Jim Lad Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share #107 Posted February 21, 2014 Just a short note to let you know that I haven't abandoned the 'Pritt', but rather forgot to take my camera to the museum last week! The first cant frames are on, but it's very slow work while talking to visitors at the same time! I promise to try and remember the camera next time.

Jim Lad Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share #109 Posted February 21, 2014 Michael, Most of the comments we get are in the vein of "You must have a lot of patience" or, "are you using balsa wood" or, "Where are the toilets?" But every now and then we get people who are really interested and want to know where we get plans, where we get wood, what sort of tools do we use, how do you learn to build models. Of course, if anyone shows real interest, I tell them about a marvellous web forum that they can join for free!

Jim Lad Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share #116 Posted March 7, 2014 Bugger!! I know I promised photos soon, but there's nothing to photograph apart from me looking annoyed with myself. I spent Wednesday fiddling about with cant frames and wondering why they didn't look right - finally discovered that when I drew them I was using the wrong datum line. All are now in the bin together with their drawings. Oh well, live and learn! John mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
