    Help selecting a "first" model?

    OK, I've worked out color printer access, at least to a decent one...I assume Gremir's software doesn't have trouble with a network shared printer? What about a PDF printer for editing sizes and whatnot? How much can one expect to blow it up sticking to a sheet of 8.5 x 11? I don't mind...

    Help selecting a "first" model?

    Has anyone done either the GPM Glowworm or the Selfridge that I linked to? Those are the two I've narrowed it down to, as far as pre-printed models go. I figure I can always just xerox those to practice before assembling, and it should still be cheaper than a new printer. But I haven't had time...

    Ships' Gun Barrels: Roll Your Own?

    Strip or tube? That's a shame....don't have a model U-boat you can blame it on, do you?

    Help selecting a "first" model?

    I really like their USS Selfridge, and the Glowworm. However, the reason why I'd really rather not go with a digital model, is printing it. I don't have access to a decent color printer at the time, and I'm leary of picking up a cheap inkjet, especially with the way inkjets waste ink. I'll...

    Help selecting a "first" model?

    Hey guys! Kinda new to this area of the forum, spend most of my time over in cartoon/anime and science fiction. I would like to get started in WWII ship modeling, and am having difficult in selecting a kit to start with. It doesn't help that all of the models I've done to this point have been...

    Free model #4- Ex-S Gundam

    Hey, maybe you guys can help me out... Started building this, and already have a question on the foot (D'oh!) The two gold pieces, where do they go? are they part of the mount for the piece that goes across the front of the ankle? or somewhere else? couldn't find anything that resembles them...

    double-main folded-dogbone in N-scale

    2" railhead to bottom-of-bridge... I don't plan on running any double-stacks, but some auto carriers would be nice. That should be the tallest thing I'll run.

    help with a locomotive shops

    I'm guessing HO by the turn radii... Well, merger was in '82, according to wikipedia, so I'm guessing no steam? That leaves sand tower and inspection pits? And switches and workshops may look better for the diesels than a roundhouse and turntable, though that's your choice. Honestly, on a...

    double-main folded-dogbone in N-scale

    Do you guys think 2" is enough clearance for the bridges? Also, anyone got any recommendations for the bridges? I was looking at some Kato double track bridges...how easy is it to interface the unitrak with regular code 80 flex track? If I do them as single track bridges, what do you guys think...

    double-main folded-dogbone in N-scale

    Yeah, this one kind of caught my eye http://www.naisp.net/mfischer/Trkplans/78x30_06.gif but make it into a double main all the way around, instead of just over the bridges. My planned space is bigger than a door, so I should be able to add the second main without sacrificing turn radius on...

    Lower level staging transition...

    going back to the elevator idea, I'm thinking basically a detachable siding, with a vertical piece of wood leading down to the staging yard, upon which you put a rack for a rack and pinion gear and electric motor, which could be run by a spare power pack or something. Maplin has these Discount...

    double-main folded-dogbone in N-scale

    This sound feasible to you guys? the space I'm gonna be working with is probably gonna be 4x8, might be able to squeeze it to 5x8, depends how the furniture gets rearranged. I'm thinking maybe 1, maybe 2 crossover exchanges between the loops. the only siding I'd want on the outer loop is a spur...
