I would think the connectors would align & tension would be tight enough to hold the modules together? Great work BTW. PaulE

Wow Chris! You’ve certainly made a lot of progress. HMS Tiger is really beginning to take shape. The ship really is starting to emerge from all that wood, fibreglass and epic wiring! Love the thought you’ve put into the usability of the finished model with the removable modules.

Truly stunning work
Cheers
Paul

HI Paul yes she comin into shape an ive made progress on her as if poss im workin on her every day at least 2 hrs worth of work an tryin to make all these modules as you call them removeable ( very good name ) makes it harder to make them removeable than just gluein them but that all the challenges to me an I love doin this kind of work ive had people ask me to build models for them but I wont do it as it would then be like work but I do this for enjoyment so no way thanks for lookin in

HI PaulE the connectors would align & tension all being well but wheather they will be strong enough to hold the modules togeather is another thing as rememeber out on the pond the winds can be quite strong an tiger S/S is quite big an flat so a wind trap so i'll have to make them fit really tightly an see how it goes thanks for your intrest

HI GUYS another small up date but this time on the electronic ive been workin on these electric plugs for days tryin to make some sence of how many wires in what deck level i'll need an where an well this is the result but its still hit an miss as I may have to alter the wirein but for now this will have to do
these plugs are just all power uptakes for just the bridge area with 01 deck an 02 deck

[boatman]

An in this shot ive unpluded two plugs to show they will all unplug an the whole wirein loom will be able to be taken out say in case a wirein joint fails an can also be easysily mended

[boatman]

AN the nxt shot is of the mini plugs called modular connecters against my thumb so they can be seen for size an these will be fitted into 02 deck an there are 20 wires to allow all that I want to work in this area an they will be doubled up in two batches of ten

[boatman]

an in the nxt pics it show these plugs bein made up first all the soldering of the wires

[boatman]

AN one batch of ten done
