Just wondering if anyone has kicking about the place some S/H "scrap"
angle iron that I could use to make myself something.
I'm wanting to make a storage shelf thingy.
The parts list is as follows:

What do I receive "Message could not be displayed' on some of the most
recent postings on here? What's going on?

Just picked one up on eBay very cheap. There seems to be a glut oif them
recently as well as the Revell 1/48 Ju-52 which I may bve weakening on.
Anyway, first rate, box was opened but the parts bags are inside a larger
bag. I think it may be a buyer's market right now.

I have a Matchbox 1.12 plastic kit of a Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle
which is missing the tyres, clear parts and decal sheet. Any idea where I
might find these parts, especially the tyres? Is there anyone dealing in
obscure(?) bits.

So took my pocket money with me on a trip to Leeds, called in at DRG Tools
on my way home.....got say nice shop guys and very helpful to a guy new to
turning.
Thanks.

I was poking around trying to get some pictures of the 208 Sqn. Hunter
depicted on the decals in the 1/32 Revell Hunter kit.  The kit scheme
seems to be a mixture of 208 Sqn. and 8 Sqn. markings.
The decal sheet has the stripes around the roundel and squadron badge

is there a kit of the car, or a conversion?
ny nephew has come back to the light side and wants to build
one. he did a good kinda scratch, but details kill him.

Fist Post I'm afraid, so be gentle...
Anyway, I wonder if any of you guys can help me identify a lathe I have
been given. It is a 3.5" centre height machine with around 18" between
centres. It is currently sitting on a converted treadle stand, but

Bought the Revell German Boelcke Anniversary Tornado, it doesn't have the
canopy and Revell say they have no spares. Anyone out there have one they

Squadron has the ORP Wicher & ORP Burza Destroyer Kits in  1/400  Scale.  
Can you guys tell me how they are and what to expect inside the box if I
go and order a couple of them.  Could these be made to look better with
some of those after market Ship parts out there.  As it turns ...

I thought I would treat myself to a new 4 Jaw Independent Chuck (6
inch) for my new (old) Boxford. When I buy 3 jaw chucks I usually stick
with TOS and have never (yet) had a problem. I can't find anyone who
lists TOS 4 jaw independents, obviously with no concentricity to worry

They go under valve springs in modified engines and up till now I've been
making them on the Student but it's a bit of a pain without a decent parting
off system. On a cnc they'd be a minute or so each to do after setting up.
Another way of doing it would be to have round blanks ...
