Got it! Thanks very much archangel! Cheers from the Heart (although at minus 32 degrees C it's a cold heart) of the Continent MT Hopper

Success! Thanks cgutzmer!! My 13 year old disdains my model railways BUT a card model! That's different and quite acceptable, so thanks again. Cheers from the Heart of the Continent MT Hopper

Too bad the TWE Tinies link doesn't work anymore. Cheers MT

Ubi Ubi?

Hello sumpter250. Yes I probably did. I had no real idea what a BOMROC was so taking my teenagers advice I "googled" it. It answered some "way in the back of the mind" questions such as what are those "rockets" they are launching off in those WWII and Korean war movies? I guess I should have...

Hello sumpter250. It seems you'll have a lot of work ahead of you just to get ahold of the BOMROC data. I'd never encountered it before and all I could find was about the MK 105 and MK102/105 launcher with the 5" HVSR and a MK 50 motor tied onto a MK 10 warhead. They referred to a two barrel...

Thanks Nachoman! Talk about quick........thank you hminky!! Cheers from the Heart of the Continent MT

No one including the LHS uses or carries On30 equipment. It is therefore hard for me to check out any detailed info. Would anyone happen to know the Diameter of the wheels on the Bman 2-8-0? Also what is the distance from axle centre to axle centre? I ask because I am hoping the 2-8-0- can serve...

Thanks Bones for the heads up! Like you I can see it happening....eventually. I like his idea of a subway. What do you think about the 1/450th airport series? There is potential there. Imagine an architectural type layout, with animation! Cheers MT

1:50 Hi 60103. I found at least one more 1;50th scale railway modeller. A chap named Don Sibley in Belgium. He models in 1:50th scale and uses 18mm gauge track. You can see his work at Mick's Roving Reporter Photo Gallery @ Fotopic.Net his work is a third to halfway down the page for the Oct...

Thank you for the photos sumpter250. That looks really nice as it is now but I also look forward to seeing the completed module. I think it`s going to be really great. Are you going to light structures, vehicles, whatever so you can also create the nighttime dockside atmosphere. Cheers from the...

sumpter 250. You might be interested in the 2-6-6-2T build over on Yahoos Bachman On30 site. The chap used a Mantua 2-6-6-2T as the donor mechanisim and then added bits and pieces from the Forney,the Porter and the 2-6-0 and 2-8-0. It is a nice looking build. Cheers from the Heart of the...

PWRR-2207. I got the aluminum rod and a brass rod. I also have both the three jaw and the four jaw chucks. The four jaw is a bit more challenging to centre up but I can see its definite potential in doing off centre turnings. I unpacked another wondorous cardboard box and inside the dried out...

Hi sumpter 250.The ship sounds really interesting. Can you have her sitting in a drydock with one side of the dry dock cut away so she's visible? Makes me think of the Marine-Rail SIG I encountered. I've got my Walthers car float one eigth finished and then theres' the Float apron to be done. I...

Hi nkp174. Are you going the wire armature route for your figure? I have sculpted some custom figures but mostly in 54mm scale and 120 mm. I had just been wondering to myself about creating a 1:48 th scale master figure for myself and then adding on appropriate clothing (Business suit versus...

Thanks to all for your help. The new/old lathe is a Unimat Model DB 200. It comes with metal turning tools. I also (at that time) bought the tool rest and wood turning chisels. I have an old book, Miniature Machining from MAP Model Aeronautical Press, that I apparently acquired along with the...

Thanks for the lead Sumpter. I modelled 1-35th scale armour and dioramas for about 40 years but as satisfying as it was ,it was inanimate. I also "strayed" out of the WWII era into Historical miniatures. Of course like many others I assembled and painted a fortunes worth of Historex plus...

Thank You All for your help. Like Sumpter I find MANY snows have passed since I did shops. I vaguely recall pressing a wood patterin into casting sand and then pouring a ladle of molten metal into the impression so I ended up with an ashtray to give my dad. I suspect the constraint of time...

Thanks Bones ( why does saying that make me feel like William Shatner?). Thinking about how tiny those motors are AND having "played" with some of the wire with a memory stuff, I am truly beginning to suspect I will see nano technology become a reality in my lifetime. The medical, and spy, and...

Hooray! I don't have to reinvent the wheel!! Thanks to dedicated hard working folks my "O" scale figure journey is over!! At Yahoo!s' groups there is one ONG_REFERENCE. Back in 2003 a chap photographed and measured many of the popular manufacturers figure products. About the only thing that is...
