Just figured out a good way of safely storing the made up sections of brass, such as issue 49 and so on.....I have glued all the parts on mine and put it back inside the plastic bag it came in, then selotaped it up.
This means that if any part does come off, it will still be in the bag along with the rest of it, and not lost on the floor, or in the storage box!

Good Idea. I was thinking of having them just sitting in the bottom of the hull until ready to install.
Could also use a plastic box that can be sealed up, or put the plastic bag, (with the brass parts inside the bag) in the box and put the lid on. Then they have protection from bumps as well.

Having made up the first one, it struck me that as it seems unlikely that any part can be glued on for some time (mine need to be painted and decks fixed first), then I am going to have a box full of brass bits with no idea what goes where!!!
One solution I think would be to use an indelible pen to mark on the backs the issue number to which it belongs, so at least it can be recognised and seen where it has to go, else complete and utter mayhem!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Plastic bags issued by the banks for coinage make excellent storage.

I am using a cd-r felt tip pen to mark the back of my brass parts, issue number and part number. You can get these from PCworld or WHS, cheep as well.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you seal the bag up again before putting in the tin ?

Skyfire, I put the numbers on the back side of the brass parts. When glued in place the numbers will be against the wooden walls and not show.

Sounds like a good idea, I wasn't sure what to use to seal the bags up again. Think I was going to use standard masking tape. |
