Hi all, I was thinking of putting some form of weight in the hull of the boat to give the model more of a quality feel When handled plus makes it more stable on the shelf. I guess in the old days people used lead but I presume there is an alternative these days. Can some one recommend best weight options to glued in the hull?
 
HI Carl pour some resin in the hull its quite heavy but let the smell out first for a few days

Carl,
I've used loose change - pennies & 2p coins epoxied together. Alternatively, a plastic box constructed around the coins. A use for all that shrapnel that wears your pockets out !

Sounds good, Ive just ordered some and will see what I can mix with it, old nuts and bolts or something from the garage .

I must admit I don’t get a lot of change these days. Pretty much use the card for everything. It’s been about 10 years since I least looked at my bank account. I leave that to the missus.

If you saved those pennies and tuppences you'd soon have enough for the bus fare Dave! Are you too young for a bus pass then?

Peter,
they keep on moving the goalposts for a bus pass! Like the State Pension - it keeps on being upped by a year!

I've got one Dave , used it twice , think the bus was older than me, most uncomfortable ride .
 
I find pennies and twopences very useful as bases for my 28mm gaming figures. They are very accurately made, ideal thickness, and extremely hard wearing....not very useful as coinage though....
 
WELL they wont let me have one so i'll stick to my car as Dave said they keep movin the goalposts an alterring the dates
