  1. Thanks Bob. I'm bookmarking this just in case.... very interesting process.
  2. Beautiful, Nenad. Thanks for posting them. I'm with Carl... it's something I'd love to see in person.
  3. Bill, You might also have a look here.. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/default.php There's a lot of good information there. Edit.. forgot to add this one also: http://www.mini-lathe.com/mini_mill/Main/mini-mill.htm
  4. Richard, I'm not sure what the P/N on mine is... but here's a link to a review I did: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/256-micromark-micromill-review/ It's not an upgrade as such but more of a backyard mechanic kludge. I took off both pulleys and re-machined them on the lathe such that they fit on the opposite shafts from original. I hope that makes sense. If I get some time, I'll pop off the pulley cover and take a picture.
  5. Nice looking catheads, Ulises. (Those are used in getting the anchor back on board the ship.) Looks like you're getting into the fiddly things now.
  6. Paul, What are the bricks made of? For grout, maybe some glue with paint mixed in although I have no idea what would work. I wonder what the railroad guys use?
  7. Very nice work, Bob. I'm with John.. how the heck did you do that?
  8. Nice work on the deck, Denis. It has that slightly weathered look to my eye. I'm happy that it was nothing serious that nailed you. Paint fumes? Some paint hit me hard.
  9. Patrick, this is just more than amazing. That photo with all three decks spread out is beyond comprehension. Just so much detail to see. Congratulations on the chairs. Those are a wonderful touch.
  10. Bill, Try it once you get it and test it. If you get acceptable results, then that's great. If you think a higher speed will help, than the speed upgrade is the ticket. I have the MM Mini which now discontinued and after reworking the pulleys I can see the difference in milling wood at 2500 rpm and 10,000+ rpm. When this thing dies, I would go with the Sherline and speed kit upgrade.
  11. I have had to go back several times for the dolphins. They look carved and the detail is incredible.
  12. No matter how many times I see one your small boats being built, I'm still astounded.
  13. Thanks for the offer. I did get the ANCRE English version of Belle Poule when it was released late last year. It's been a big help.
  14. Tedious to do but beautiful in the end. Well done, Bug. I agree with Jack and I'll add.. Augie would be smiling
  15. Richard, Youtube has several videos of very miniature cannon firing and also RC sailing ships firing. Search for Surprise as if I remember right that will lead you to others. Found one...
  16. I just get done struggling with my rudder and then "bang!" easy rudder straps... I think I'll go outside and kick a shrubbery as I don't want to hurt the dog.
  17. Cathead, You can do it yourself. Go to your very first post and hit "Edit". Then at the next screen hit "Use Full Editor". You can change the title there.
