    Scribing Tools

    Found these on Amazon. Looking at Dave’s Chinese boat, I wanted to get as close to matching his scribing template as possible.This looks like a match.

                  Dave showed me a long time ago to practice on a piece of plastic before doing the real thing, as saves you a lot of headache if you screw up. I found this to be very solid advice. Scribing is an acquired art form, and I’m not very talented as far as art goes.

                      Always thought that tiny Skipjack would have been much more popular if it had been offered as a ready moulded kit, or "shock,horror" as a ready to run item- a 'jack-in-a-box'

                          The general public has little regard for 'scale look', as demonstrated by the very well running, tiny 'fish tank' toy subs that are all the rage for those who own suitably sized aquariums. Our fitting-kit to convert the little plastic SKIPJACK kit was a total financial bust. Few use their hands anymore -- I've decided to tuck my head in and enjoy the craft and to tone down the attempts to evangelize the joys of this nearly forgotten Craft of ours. Craftsmanship dies with us.

                              I bought the fittings kit and cylinder and made the little Skipjack. I was more than glad to support the one who can't be named!

                                  Thanks for that. We'll chalk up all our fittings kits as a 'nice try'... no cigar.
