    Newbie Building A Proton

    Breeze M/Shroud Step 14 :band1: FINISHED balloon6 That was fun. Worked through the build a lot faster than I thought I would. Probably because I let my enthusiasm keep me up much too late at night. I also have the Pad, Adjusting Arm, and...

    Triskadekaphobia

    I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Not only that, it's the 3rd Friday the 13th this year. Each one seperated by exactly 13 weeks. Eeeek:eek: If anyone needs me, I'll be under the bed. Was that a black cat I just saw outside?

    getting started

    Hi Being fairly new to this myself, working on my first build, I can't say as I have seen what you would call a beginners kit. Just do what I did. Look around for a while and you will find plenty of models, from simple to "OH MY GOD". Pick something you like and jump in head first. I'm...

    Newbie Building A Proton

    Well, after 2 or 3 days trying to come up with a conduit making gizmo, I still don't have anything I like. Time to move it to the Problems To Work On In The Future column and get back to the build. 3rd Stage Steps 6-8 I still like forming these internal pieces into a single unit and...

    Farscape?

    I remember when the plug was unceramonally pulled and the show ended with what I guess was originally a season closer and not a series finale. I was shocked with that ending. I was speechless at that particular ending. I was so furious I couldn't even watch reruns of the show. The series...

    Thanks for the advice guys. At the moment I'm taking a short break from the build because..... I Am Irritated. For the most part I am pleased with the build. Sure, I didn't expect it to be perfect. I knew there would be plenty of room for improvement. I am a newbie after all, says so...

    Goodbye Andy Griffith

    For those of you too young to remember, Andy Griffith had a show before Matlock. The Andy Griffith Show. The Best Show Ever. We recently lost Andy. Andy also had a brief stint in sci-fi. For any who are interested I found a model of his ship here...

    3rd Stage Step 1 Best seam I've done yet. If I'd managed to cut off more of the black lines, it would be dang near invisible.

    Newbie Building A Proton

    I thank you for your kind words. I now have a new problem. According to the instructions, I am now supposed to take this thin strip of paper and glue it exactly 31mm down this tube to act as a lip for this ring to rest on. What??!?:eek: The depth is fairly critical. Too deep and the...

    Newbie Building A Proton

    I actually find it quite comfortable and I have found several advantages. 1. The chair is comfy. Important for long cutting sessions. 2. I can rest my arms on or brace them aginst the armrests in a variety of ways to both stabalize and keep them from tensing up. 3. I don't usually move my...

    My light/magnifying glass does get the job done so far. Like everything I've done that requires some light on the subject, however, I can never seem to get rid of that one little shadow that is in the most inconvenient spot for whatever I'm doing. Of course,.........I do have that LED light...
