Modellers vice build
No, it's a bit bigger. Warco WM180. And no, it's a dedicated lathe. I have a seperate milling machine (also a Warco) so no real need to convert the lathe for other work.- Mr Bowcat

Preventing rust in compressor tank
I have both an airbrush compressor and a 50l workshop compressor, and take the time to drain the tanks at the end of each use. Although unlikely, if the tank gives up from rust when fully pressurised it's going to be a bad day. Better safe than sorry. -
Is scale modelling a cheap or expensive hobby?
Definitely the cheapest of my hobbies. My most expensive is target shooting. As an example, this weekend I will be shooting 7.62mm on the 1000m range, the ammunition is now sitting at a little over £1 per round.
