I need a new scale for my Colchester Triumph 2000's cross slide. It needs a

Hi. I am a new airbrush user and was hoping someone out there could
help me. I bought an Iwata Revoultion series airbrush not too long ago
and it is not working correctly. I use it for makeup purposes and when
I first got it, it worked great. It misted out the makeup very fine and

A friend of mine has a small lathe which has flat-belt pulleys, but no
belt. Is this stuff available anywhere?
If not, is there any option other than replacing the pulleys with V-belt

Still surplus and needing to go before weekend is the herbert air chuck

Is there a retailer for these French-made resin conversion kits in the
US? They still maintain a website, but it appears impossible to
actually order anything from them. For that matter, does anyone
anywhere stock their products?

japanese (or even english) scale model manuals by Hasegawa or Tamiya.
Do you know of sources where I could download *any* of them in PDF or
EPS quality?

Following on from my air rifle thread, many modern rifles use air
bottles instead of springs to propel the pellet along. Most people fill
these from a tank that is filled at a dive centre or similar. You can
buy stirrup pumps for the same job but I was wondering if there was a
