I forgot about those James. I had them. You're right, excellent stuff. They've been asking that price for Vol 2 for about 10 years now. It's not realistic. I think I sold mine for around $180 after about a year of listing it. Vol 1 was pretty much list price. Whenever I placed a wholesale...

In my experience, anything published by JJ Fedorowicz was always a great reference. Expensive, but exhaustive.

Beautiful.

Testing. Am I alive?

Nice! I haven't started threads on these because they tend to be the kiss of death for me finishing, but I've been working on two Ryefield kits, the Easy 8 as Fury and the Late Tiger as 007. Some details needed on Fury, the mantlet coverframe and forward 30 cal mount as well as storage clips...

Wow Paul, that's amazing. I discounted using the Resistance solderer with the microscope because I mounted the scope at one end of the bench with foot activated vacuum, but my vent for soldering is at the other. I could always move the scope I guess, but I'm set up with a 'clean' end for the...

Yep. Look at this 1/35 old DML PE Iron Cross. I never noticed the '1939' before, even using the Zeiss head loupe.

Thanks all. Paul, it's a 7X-45X Zoom Inspection scope. Pretty damn handy bit gear for basically the price of a few kits.

Got an adapter ring to mate the Rebel to the microscope. Messing around with an iris in 1/35. Still need to define the eye with an upper and lower lid, but the tough part is done.

Bob, I was a bit skeptical about the tweezers. The one I had before (currently with Saul) had a lead that went to a grounding plate and a probe with a tungsten bit. So you laid the PE on the plate and touched the probe where you wanted, stepped on the pedal and zap, you're done. I was thinking...

I've been jonesing for a resistance solderer for a while now. I put the 1/700 Flyhawk Bismarck and 1/72 Revell Type VII back in the box because there was so much PE and I really can't get the hang of CA on it. I end up getting stuff stuck everywhere or flood it so there's visible surfaces...

For those interested. Ted, the engineer behind the Fender Bender we used to make has designed a 3d printable version for an online contest. It'll be free to anyone who wants it. I did a version a few years back to make in ABS resin, but decided against the hassle of it. But anyone with...

Looking forward to these. :popcorn

I hear ya Mike. This was a bin of ten plus years. Shoulda known better of course. Although I just started organizing again, and am doing it again. But I think I'll just move them downstairs again and toss them in 2030. :bgrin

So I decided I wanted to go back to some 1/35 sculpting, especially considering the new addition of the microscope. I've wanted to do a full 'Fury' set, really nail the characters in 1/35 since the movie came out, I guess it's time to get started. In my basement, I have two huge bins of...

That wasn't far from my mind. I settled for gutting and completely rebuilding the shop, including painting and new tools. I tossed out about 15 years worth of buildup and kept only what I absolutely needed. It was actually refreshing since I got to reset things to make the work flow better.
