Finally,  I've finished my attempt at building Malcolm Stride's Nemett15S.
Never really made anything significant before,  but Malcolm's article was
that detailed I thought it was worth a shot.  It fired up and ran tonight a
bit of fiddling left to do with the carb,  but it works ...

I posted this question at the scalemodeling.mybb3.org site, but as
they're gone (or appear to be), I'll post it here as well.
Last week I won a copy of the USS Daedelus starship on ePay and just
received it. It's well cast, three pieces (hull and two nacells/mount

"home lathe".

I did an engineering apprenticeship back in the early 1980's and spent a

There's a new moderated board that might be of interest.  It's categorize
but not genre specific, so anyone can find something of interest.  It'
layout is loosely based on StarshipModeler (with their blessing).  I thin
it's worth a look, then we can let the pinhead spammers have RMS ...
