Unfortunately i looked at several others assembling these parts on you tube today and they have no problem at all which makes me realise the problem is me. they do however show these minute pieces of PE fitting into slots in the base but on mine the slots are not big enough for some reason. Even squashing the tang on the parts with smooth pliers i cant get the tangs anywhere near into the slots. I think this will have to move away from an accurate model of a Flower class Corvette to a generic escort ship and i will have to provide ammo in a rack or make some other means of storage. the Fence round the gun platform is also causing me problems as its just flat PE posts strung with rope or in this case it will have to be a very fine black fishing line , maybe 2lb breaking strain. I think i might try and remake the posts in brass rod to give them rigidity as you can imagine a little thin strip of PE has zero integrity and even less surface to apply glue . I honestly think i could bend it by blowing on it let alone hanging a thread on it
