Stable, adjustable support for larger model ships.

The Advance Hobby Cruiser is a large, adjustable building jig designed to support longer model ships while keeping both hands free for assembly, painting and detailed work. Four independently positionable hull supports provide stable, evenly distributed support across the model.

Multiple Support Configurations

Two support-arm sizes are included, allowing you to configure the Cruiser for different hull widths and profiles. Each support can be positioned independently, adjusted to match the angle of the hull and lined with self-adhesive foam to help protect the model’s surface.

Extended Two-Section Design

The Cruiser uses two base sections joined securely with the included connecting plates and hardware. This creates an extended working area with four support points to distribute the model’s weight and provide greater stability during detailed work.

Suitable for selected model vessels in scales from 1:72 to 1:350

Designed for Larger Model Vessels

Ideal for many larger model ships and submarines, including selected 1:72 to 1:350 scale vessels. Compatibility will depend on the model’s actual length, width and hull shape.
