Cool that you got it cheap. I remember most of the 1/12th scale cars were always too expensive back in the day. I had several R/C cars back in the day. The Tamiya Baha Beetle, the Sand Scorcher and a slant nose 911. Not sure where they went off to. Divorce and moving around with having my...

Thanks for those links Dave! The ones for the M3 will probably be used by me once I start up on my 1/16th M3. Also Andy has been adding more and more aftermarket 1/16th stuff as well as kits. Between Das Werk, Andy, Takom, and a couple of others that are offering 1/16th kits for reasonable...

Great job on the wheels Paddy!

Overall your builds look really nice Terry! Keep them coming!

I figured as much. Was mostly just joking. :good: It is looking really good Tim! Making me ponder the new Gecko models 1/16th Chaffee that Andy now has in stock.

I believe the Tamiya stuff is a vinyl base and thus is a bit more stiff. Thin silicon rubbers are usually a LOT softer. I need some braided cord for my 1/16th scale stuff and thought up yesterday about heavy duty fishing cord. Have to make a WalMart run to see if I am correct.

Welcome Terry! Yes this is a really good group and all you need to do to join in is post and be a good mate. Paddy does phenomenal builds, and there is quite a diverse group here, but many of us have become friends even across the big ponds. If you want to meet some of us and chat we will be...

Does the spring work?

If it was really soft and pliable, it might be silicon. Occasionally I get a watch with silicon gaskets and they are almost too soft. Keep up the great work on the MFH Matra!

Yeah, I am the "Tool whore". Thing is, if I didn't show you guys these you would never know about them. Anything to do a job better and easier. This build is really impressive Tim. Like what you are doing a lot.

For the super fine tiny carbide bits I have been using the pin vice that I bought from DSPIAE. Of all the tools that I have bought from them I use it all the time. At first I thought it was a bit on the odd side, but as I have used it, it is my "go to" pin vice for all my hand drilling.

I get the spring thing Tim. Something I got years ago are a couple watchmaker screw slotting files. These are files that are a smidge thicker than a razor blade in the middle and the tapered edges are the files. They are for cutting screw slots in tiny watch screws. The ones I have are worn...

I have not checked the WNW site in quite a while. For about a year after they went bye bye, I went and downloaded ALL the photo materials from the site. Some aircraft had tons of photos, others just had a smattering. There was also a sister site that was the WW1 plane building site that also...
