What was the ship in Ep. 1 that resembled a highly polished SR-71?
Thanks.

Well, I've got three major problems. My brother just moved recently and
found two un-built models I had stored over there for a few years. One is
the AMT/ERTL X/YB-35 (1/72), and a Delta2 Savoia Marchetti S.55 X (scala
1/72, Italian kit manufacturer).

the dollar store near me had a 3 pack of super glue gel for
a buck. i was out of the 'spensive hobby shop stuff and
desperate, so i bought a three pack. an hout later i went
back and bought 10 card of it.

I am looking for several models but have had no luck in finding them
and starting to believe that these do not exist.
1997 Dodge Avenger
1996 Eagle Talon

Having missed out on the Bridgeport at one of my Toolmakers that closed
down, I'm now looking for another one.
I'm after a series 1, would prefer a step-pulley with 2 speed motor
rather than a vari-rattle head, 42" table would be ideal, 48" too big.

I bought an Contitech SPZ "825" length belt for the lathe ...

I need to make some cast iron clutch linings. Anyone know of a source

thick, sort of "thin slices" from a bar.
Suggestions welcomed

My kids gave me a project for my kids teachers. They want me to build a
bus made of paper and cut and paste their class pictures in the windows
to give to their teachers on the last day of school. If I can find
something workable, I'll make the paper model and release it copyright

Hi all - recently I scored three older Aurora? (maybe Monogram 1:100)
missile kits, the Regulus II, the Bomarc and the Rascal.
Thing is, I want to paint these as if they were in front line use.
Trouble is, I'm not too sure about what colors they would hev been

there is a thread on a WWII group about the the USA stopping the use of
camo on some oftheir bombers and fighters and that the RAF continued
with camo.
No post yet on why they stuck with camo.

I have a Villiers I think MK7 engine off an Atco lawn mower. I need to
remove the flywheel to replace the points. There is a large hexagon with a
thread inside it and I can turn it about two turns both ways and then stops.
Question is this the extraction nut and if so which way do I ...

I have recently found the online Internet Modeler magazine.

I've been happily reading the back issues. What an incredible resource!
I've also noticed a few names that I recognise from somewhere....  ;-)
