ChrisLBren got a reaction from mtaylor in L'Amarante by marsalv - 1:36 - POF
Great tutorial - Im still stuck on these on my LGV build - which has spacers between the extensions as you know makes it more complex. Nice work !!!!

ChrisLBren got a reaction from druxey in TRE KRONER 1742 by Beckmann - 3"/8' scale - Transom-Model
Nice work - personally I would go with a shellac - my favorite finish - either a blonde or garnet if you want darker. Its so easy to apply and you can make you own mixture using flakes and alcohol.

Keel section is complete (and shortened a wee bit on plan sheet 4 - its one of the only errors in the Mono)- thanks to the Taig for the rabbet, and a lot of hand sanding. Next up the wing transom and tricky stern parts.

ChrisLBren got a reaction from mtaylor in Lathe Question
Still struggling with this decision. I personally believe the Taig Mill is better than the Sherline - our late friend Jim B steered me that direction. Im not sure about the lathe though. The Taig Lathe is half of the price of the Sherline however the Sherline gets better reviews online and has DRO. Hard call - I did sell my Proxxon MF70, Preac Saw, and Unimat to help pay for this purchase. The other route I could go is buy a wood lathe and the Taig for metal work which could be less than the price of the Sherline.

Preparation for the production of frames.

I will probably buy the Taig with the Power feed and long bed to compliment the Taig Mill. I While Sherline has more accessories, Taigs tools are just more robust and solid in my opinion and can be customized with after market parts.

I may end up keeping this one - I love my Taig but for smaller parts it may make sense to hold on to it.

ChrisLBren got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Preac Saw For Sale
Hi Group,
Selling my first table top modeling saw - the Preac. It works great, especially for those wanting to get into scratch building/kit bashing. In fact I built my entire scratch build Chucks Confederacy using it. Please PM me if interested. I use my Byrnes saw exclusively, and this one is collecting dust. It could use a good home.

Hi Group,
As I use my Taig Mill exclusively, this is another tool that needs a home. Works great, however for larger scales - 1/36 and above its a bit small for my needs. Any offers are appreciated via PM

Hi Group,
Great tool I purchased off another modeler on this site and never set up. I am buying a Taig Lathe to compliment my Taig Mill and thought I would offer this one up to a collector. It works great - just needs some clean up. I am not sure if the second motor works. These tools do fetch a decent price on ebay so only serious offers please via private chat. Thanks !
