's heads for the benefit of Longshanks. ' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Latest path into insanity....... 'I feel the need' for a flag locker I've tried in the past and got no where so a cunning plan was needed. Working around Evergreen strip sizes I've made a start This shows a test piece to confirm the width. Its all about jig a jig This is the cutting jig on the chopper set for cutting the verticals Spacers being used to ensure the correct/constant spacing Two rows completed and the plan seems to be working Right hand side and bottom left off in case of creep. Two rows completed five to go giving 49 pigeon holes 1.7 x 1.7mm and a locker underneath Thanks for stopping by..... Kev 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 As in Austin Powers: "Good God, the fat b*****d left a floater".......................................... or in a previous reincarnation at sea, (at anchor actually), when the sparks went swimming. The spine chilling cry was heard from outboard: "Aghhhhhh,............Who's the moron that used the head and doesn't chew his peanuts", ah,.........the joys of nostalgia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Looks good but we expect no half measures and want to see proper flags being made and then being rolled up and properly secured before insertion into their individual places in the locker.

longshanks Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Happy days.............. Martin you are so demanding I suppose you want something like this One displaying the flags is quite enough, canvas cover pulled down on the other Note for Martin ........... Flags will be painted the correct colours when the time is right Thanks for looking in Kev 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 that is really nice. It looks so simple but I know how difficult it is to get nice square edges, and the fact that you have achieved it with multiple stacks is very impressive - great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 That's right, but with proper flags that can be taken out and unfurled. Thought I was being quite reasonable really! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin I remember Warren asking what the deal was with the "Bog Rolls" in the Photo etch when the "Channel Adversary" thread was running over at Jimbo's place. Just his subtle Aussie way of asking what the hell I was doing with the PE flag locker. Great work Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
