  1. Have a look at Atlantic Models too. Peter Hall used to design a lot of WEM kits and he is quick on delivery.

    Longshanks - Kev

    So sorry to hear this news Dan, I remember Longshanks very well, a sad loss for everyone!
  3. There is a 3D print site, the name escapes me for now but as soon as I remember I'll post it! ☺
  4. Thinking I could strip and rebuild a Kawasaki ZZR1400 in 6 months. It took 2 years!
  5. Ray, I've been looking and asking around these past weeks since you posted, other than what you have already found, there is nothing else. I was kind of hoping that someone else would have a lead on a club that I could join myself. All the best, Jockster, Worcester.

    Varnish

    On more than one occasion I have moved into a house where the previous owner has varnished the kitchen with acrylic, always takes days to remove that rubbery crap and revarnish with cellulose based. Always a better finish. Don't know yet if it improves fish!
  7. Every day is a school day! Many years ago, back in the 80s, I had a jigsaw that had a variable stroke, but not variable speed, lent it out and never saw it again, it was heavy and great for cutting aluminium. Cannot remember who made it.
  8. I forgot to say, you should be able to change the angle of the base plate so that you can cut chamfers, always check that you have the plate at 90° to the blade for normal cutting.
  9. I certainly agree with you on the sealing washers on the Tamiya extra thin bottles, pure PITA.
  10. The one on top will be the speed of the cutting action, 1 for slow, 10 for fast. The one on the side will be for the length of the cutting stroke, 1 for short, 6 for long. There are many types of blades, for woods and plastics to metals and different lengths to, choose carefully and trying various speeds and cut strokes and you will have a very useful diy tool. There should also be a guide plate too, like a T shaped rule that fits forward of the blade under that black thumb screw on the base plate. This helps with producing parallel cuts. Hope this helps.
  11. I'm gutted, having read his thread I rechecked the references and now have to reverse a second propeller, it took me days to do the first one! Great thread though, I never noticed the speaker boxes on cäsar turret!
  12. Hi folks, further to the above, although the wood deck is a perfect fit all over, there are two mystery panels that I just could not place. Trumpeters deck has been produced with a planked section under the two 10.5cm twins in the middle, either side of the funnel. I can find no reference to this on Scharnhorst throughout her life so it gives me some spare bits for when I tackle aft fire control modifications. I will just have to make the 'spoked' steel deck pattern to match the other four gun mounts. Hope this helps.
  13. Pillboxes, not the concrete ones, from chemists and poundshops for organising seven day medications, for tiny bits these organisers usually have five or six individual closeable compartments per day times seven days.
  14. Brachial neuritis, it's a real bugger, cannot do anything when it hits, strong painkillers and the constant movement from driving a forklift were the only thing that would cure me, no models for months at a time. However, I am desicated to the hobby so I only accept it as a holiday! Desicated, all dried up, no need to correct that!
