Hi Raymond, the Lis Terkol is very interesting Ship to build, i would not recommend it for the Beginner... but if you have built Deans models before then enjoy..  ^^^

the jig is made out of a solid piece of hardend steal, milled and filed to shape, if you find a punch of the size required then of course that can be used...
because the Jig starts of round which converts gradually to a rectangle, you can push the rings over the jig with your fingers.
the brass tube wall thickness was firstly milled down to about 0.2mm so there is not much brass left over to cause a problem when pushing the rings over the jig
once the ring is rectangle and while it is still on the Jig, using a pair of long nosed pliers to squeeze the corners, so they are a lot sharper..
here is a better/larger photo
hope this helped, and of course don't hesitate to ask more questions, i have over 190 photos of my build

First of all thanks for your quick reply Using a block of hardened steel makes sense Though not being a metal worker I do not understand the term milling
I have built many ships/boats over the years including the most recent Trein Maresk theDeans Container vessel other included from various makers Calypso , The Royal yacht brittania , Tanker Brannaren, Tug Teskoa, and the Bismark which took 4.75 years to build-- I always say this will be my last but the enjoyment to build is overwhelming.
In the Deans forum --Deans have posted pics of my finished trein maresk please enjoy  regards

Do you know the term "turning wood" or how dowel is made ??
It's the same principle but with metal, the brass tube was put in a lathe, we're the wall thickness was reduced from 0.5mm to 0.2mm, if you take a close look at the photo and the end of the brass tube you will see this .. ^^^

Nice work on the model.  How did you make the railings?
Does the Liz  Terkol use the same hull as Anna Marie?

Hi Bernard, thanks for your comment..  ^^^
the railings are made from single etched stations with 0,3mm brass rod threaded through...
no the Hull is not the same as Anna Marie, it is a completely different one..

all of these items are in the Kit and also available singular from Deans marine

Thanks. I was unaware of the etched stanchions from Deans Marine. I will get a couple sets of those for my Anna Marie build.

Dear me, I'm also busy with the liz terkol. But this one still differs a bit from yours. Especially the part where the tubes stand up that is well made with the raised edges at the front and at the back of my model, this is not perhaps that I can make this myself. I'm from belgium.
