Mobbsie, She looks great. As for the Spitfires and Hurricaines... I believe they're keeping the ME-109's, 110's and the Focke-Wolfe 190's away. If it weren't for them, you'd have to put up with air raid sirens and all that and possibly some Dornier 17's.

So... today's tally.... one "saint", one "his goodness", and one "the spiders are putting on oxygen masks". This sounds like a "B" movie from the 70's... now you know why I bring popcorn.

mtaylor replied to capnharv2's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I took the plastic one and CA'd a chunk of hobby plywood underneath it to stiffen it up. The plastic is very flimsy. -

Microlux Tilt Arbor Saw Problems
mtaylor replied to capnharv2's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Harvey, Your zero clearance is to tight. Loosen the insert screws and move it slighty into the blade from both directions then tighten it such that the blade is dead center in the slot with a tad bit clearance on each side. It's fiddly but that should help. -
Evan, I haven't said anything yet but I have been following along. That's an interesting and challenging idea to show frames. How did you figure out that there was distortion? Just curious on that.

Grant, Looks great... On the tighter bends, apply heat after soaking and while bending. A low wattage soldering iron or an old curling iron (smallest one you talk the Admiral out of or go buy one... and trade for it. ) will help a lot.

Mike, Take look a these two links... http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/getting_started.php?Chapter=GS_MiniMill_01.htm&d=0|2|13 and http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/MiniMillUsersGuide.pdf And there's also: http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_mill/Main/mini-mill.htm Both sites have a lot of information that, while it doesn't apply specifically the Sherline, is very helpful in getting started.

Good to hear you have the lowering of the mast sorted out.... I'd hate to hear that you had to take a chainsaw to either the workshop or the boat.

About the NRG
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.
