A quick check on your seal is to put your mask on, cinch down any and all straps and inhale. If the mask collapses, it's sealed. And monitor your breathing while working. If you see moisture inside the mask, you may have a bad seal, especially around your nose. We exhale CO2 and water vapor. I do like Pat's mask that puts a positive pressure inside the mask. The chem gear we used when flying did that. We carried small fan units to over pressurize our systems. Most of it was a firefighter's SCBA gear, routed thru a chemical filter. -
Revell did that a lot, back in the day. Their aircraft were pretty much all box scale. And look at the USS Arizona kit - 1:426 scale. Whazzat?
-
Your shell is looking pretty good, Craig. And thanks for the tip about the Mr. Dissolved Putty.
-
Why did they use a model railroad scale of 1:87? Run a train line onto the pier where the ship is moored?😕
-
Neat little hot rod, Craig. Well done. 👍
-
You're on the right track for the horses, OC. The ones across the road are pretty shiny, when they're clean and dry. The cavalrymen had to keep their horses clean and fit, or they'd become infantrymen. 😉 That slight sheen sounds about right. 👍

Well done, Greg. Big oops.

Great Photo Etched Saw Blades
Canute replied to kurtvd19's topic in NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD - News & Information
That tiny miter box for this razor saw is pretty small. Recommend you screw it down to a larger piece of wood with a pair of flat head screws. Then you can clamp the whole assembly down to your workbench. I think these saws came from the Czech Republic. The aircraft and armor folks have used them for years. I hold/clamp a steel straightedge to a car body and cut against that. Very narrow kerf. -
Rob, I echo your use of these tools. The fine bending tweezers is new to me. I'm putting together an Internet order and those Tamiya tweezers will be at the top of the list.
-
Yep, Gator's Grip is good stuff. 👍

Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
Canute replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I remember my Mom sitting down to dinner with the chicken feet in her soup bowl and my Dad asking her if she was going to eat them. He was a city boy and fresh chicken was a novelty for him. I chalked it up to trying them once and realizing the feet were best left in the soup pot. 😉 -
I'll follow along, too. We'd have car building contests with lots of customization.

Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
Canute replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
You're making great use of your outdoor kitchen, Eric. And dinner looks great.😃 I still remember going to a shop for roaster chicken, processed right there in the store. Mom got everything except the head of the clucker. A lot of it (neck, back, feet, etc.) went into her chicken soup. -
You may want to contact a sign shop. They use stryene sheets for a lot of their work. We have one just across the street from our club and we've gotten sheets from them. And they may have off cuts/remnants, too.

Looks like not much if any print artifacts. Excellent print. For sure, 3D printing is revolutionizing the hobby.

Bugatti Type 35B by CDW - FINISHED - Italeri - 1:12 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Another outstanding build, Craig. 👍👍 -
Wow, nicely done Falcon. 👍 I gave a Lego version to my nephew, once upon a time, for Christmas. We spent the morning putting it together, ignoring all the rest of the goodies he received. And this was 20 years after the original movie.
-
Looks like an interesting build, especially as it's short run characteristics. I think your superior skill and cunning will let you turn out an excellent model. 😉
-
True, Jack, but both (D&S, C&TS) of these now tourist lines were part of a narrow gauge division of the Rio Grande, until the 60s. I have a few videos of these rotaries in action as tourist action. Impressive tossing of snow.
-
Another section of the rabbit hole: D&RGW had 2 rotaries in snow trains of 7 cars. They were based in Chama and Alamosa. Lots of snow in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.
-
Jolle, your details are outstanding and your weathering is superb. I can see why Model Warships and ION gave you the medal. Well done.
-
You can use an external DVD player, connected by a USB cable. But yes, a printed booklet is always welcome.
-
Shame about the decals, but your plow and tender look good. The coal pile looks very good.
-
I'll tag along too. Looks like an interesting build.
