Should I prime my model before or after rescribing the recessed panel
lines?  Right now, the model is OOB.  I want to rescribe the panel
lines and make them deeper, but don't know which order to do this in.
Thanks in advance.

I'm familiar with the idea of drilling the correct size hole prior to using
a tap to thread the hole but what about using a die for an external thread?
I need something (a length of rod) to have an M6 thread on it. The rod is
nominally 6mm in diameter. Do I just use the die  on ...

So, what's the views on this years show?
Poor old JS was run of his feet and could only manage a cold coffee .....
Is it my imagination or are the boats (maybe they prefer ships?) and planes
groups getting larger?

  WOW!

Sometime ago I ran across an ad for a decal sheet for the Lancaster Mk
II, which included markings for "Fannie Ferkin II".  Does anyone
remember it?  Is it still available?

Does anyone have one one of the small machine-mart or similar blast
cabinets?
I was wondering how effective they were, and what sort of air supply
you may be running with them.

I recently bought a second Myford - a Super 7 this time - and originally
intended to move the ML7 on but having access to two is proving very
useful.
The original ML7 was converted to 3ph with an inverter which provides

The sort of things you used to see on paraffin heaters with separate
tanks .
Do they make these to fit 5 gallon containers ...
or do I have to make and design one myself.

anyone have a good home brew method for painting those black
rubber circles?

When the markings on a dial get obscure because the black stuff has worn
off, but the grooves are still there, what's the recommended way to make
them more visible again?
Thanks,

in all shapes and sizes, provided you want "strong"

I just got a great deal on a Predator Tank from Warhammer 40K.  I put
the little guy together tonight and posted it to the binaries group.
It is a fun little lit, with plastic and white metal parts.  
I dressed it up good... drilled out th egun barrels, put the antannas

Now I know how I'll make my next crank shaft out of the solid. Only need a
bit more money:
