CNC Desktop Router Reviews
Nirvana replied to tmj's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
I don't have sort of CNC experience, but after watching some videos it seems to be a fair entry level machine. There were some well-founded negativity, of areas that could had been better designed. But overall for 600 dollars it seems like a fair investment for hobby purpose. -
Only question is the scale 1:72. Is it based on the big original model? The model, which took three months to construct, weighed over 25 long tons (25 t), measured 65 feet (20 m) in diameter and 20 feet (6.1 m) high, and used compressed air hover pads for up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) of hover-height movement around the set

Mini self contained airbrush
Nirvana replied to Bill Hudson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I would suggest to go with a regular small air compressor and an airbrush. The compressor will let you to adjust the pressure more easily. And to me it looks like one has to have a compressor to recharge the canister. So why buy such a unit? -

Books to learn Fusion 360
Nirvana replied to allanyed's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
There are multiple tutorial videos out there, personally I have found the AutoDesk F360 to be the best. Books tend to outdate rather quickly, due to software updates. Unfortunately, Lars left Autodesk to pursue another life. -

Wouldn't a monofilament be better and stiffer for our purpose. Btw, where did you find the line? I've been searching for 10lb but to no avail. Thank you

Hello from Admiral Ching Lee

Amazing!

It has... the surface will require very little after-work prior painting. But 16 days of effective printing that's a long time. However, I have seen even longer printing time, towards 80 hours.

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.
