Can anyone here recommend a rigid PVC supplier? I'm looking for about 4
200mm squares about 20mm thick.
Cheers,

New Year greetings to all.
I have a quantity of Model Engineer mags for disposal. Earliest one is
probably 1997, I've not checked. these are free to anyone who can collect
from Pudsey by the end of this week, otherwise they go to the tip.

Merry Christmas All,
I am finding the 8mm watchmakers lathe to be an interesting machine.
As such, I must tinker.  First, I'm making an extention tube to hold
long workpieces, and have made a drawing of the drawbar.  I would like

I need to adapt a couple of chucks to my DSG lathe, which has a
simple spigot and 4-stud flange on the spindle. The only thing I have
to fit the spindle so far is the 3-jaw which is probably the original,
52 years old. That's not too bad if I tweak the different key

thx for the info as to the purpose of the gloss finish...
question:  how would this finish weather? How would it look?  and how
to do it so it would not look like
a real crappy gloss black paint application?

Good day, and happy new year to modelers everywhere.
I'm looking for 1/72 WWI figures, specifically a German pilot, to pose
with an Eduard Dr.1 I'm building. Any suggestions?
