  1. Hi John, I haven't looked in before now much to my loss. Great model of an unusual modelling subject. Ypur model looks great and I love all the additional detail you have added. cheers Pat
  2. Even more impressive when noting at 1:72 - are you doing the same on the other model at smaller scale again Ed? cheers Pat
  3. Hi Keith - as an Aussie this made me smile - Melbourne (even this far south of the equator) often gets to high 30s and even 40s on occasion Very nice work with your mill - I just wish I had your tooling skills as there are so many jigs I wish to make. cheers Pat
  4. That grey did the trick Tecko - a nice way to blend the scene cheers Pat
  5. Ditto Druxey - your craftsmanship is of a very high standard. cheers Pat
  6. A much better result Mark, the new ones look very good. cheers Pat
  7. Great attention to detail Greg; enjoying following this build. cheers Pat
  8. Hi Doug - signature probably in the signature block and hidden - I find having the signature blocks on wastes too much screen space. Sorry I should have thought of that. Thanks for your continued feedback as I have continued to remain interested in this option (CNC). As Mark points out, CNC could be valuable for repeated efforts, or as you point out for some of the more intricate parts. I must admit I have wasted quite a few pieces by inadvertently (read a lack of skill) not resetting the part correctly for the next step in my manual processes. At this stage I am still trying to learn (and relearn) too many other things than take up G Code and I am not sure my blood pressure would withstand the frustrations I will follow your efforts with interests though. cheers Pat
  9. Very nice work Karl, a great production set-up to use if not using a mill. A fearsome battery you have assembled. cheers Pat
  10. A very nice model of a working trawler Denis. You have detailed this one very nicely. cheers Pat
  11. An interesting analysis Heronguy (name? - sorry I hate using avatar names but I acknowledge privacy is a personal choice also). I went through the DRO vs CNC analysis when I purchased my Sherline also and the DRO won out mainly due to the cons you point out. I have found that except for a very few tasks most can be achieved with a DRO with some care and patience. The two main drivers for my choice were the amount of time I expended on learning yet another skill and, I would still end up with a number of failures etc due to not programming correctly. I therefore went manual, with the assistance of the DRO, to do the jobs I do. When it came down to it it was simple maths and economics: - how often in a build do I use the mill? - how long would it take me to set up the job (for both)? - does the cost differential warrant this? That said, if you have a CNC and mastered G-code; and even better if you can draw the 3D object and transfer/translate to G-code then it is certainly quicker and more efficient to use CNC. Another benefit I suppose is that you could achieve outputs with CNC with far less accessories such as tilting tables, compound cutters (taper accessory) etc. cheers Pat
  12. Thanks to tecko for the gif. I am afraid there is no going back for you Denis. cheers Pat
  13. Great photos and even better memories for you and the girls Dave. cheers Pat
  14. You've done this before haven't you Looks really effective - can't wait to see the water added. cheers Pat
  15. The netting size , look and feel appear right Denis. Cannot comment on the positioning or 'how it lays on deck' not having worked on trawlers. cheers Pat
  16. Close call - a bit too close beneath the load An interesting diorama story being displayed. cheers Pat
  17. Very nicely finished and displayed model Maury; she looks great. cheers Pat
  18. Perfect - that looks so 'right' - nice attention to detail. cheers Pat
  19. Terrific result on those funnels Dan; they look very good - you have manged to capture the intricacy of those 'beasts' even at scale. cheers Pat
  20. Superlatives fail me with your continued impressive work at this scale Ed - I learn so much each time you post. cheers Pat
