    Civil war boats

    Here is a Commodore Perry I finished a couple weeks ago from this download collection. (Stern view although the prototype was double ended and had duplicate end fittings.)

    real life train question

    All controlled by a single engineer in the lead locomotive. Usually accompanied by a conductor. Interconnection is by electrical cables between the locomotives. The same engineer controls locomotives in the middle or distributed throughout the train by radio control. The exception might be...

    Finding A4 cardstock in the US of A might become a hobby itself. Several suggestions; 1. Try printing a page or two with your printer set to low quality. In the Adobe Reader print dialogue make sure to check off "actual size" under the size options. The preview box will show you potential...

    What to use for white lines?

    TomBow water based markers if you can find them. Solvent based markers (Sharpie and most others) may dissolve your printer's ink if that is the source of the parts. Colored pencils can work if they are soft artist's pencils. Certainly a basic black sharpie is better than white lines, cracks...

    Scratch building with styrene

    Styrene is going to accumulate based on what you are building. It's easiest to advise based on a project. BUT, this is internet modeling and we all have answers. Sheet, 0.020 and 0.040 to start. Strip: 1x4, 2x4, 4x4, 1x6, 2x6, 4x6 and 6x6 will do common trim jobs. For bracing I use...

    Cinedome or cinedrome?

    Hi! Ian's quest lead me to join up after rooting about. Most of the questions have been answered. And some I can't answer! My recollection of size is that there were essentially two common sizes used by the mil in WWII. The Walthers Quonset is a model of the smaller very common size. The...
