We designed this building jig because we needed to ensure that the model doesn't get damaged when we work on its front or rear. The problem is that you end up holding the model between your legs so that you are able to get to the end.
The jig is 250mm long which is long enough for most long HO steam locomotives or coaches. The model bed swivels so that you are able to position the model so that you can work on it comfortably. The model bed also has an endstop at the back that you can move to suit the length of the model.
The lower part of the jig has various compartments for your tools and parts. You no longer need to worry about that tiny little screw or spring going missing.
The jig is supplied in laser cut flat pack kit form. it is supplied with full instructions and you will be able to put it together in about 15 minutes.
The jig has become part of the furniture in our workshop. We all use them because they just make life so much easier. I used to struggle to hold on to the model and work on it at the same time. Now its just a matter of putting the model into the jig, strapping it down with an elastic band and bob's your uncle. You are now free to work on the model with both your hands without having to worry about it falling on the floor (yes I've actually had that happen to me)
