I was going to build up some larger resin figures with CA this winter
as the fumes from epoxy would not work to well inside the house. I
know CA does not have much shear strength so I'm not sure how well it
will hold up as the figures I have range from 1/5, 1/6 and 1/8 scale.

I'm looking to source a replacement for the piano wire that I currentl
use for making drive systems for model powerboats.

All,
Hope you can help...I laid down a decal and put solvaset on it...went down

405. These are woodwork tools for doing a variety of mouldings and
grooving jobs when fitted with various blades.  These planes suffer

Was it Revell Germany?  Came out a few years back, 6 or so engines?
Am sending the wife out with my list soon.  I was going to ask for the

I'm always getting glue on aircraft windshields & found a mention of

thx - Craig

Is this "hull red" ??

I need to make a couple of brass filer plugs,  the threaded part is 3mm
