Whilst modeling the various buildings for my 'plonk' I needed a method that ensured near perfect perpendicular walls whist at the same time holding them in place as the glue dried. I had quite a few old Tri-ang magnets in my spares box so used them as in the picture below on the Scalescenes staithes. Ian Attached files
, I'm sure I've got a steel plate somewhere, and maybe worth a punt on some bigger Neodyium magnets Great tip Ian Paul
G`day Ian, I`m quite attracted to that idea.!!! It`s poles apart from other methods I`ve seen. .......my highest rating and well deserved for lateral thinking. http://www.clickGormo
Excellent idea. Must get myself some magnets now. My usual method is to use Lego as a set square, as I can build the square to any height to suit the individual models being built. Cheers, Gary.
full of good of ideas, Gary's idea of Lego combine with Paul's metal plate add Ians magnets and some complex angles could be archived between us all I think we could even build a model railway
I think the Lego idea is a guudun, especially when building card models, the only thing I would be worried about is if building plastic kits the solvent leaked through to the blocks and stuck every thing together! Pete.
Found it Twas a steel plate with 4 tapped holes to take alluminium angle or bar. Toto got to play with it today Used magnets to hold the card down, and spring clamps to hold the card to the alluminium angle Paul
Hi Paul useful bit of kit... I also got some of those springy clippy thingys ... keep em away from Toto they can be lethal in the wrong hands. Ian
