The Billings Building Slip (Model B397) is an essential tool for model ship builders, designed specifically to aid in the precise construction of wooden ship kits up to 90 cm in length. Ideal for both beginners and experienced model makers, this robust building jig ensures accuracy and stability throughout the build process.
Constructed from durable materials, the building slip features a notched keel support that is securely screwed into the baseplate. This keeps the ship's keel perfectly aligned, which is crucial for accurate hull construction. Two guide blocks—one fixed and one adjustable—allow you to centre and secure the keel for different model sizes.
A sturdy wooden stabilising rod provides additional support, while the sliding square centre piece enables precise positioning of frames at perfect right angles. This ensures each frame is aligned correctly for a professional-quality build.
