My first mill was MicroMark which was basically a Proxxon or a Sieg as I recall. Not bad, not great but suitable for modeling. My current mill is one from LittleMachineShop.com A lot pricier and lot more accurate. Do I need one like that.... not really but it is nice to have and use. Everything is very smooth and precise. BTW, as far as accessories go... I've not had any issue with using the same accessories I got originally and can use them on my LMS machine.

Excellent work. It probably looks even better in person.

Do it as others have done for ratlines... sewing needle. Push it through each vertical line (use a pattern under it on a flat surface or hang it and tape your vertical ropes to it. Saves a lot of knot tying.

Looks great from here, Egilman.

Sandpaper.. even just dip the stick in rubber cement a few times to build up a coating. I also sometimes cut a notch in the then such that I can push from the end of the wood into the saw and also holds down the end a bit. I'll try to get a photo if it's not clear.

Mark, Instead of a pencil, give some thought to using something chopsticks (wood, not plastic). I used the pencil method for a bit until things went messy and the metal ring holding the eraser to the pencil got hit by the blade. I think if I had been standing inline with blede, I would ended up in the hospital for surgery. Instead, I went and sat down to stop shaking.

There's a lot of other articles posted on this today. A quick Google in their news area should show them. I did look at some others, and they all seemed to be the same.

Welcome to MSW, Dion. Allan offered some good suggestions. If you want to refine your search for input, be a bit more specific as to era and "type". Feel free to ask questions in the appropriate area in order to get maximum input.

Welcome to MSW, Dave. Yes, we'd love to see your photos. The Nautical History subforum would be good. It's here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/5-nauticalnaval-history/ There's also our Galleries. The one for this model is: https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/category/4-gallery-of-contemporary-models-from-museums-and-private-collections/

Your New "cautionary tale" posterchild here!

Here's the link for how to do signatures. -
I see it. Interesting model you're building.

To add to what Dennis said, it's not hard to make your own version either. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want it. There's plenty of examples here on MSW especially in the scratch area.

Very true about the fully framed roll cage chassis. Very light compared to the full bodied ones. And then there's stripping out all the fluff from the interior. I ran P/G for a few years.... very light cars. I'll just sit back, keep an eye on the popcorn machine and watch what magic happens.

Welcome to MSW, Evan.

I had one similar to it a long time ago that was about 36" inches long. Used it once.

Rudder painted white?
mtaylor replied to Dave_E's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Starlight is correct, IMO. It's your model and your the captain so it's your choice, Dave. -
To follow on with Roger.... is it possible that those aren't even "boxes" but just side panels for decoration or rudder protection as well as being a "thunder box"?

Ancient anchor found in Yucatan.
mtaylor replied to Eugenio Treviño's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Depends on how one defines "ancient". By some standards, many of us here on MSW are ancient.- 15 replies

Porsche 910 by kpnuts - Tamiya - 1/12 - PLASTIC
mtaylor replied to kpnuts's topic in Completed non-ship models
Sweet. Back when that class of cars still looked like cars with smooth lines an not like the winged beasts of today,. -
Just adding some to the mystery of the "possession"... the book doesn't say anything about where it came from. It was just possessed or maybe "aware? Be careful... from your tale of buying this model... maybe it's has some the big ones "features". LOL. I always thought that car was a bit of a beast (weight wise and size) to be drag car.
