    Hints and Tips.
    Hi With regards to rusting, try putting some wire wool into a jar with
    vinegar
    do this in a well vented👍 area, then after a few day's place some of the wool onto your model were you think rust would be and leave for a day, https://youtu.be/2HOSb03IOwA. Fred

    Re: clyde puffer
    Thanks for the info Bill👍, still a reasonable but still handleable size at 31". "ripped from softwood and pickled until I could form the bends" I must ask! Malt, wine or apple
    vinegar
    !? 😊 "been into model aircraft but this is more relaxing at least they come home in one piece." After two crashes and one fly-away I too switched to boats/ships around 16! First attempt was my destroyer HMS Hotspur in 1/72 scale - I can swim to rescue her - but I can't fly 😉 She's currently undergoing her 3rd refit or SLEP (Service Life Extension Program)! "will fit brass prop after sea trials" 😮 Would have thought that props would be kinda handy on a sea trial? As a learner 3D printer owner I will be interested to see which details you use it for and HOW! Cheers, Doug 😎
