    Well, I see by all the advertising on TV that tonight Gena Davis and
Donald Sutherland (two of hollywierd's leftest and brightest) will start
conditioning us for the presidency of Hilliary Clinton. This will be a
good evening to go down in the workroom and build a model. I bet the

Heading for Maui for vacation in July and was wondering if there were any
Hobbystores there.  Hoping for one that might carry some Japanese garage
kits.

I envisage a double-six-jaw self-centering chuck. It has six internal jaws,
and six external jaws. The internal and external jaws are operated by two
different scrolls*.
A double-three/four/more-jaw chuck would probably work too.

I've got a stainless steel ring, about 2mm thick, O/D 100mm, I/D 50mm
(approx). I'd like to increase the inner diameter by about 4mm or so
(not a precision job). If I can't get my chuck wide enough to hold the
ring, how would I mount it centrally on a faceplate?

Many Rare & OOP kits, International buyers okay!
Relive your youth and bid on these old and rare OOP kits.  Hey, at

hi, i have been overseeing my late father's collection of over 100,
mostly 1/25 scale preassembled cars
since the 70s.  they date back to the 40s, as well as earlier childhood
models in smaller scale.

Someone gave me a Trumpeter The Sullivans today and words to accurately
sum up just how bad it is would all be censored . I really didn't think
it was possible but they made a crappier kit than their North Carolina.
No joke the USS The Sullivans by Trumpeter is an almost complete ...

I decided to take a break from modern jets, having tired of the
disparity between the details of the kits I was building. Well, that,
and trying to apply all the two hundred stencils on Revell's 1/72
Twin-seat Typhoon.

I am currently in the process of giving my boat her hundred and first year
refit and am on the lookout for around 200 to 300 silicon bronze 12 gauge
woodscrews 2 inches long at an affordable price.
Searches I have made so far indicate prices around 80p to £1 each which is

Scale ACT 2006
Canberra RSL Club hosted this years Scale ACT competition. Many great
entries were on the display, here is a selection of photos I took of the
event. Enjoy!

My mother-in-law has a collection of about 12 model Eddie Stobart trucks.
These are all in mint condition with the original boxes. About 4 are "big"
size the others are "normal" Corgi size. She wants to sell them as she has
lost interest in collecting them.

I am looking for a 60 hole 5.5 inch dividing plate to go on the tail end of
my lathe spindle - that was the original design and it seems a useful
accessory worth recreating. When I look for ones for sale I see them with
weird numbers of holes, 47, 41, 37. Perfect if you want 47 ...

I am looking for the complete volume of fine scale modeler year 1991 or
just the may 1991 issue.
I don't want to get slammed so make offers.
Thanks a lot
