BUILDING
A "LIFT" MODEL IS MODELING AT ITS BEST
JAC
MODELS REVISIT'S THE OLD "LIFT" METHOD OF BUILDING
SHIP AND BOAT MODELS. ALL MODEL BUILDERS (BEGINNERS AND
PROFESSIONALS) CAN ENJOY AN EASY TO BUILD MODEL. USE YOUR
-SKILL AND BE PROUD OF THE RESULTS. LEAVE PLASTIC AND
PLANK-ON-FRAME BEHIND. GO FOR BALSA WOOD.
BUILD
AN OUTSTANDING MODEL.
This
method was used by early shipbuilders to develop hull
lines for many famous ships. JAC Models Adopted this old
proven method to produce the kits.
BUILDING
PROCEDURE.
The
kits come in two ways to build a model. One is cutting
out the shapes from scribed balsa wood sheets and the
other is removing the shapes from precision cut balsa
wood sheets. The kits contain drawings, a bill-of-material
describes each piece together. The construction notes
give the step-by-step sequence of construction. The painting
guide gives the paint manufactures name and color serial
numbers. (Paint not included.)
DRAWINGS
ARE THE KEY.
The
kits include Assembly and Template drawings (22"
x 17") for the larger models. Smaller models combine
the Assembly and Template Drawings. The Assembly Drawing
identifies each part with a piece number and details for
putting the pieces together. The Template Drawings include
specific details Tor each piece. The drawing* are to scale
and full model size.
MISTAKES
ARE EASILY CORRECTED.
If
you make a mistake, all you have to do is cut the piece
from another piece of balsa wood sheet. the "lift"
method is more thank gluing plastic parts together, it
is using your skill and ability. The Shape of the model
unfolds as you stack the "lifts" together.
COMPLETED
MODELS.
The
completed model is a show piece and is mounted on it's
own stand that is build with the model. These models can
easily take their place on a mantle piece or desk. many
models offered by JAC Models are historic ships and boats
and some are of present day vessels.
