After chucking the last phone at the wall,
now smashed to bits
after spending ten Min's on it trying to dial one number,because when
keys were pressed it was repeating a number,....

Made an interesting discovery when I pulled apart the old spindle on
my ML7 tonight. Unless I'm mistaken (always possible with me..) it
appears that the sleeve has been fitted 180 degrees out of position as
the oil ingress hole is exactly opposite the nipple rather than being

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of 1/24-25 scale wheels and tyres,
or can someone recommend one who exports to the UK?

I'd like to get a pair of 1/48 AGM-69A SRAM or B-61 bombs for my
FB-111A. The SRAMs came with Revell's B-1, and I believe the B-61s came
with Testor's F-117.
Does anyone have a pair of either that they would part with?

I've long had a problem with my Iwata Eclipse HP-BCS airbrush in that on
cool days where the humidity is a bit up, I get water build-up inside the
front end of the airbrush in the fluid nozzle and nozzle cap which then
spatters out the nozzle while I'm painting as clear water ...

As there are apparently no bottled equivalents for Tamiya's AS -13, -14,
or -15, does anyone know of the best bottled acrylics for Vietnam era USAF
green, olive green, or tan?  Or better yet, any of the right colors for a
Vietnamese era camouflaged Phantom II?

One example I'm trying to paint a car's brake assembly. The brake disk,
hub and calibers all have different colors. But how do I paint it so
that the paint doesn't run over each other?

Hey. I see the IPMS had a house cleaning, they got rid of a lot of
deadwood and fat cats who did nothing.
Now, if they can only manage to figure out how to manage their money,
so they dont go tits up.

As I was reading through some tutorials about model techniques I came
across mentions of "this part was replaced by xxx brand" and so on.
I've seen at the local store 3rd party decals and figures but 3rd party
plastic car parts? How would I know this part fits to what model or if

OK it's hardly model engineering I know, but anyone know of a good JCB
3CX for sale? Idealy 4wd with extradig and a 4 in 1 bucket with pallet
forks - preferably piped for a breaker.
Yes - looks like I have a bit of serious land clearing to do <G>

I seem to remember they made a Model of one of these back in the late
60's or there abouts.  Am I remembering it Right and if so was it
Monogram or not -&- what scale was it put out in.
I do remember building something that looked a lot like a Gun Boat which

Has anyone here ever built their own (or someone elses) wood lathe?
