Post by: RODDERS on September 07, 2008, 10:47:44 am

Hi All ,New to site ....
   Dont know if this is of interest to anyone ,just another answer to a probably already covered tip........NOT TRYING TO TEACH OLD SEA DOGS LIKE YOU LOT!
   Dont know the correct term for the hole where the mooring rope passes thro!!...yeah ,laugh ..see if I care...lol!
   but this is how I trimmed mine ,using a sliver of carefully cut plastic from a HEDEX wrapper (the little lozenge shaped mouldings that the pills are stored in!)

RODDERS,

Never apologise, most Mayhemmers are eager to learn from anyone and everyone.

Some long time ago in the Forum there was a thread on using scrap material when modelling. I contributed the thought that blister packs from pills etc. could be valuable. You have gone one better, thanks.
