replacement X-ACTO blade #30
mtaylor replied to Peanut6's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
The nice thing about planes is that blades can be sharpened many time before they need to be replaced. There are exceptions as I have a couple that look nice (ebony) but the blades are crap and don't hold an edge and there are no replacements. So they just get looked at. -
Welcome to MSW, MangoFox.

Allen, check this one out: https://www.animatedknots.com/complete-knot-list As a handy reference, bookmark this site as it's an excellent resource: http://www.boat-links.com/boatlink.html I know there's other sites for knots as there have topics on knot tying listing sites. Perhaps do a search.. keywords: rigging, knots.

Good thing he wasn't taller then. You're doing some seriously wonder work, OC. I can't wait to see everything set up.

I quite agree with what Cathead suggested. Open a log on your Constellation and add the ship's boats.

Chris is spot on about the cable. Reloading though before the mounts changed was problematic in that the pilot had to stand up, hold the stick between his legs while he changed the magazine. Belt fed guns were a vast improvement.

Sweet looking little bird, Chris.

Wow... that's strange as if it were a system glitch, there would be more saying something. Then again... who know...?

I did LEDs in my Constellation build. It's in a case and the 10 year old case has LED lights which are failing and luckily, I can remove the LED fixtures and replace. The ones in the ship only get turned on when there;'s company. LED's do fail and replacement inside a model is almost impossible. The old grain of wheat bulbs had even a shorter lifespan.

That is strange. I don't know if there is a setting for that or not nor have I found any that would affect that. PM Chuck. Maybe he can help.

F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale
mtaylor replied to Egilman's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Lou is right. Hanging out in the breeze from the spinning fan overhead. Can't speak for Lou we had boiler plate on the floor at the gunner posts and a sheet hanging under the gun. Crude, but effective. No flack jackets here. We had bullet bouncers but hot and heavy. Most didn't wear them. Even the flack jacket was hot limiting. There was armor on our birds over the engines. Speed is life, true. But flying down at tree top level at 100 mph usually didn't give them time to even raise a gun. Higher altitudes, yes... nasty at times.. -
Ben, is this on a PC or handheld? Check your screen settings and on PC in the settings for most browsers is a "zoom" setting with percentage. On some sites I have to go like 125% or more because of the extreme small fonts which wipes out the sidebar here at MSW.

At that time, aerodynamics in motor vehicles was still in it's infancy, much as it was for aircraft. Stanley may have gone onto greater things if the crash hadn't happened and if there were better safety mechanisms for the engine and boiler. It didn't help that having a few boiler explosions in customer vehicles occurred also. Getting a good head of steam up took awhile also which the IC engines didn't have.

I'll just say that I'm in total agreement with EG.

Brass can be worked by hand and a Dremel type tool. But as others have suggested.. styrene or wood. There's also 3D printing. I believe Shapeways (among many others) may list some. As for doing them in brass, you might go the Scratch Area and using the search feature, use "brass", "anchors", and maybe "solder" . You should get a list of hits that show how others have done them.

Great looking model.

Welcome to MSW, Lee. Here's a link to our Database which has articles on interpreting plans. Not videos but they will help. https://thenrg.org/resource/articles

I must be losing my marbles.... I thought these were deck chairs when I first saw the pic. The Italians did like their comforts on this ship but probably not those. Beautiful work.

Looks great from here, EG. Doesn't look like a shiney new bird but one with some flying time on it. I do like that look. -
Review: Worx WX106L cordless Rotary tool
mtaylor replied to mtdoramike's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I moved this to the tools area. Just add your review to this topic and add "review" to the title. Looks to be an interesting tool and yes, I know those words are the kiss of death to the credit card. -
Hi John, welcome to MSW.

That photo has a "wow" factor all it's own, Keith. Between the lighting and resolution and build skills, it's just incredible.
