David, can you please discuss the proper way of installing the magnetic hold downs particularly those on type vii, ix and xxiii. Those underneath the flat deck are easy. It's the lowers that I have trouble with. I've tried this technique with a Revell aircraft carrier, a magnet under the deck and an inverted L- shaped steel bracket glued to the hull. A lot of trial and error to make sure the bracket is at a proper height for the magnet to latch onto.
How does one glue the lower magnetic foundations so that both magnets are in contact with each other when the hull is closed?Make it simple, make strong, make it work! -

Bob does not have time to dig them out, he's got a business to manage.
Any IT guys out there want to streamline the system???? I would appreciate it, the members here would appreciate it. Someone out there must have the Rosetta Stone.

A while ago Tom and I cataloged most of the forum. Can't say we did the section that is talked about here. And the catalog has not been updated by either one of us since it's creation.
Anyway, here it is....

BTW, I tried to catalog David's 'Today's work' posting, but it's just too damn long and impossible to keep up with it.Last edited by Ken_NJ; 10-29-2022, 10:22 PM.Comment

David and all, a short sort of funny story!:-))
I would like to relate something that makes me a little leery to use magnets. I have a defibrillator/pacemaker in my left upper chest, and Boston Scientific warned me to stay away from high power magnets, microwaves, welding equipment, and such. About a year and half ago I had a whole box of those small magnets actually got to close to my defibrillator/pacemaker! Well, I can tell you it sure screwed things up for a while. My home monitor went off, so I called the Banner Heart Hospital to tell them what happened, and they informed me that the Fire Dept EMS was already in route to my home.
It got to say it was scary for a while until things settled back down to normal! Long story short if you have a pacemaker DO NOT let magnets get to close to the device!
Another lesson learned!!:-))
