Yeah, on these big builds, it is pretty much a necessary bit to remove the tracks in order to build them. The 251 track links were done such that the parts could press fit together and hold just fine. I have one link on my 251 tracks that is not glued so the tracks can be removed. It is a...

@Sharkmouth Amazingly enough the dark metal song is surprisingly good.

I would have hosted it, but have no idea what to do to start one. Same time, different station I guess.

Hope you are doing better soon Barney. You also answered my question about "Is anyone going to the Nationals? Sounds like you have that in the plans!

Being able to see the colors, and/or labels is why I built my paint racks out of acrylic. The one with the Vallejo paints is perfect as it is only about 5 inches deep, but quite wide and tall. It is loaded with paint now and works quite well. The paint fumes get sucked out by my home made...

I love it! Leave it to Saúl to get to the bottom of the story.

Cool! I am going to have to delve into the world of Blender myself here real soon. My CNC unit should show up here soon. They are shipping the basic units already and the enhanced Ball bearing leadscrew version that I got is just now starting to ship. I was never really worried about this...

Glad you are doing better Barney and that you have not censored us out as well. I have been doing radiation therapy on my left thigh to (hopefully) prevent any reoccurrence of the fatty tumor that has been coming back and required 4 surgeries since 2012. I have to go in for 33 treatments. One...

I get it Paddy. Been there and done that. My one big FUBAR happened years ago. I was fairly new at an electronics company as a draftsman. They had me doing all kinds of stuff including artwork for silkscreens for commercial equipment. This was at the beginning of the home satellite receiver...

Keep on it Paddy! After doing such fabulous work on that engine, don't let a little thing like missing parts get you down.

After skim reading through the article, it turns out the plane was built for the movie "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines". It also only flew at about 45 miles an hour.

Nothing a little sheet plastic, a knife, a couple of small escapement files and sandpaper couldn't do in an afternoon.

looking really good Tim! Yeah those many part assemblies are a bit of a pain. The 1/16th 234 Puma I have has two different style sets of suspension. One set which is tons of tiny parts and a second set that has the part count reduced by a large amount. Yeah, guess which one I will be doing...

Yeah, they have upgraded to Win 11 at work on some micro PC's. So far I hate dealing with it. MS is also pestering me on my PC about upgrading, and that kind of stuff really needs to be shut down. Supposedly with the software that the CNC machine is coming with, I can use STL files to...

@Sharkmouth Yeah, computer issues are a pain, and with all the Win 11 detriments and spy garbage they have built into It, I am now leaning toward moving to Linux. Am so tired of micro :poop: stuffing garbage down my throat. Lenovo has gone to Linux for their default loaded OS. If you want the...
