Now that sounds really ideal. Hope you caught something as well.

???? '' people who are disparaging'' I really like my AS186, a really useful compressor. I was simply saying that you see them advertised a lot, because they are so popular. If you have plenty of space to store it when not in use, then that's nice for you. I was just showing a useful and convenient ...

Having only used it so far to paint a 1/35 Russian lorry kit, my first impressions are quite good. Using Vallejo Model Air acrylic, I can spray down to a 1mm line width with it, and noise wise, I would say quieter than an electric tooth brush. As far as awkward goes, I'm only really holding the brus...

My brush cost me £40, but prices seem to vary from day to day. I see them from £32 to £50 on Amazon where I bought this one. Having a quick look at YouTube shows them being used in nail bars and hairdressers with hair dye, so I suppose they have many uses.

Hi Rob, The lower black part is the compressor, onto which the air brush is attached. It is rechargeable and will power the air brush for about 40 minutes, a USB lead is supplied with it. Once you switch it on, there is an air bleed, so no need to worry about it over pressurising. This is all metal ...

A new discovery for me anyway. While browsing Amazon I saw that there seems to be quite a few cordless airbrushes doing the rounds, and liked the idea of being able to do a few quick paint touch ups, without having to get out all my usual spraying equipment. So I treated myself to one of these (see ...

Very interesting re Cricut, thanks for the link. Seems really easy to use.

What an awful piece of wanton vandalism. Very sad piece of news.

Best wishes with your change in circumstances, and thanks for the enjoyment of viewing your layout. I look forward to viewing your future modelling projects.

Looking at a youtube video of one being built, the parts mentioned don't seem to be used in this kit. It's on a plastic sprue, and I guess it's a generic one for use on alternative buildings in the range.

Thanks for all the pictures posted this year. Happy Xmas and a great 2019.

Fantastic, liked the flourish at the end.

Just had a look at Amazon, looks like Axminster has this (Co series) in stock. You could give them call re the C1.?

At the end of the day, a small lathe for accurate metal work is not going to be cheap. But something like this (see link) is probably the type you may be looking for. :- https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-model-engineer-series-c2-300-mini-lathe-101356 Small, model making lathes like the Unimat ju...

Probably a more useful reply for consideration, here is a comment from another member in reference to OO points, but should be relevant in N gauge as well. :- Mountain said :- At the end of the day, like the prototype, you can only use what fits in the location you have available, so if you only hav...
