Wooden models
Can you actually remember those old Hobbies fret saws Dave ? I think that they might have been treadle operated back in the day. Any still kicking around might qualify as unusual museum exhibits.- Bugatti Fan

My post was not setting out to repeat the chuck size difference as pointed out in Andy's OP but the reason why they might be different.- Bugatti Fan

Modellers vice build
I like to see a good engineering project allied to model making like this one. Very interesting ! A number of years back I made a 4 way tool post for my little Unimat 4 lathe. Saves lots of time by doing away with a lot of setting up of tools individually using the tool post supplied. It was...- Bugatti Fan

Book Nook station
Very nice unusual models featured by the OP.usual Certainly nice to go off in a different direction to the usual and probably the sort of model that would be more acceptable on the living room sideboard than a big weathered Tiger Tank ! All pre printed in colour and well designed from what I...- Bugatti Fan

Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder
The probable disparity between the Dspiae Chuck being 3mm and the Dremel Chuck at 3.2 mms is that the Dremel is an American tool and 3.2 mms is the equivalent to 1/8th of an inch. I think that the Americans have still stuck with Imperial measurements for much of their stuff.- Bugatti Fan

1/24 ‘Dutch’ Schaefer ( Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator)
Nice model of 'Big Arnie'. The rest of the Predator team would also make good subjects to go along with this one.- Bugatti Fan

Bargain!!
To be fair, the store honoured the tag price. Could have been a genuine reduction that did not get updated on their system. Hence the bar code giving a different price. Wotan. Hobby stores are not going out of business because of this. It is because people like us have deserted them to buy...- Bugatti Fan

Fujimi 1/12 Honda Z50 Monkey Bike 50th Anniversary Edition
What a cute project, both as a model and the real deal full size! Lovely builds of model and original. No problem with reference sources there Nick ! The full sized bike as a project must have been fun to do and not take up lots of work space either. I seem to remember Heller did a mini bike...- Bugatti Fan

Custom 68 Volkswagen beetle
Very nice job using aerosol paints. Often better and more convenient than setting up an airbrush for overall colour finishes on car bodies. Now that aerosols for real car applications are acrylics in the main, they are eminently suitable for using on plastic models. Plain colours are ideal for...- Bugatti Fan

Sanding Timber to the required thickness
I think what Radish was getting at about wood grain is that most of the original woods used on the actual vehicles themselves would be totally unsuitable to make a scale model of that vehicle because in scale the grain would be far oversized. In the UK I have seen a number of wooden models of...- Bugatti Fan

Old modelling handbooks/guidebooks/manuals
Regarding the Complete Car Modeller books 1 and 2, as I make models predominately in plastic I found those two books very useful and simply adapted many of Wingrove's techniques to suit. For example, scratch built chassis can be made from plastic card or from plastic extruded hollow sections...- Bugatti Fan

Old modelling handbooks/guidebooks/manuals
I have the Art of Weathering book and Cottage Modelling for Pendon. The weathering book is a very good treatise on the subject although biased towards railway modelling. The Cottage Modelling for Pendon describes how the individual buildings were made for the museum at Pendon in the Vale of the...- Bugatti Fan

16 Passenger Omnibus -- Scratchbuilt in 12th scale
Absolutely lovely, just like all the other horse drawn vehicles you have shown on this forum radish. I have to say that not only are your model making skills top notch, but also your painting, lining and sign writing are excellent too considering you are working in wood, that demands much more...- Bugatti Fan
