Features:

Simplified construction:

  1. Full instruction manual
  2. Hardwood base and baize

(To complete this model, superglue, brass polish and lacquer will need to be purchased separately and although not essential, the use of a table mounted soft jaw vice to hold the components during work is recommended.)
  • Accurate water-jet cut components are removed from retaining sheets
  • Locating tags are removed, then edges squared
  • Flat components are sanded, polished then lacquered (if required)

  • The self-jigging components are glued together
  • The struts are shaped by hand, cut to length then glued to the assembly
  • The hardwood base is sanded, stained and varnished to taste
  • Assemble and admire
(The approximate construction time for this model is about 30 hours. However, this figure is dependent upon finish required and individual ability)
