I got my next batch of Issues this morning but as I was going through the site . I do believe I have made a few errors on the build , I did not notice these when building , but after looking at the other builds, I could have a problem or 2 .
Firstly this here
I may just have positioned the structure wrong or I have a kink in the deck , I am considering steaming the base of the stucture and then fixing it to the deck with bands in the hope that it will adhere to the shape , I would love to hear your thoughts on this solution or any other you may have .
Secondly while browsing ,I liked the idea of swans and afkmatrix decking , though i do not have the equipment to achieve the same results, so I resigned myself to the printed deck . Then when going through the site. I see you could get laser cut decking from hatchette ;D which I would love to have a bash at 8-)and the letter was posted today requesting they send it out . This is when I have discovered the problem as you will see from the photos my brass etched parts are not high enough on some sides of my ship and the decking edges will be seen .
I think I will need to remove the brass and refix it but it was fixed with 2 part epoxy and I was thinking of trying steam or a hot iron if i can get the tip in to heat it . Is there any other way of taking them off ? Last resort would be to try and get all the parts again for the aft superstructure which might be a solution ?
I am open to any and all sugestions .Ohh has anyone recieved laser cut decking from Hatchette? As from reading the threads I know a few of you were going to ask for them ?
