Christmas ornament and other bits.
Two years ago I made this ornament for a friend, Marian aged 90. Friends and family have seen pictures of it and now I have to make seven more. After the ornament is decorated with snow (wall filler) and painted white, the flat panel on the front of the will have a "Merry Christmas"... -

Making Scale Model Wooden Spoked Wheels
That is a very useful PDF. I hope to make use of it one day when I scratch build a Model T or pre 1906 car. Thanks! Lee- A7man

What to do with completed models?
Give them to people you don't like and pretend to be so proud of the model they daren't throw it away. -

Welcome to this Anniversary GB, 90 years of Spitfires.
I'm not sure if this counts. My late friend Lorna bought an Austin Seven "special" in 1958, her first car. A special is just an A7 that has had the body removed and a home made body fitted. The student who built the car told Lorna that he had visited a local RAF base and cut some of the skin...- A7man

B. I am still new to the world of modeling and especially cutting machines. I don't know anything about masking material except masking tape. When I was wondering how I was going to produce 1/2mm wide pinstripes it was suggested at my local model club that I sould try decal sheet. I had heard of... -

Ford Model T 1/16th scale --- modified.
Lovely model! I've always had a soft spot for the 'T'. Perhaps it was all the Laurel and Hardy films I've watched. Very nicely done. Lee- A7man

Mr Bowcat, The items I cut out on the Joy were not masks, they were the finished item to be stuck on the car. The vinyl I bought is made for cutting machines like the Joy. It's a tough thin vinyl on a sheet of waxed paper. It comes on a roll, I bought bigger rolls of the vinyl and cut it down to... -

Hi Peter, The Joy is a very small cutter - drawing machine. I designed my 1/10th scale pinstripes on it, made that into a "block" of 12 and then asked the Joy to cut them out of a sheel of vinyl. The width of the stripes was half a mm. No way could I have painted them by hand or masked them for... -

Radish, thanks for the info on decal sheets. I haven't used them for my own "artwork" yet, but have often felt like I should try. Jim, I have a love/hate relationship with the Cricut Joy. I love the machine, I hate the software. The software is as awkward as h**l, and for me, refuses to work if... -

After seeing some pics of a fantastic cart posted by Radish in his welcome to a new member, I have decided to ask for help with something I'm doing. I have completed the four 1/10th scale models of my 1930 Austin Seven, (I still have the cases to make) and I am now building a smaller version... -

Well Chris, you left off cars in your list. I am a car man. The older the better. But having said that, I can appreciate and enjoy the skill and passion behind any build of anything. My late dad was a tank driver in the 50s in Germany. I would like to build something he would have driven, but I... -

I think I understand now! I only joined in December '25 so hadn't been aware of all these problems with images. I am sure it will be fixed. Lee -

As a newbie, when I first saw this I didn't know what you meant. I was waiting for some of the "old timers" on the forum to post an answer. Maybe, like me, they don't know what you're asking. Lee -

I have an electric fire in my sitting room that has a built in video screen. As well as videos of log and coal fires, gas flames, a lava lamp and country sceen, there is a fish tank. If you close your eyes you can smell the various fires, but the fish tank is the most soothing. Look after...- A7man
