Thank you for all the responses, looks like my hunch was correct, scroll saw first and only if required a band saw. cheers

Hi All, I was wondering if i had space for one which should i go for, a bad or scroll saw? I would be used for building scratch cross sections . band saw option http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-hobby-series-hbs200n-bandsaw-102266?nosto=productcategory-nosto-1 or scroll saw http://www.axminster.co.uk/proxxon-dsh-2-speed-scroll-saw-702063 cheers

Hi All, I am thinking of getting a smaller lathe than my faircut junior as its a little too big to keep moving on and off the bench, what would people recommend, my thoughts are the older unimat SL or the cowells 90, i have been looking at both on ebay, They would only be for turning smaller items, what are peoples thoughts and experiences, as i seem to find few users of the cowells cheers Ian

Cheers I like the idea of the carter stabaliser wit an 1/8 blade. To me this appears to remove the need for a dedicated scroll saw

HI All, I am thinking of getting a band-saw, however need some advice from users and owners Option 1, from a number of supplier http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-hobby-series-hbs205n-bandsaw Option 2 again from a number of suppliers http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-hobby-series-hbs250n-bandsaw The the 3rd option the Proxxon http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/27172.php?list looking at the review of the proxxon it looks like it would do the job, but it is small and has no fence. More than willing to look at other options that i have missed. cheers ian

Cheers all. I like the idea of homemade

I do something very similar, cheap but effective

Now that I have my Byrne's disk sander it has become obvious to me that dust and its pitfulls needs to be sorted. Not to mention I share the workshop with the admirals glass making. What do others use for their dust extraction? Currently it is only dust that is my concern but I am sure chips will be creates in due course. Regards Ian
-
Well the next essential step has been taken, well not quiet essential but nice step at least. I have had other model disk sanders and either had issues around build or lack of dust extraction. This seems from the reviews fits the bill, and must say as a former model engineer extremely well made and smooth operation. tomorrow it gets dusty.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
