How big is the actual size of the model part Saúl?

Keep going Paddy! I always enjoy watching you do your magic on a stubborn subject. That is why I am still working on my sFH18 project. Halfway through I was looking at the items on it that were just way wrong and talking to myself about "does it really matter?". Eventually my answer was "To...

From all the build stories I have read on WNW kits, they are super detailed, and nicely made. BUT You better test fit, test fit, and test fit again, as they have very minimal tolerances on the parts. I also clean off my paints where glue joints are located. Learned that as a young pup, and have...

Depending on how it's setting, you wouldn't see much inside of it.

Coming along quite well Bob!

Looking good Tim! I like the weathering so far.

The little vice with the stand is what it is. It looks to be made well. The fractal vice looks identical to what I just got with the exception of the name screened on the side. Just look around for what you would like. Like I posted, my fractal vice needed the screws tightened up and then I...

That is where reference photos come so much in handy. That is also why my sFH 18 has taken such a detour, but I am on the home stretch now on it.

Yeah, Paddy showed me a neat tool..... And I also found this. Here are the Amazon US links Amazon Hubest Tabletop Mini Vise, Multi-Function Clamp Amazon 2.44 inch Mini Fractal vice

Orange? (yeah, there is a numb nut in every crowd :silly::facepalm:)

Looking really good Greg! Glad to see you posting again. How is your mom doing? Yeah, doing the chronolog on the posts really comes in handy on complex projects that you had to set aside for one reason or another.

Looking good Paddy!
