Wheels are beautiful. Love the square spokes.

Yep but I have purchased some great quality stuff from Victor. Just check the country of origin. Like I said, hit or miss.

This should be good!

Glad your back. I don't usually post much unless I have something of value to add but I've missed the updates on this one.

I live less than a mile from KBC tool so thats usually where I look first. They are a bit more but no shipping so sometimes it works out. I also go to Victor Machine for cutters and non-standard taps and dies. They have a ton of stuff but hit or miss on the quality. They do say where the country...

Buy cutters as you need them. They are like drill bits in an index. You never use half of them. After many years of building models I think I have 8 or 9 cutters instead of 3 complete sets. Also if you buy specific cutters you can spend a little more to up the quality.

I had the same problem so I only showed on Saturday. If it's a requirement that we stay for 2 days then I'm not coming to show. But I think they would rather you come for one than not at all. Hopefully one of the organizers will chime in and give a report on this year and what will happen next...

Well I think you missed the point. There are many who show up at shows that feel like there are too many empty tables but left their models at home.

I've seen it on the forums, both this one and other groups. Guys are saying they are worried about shows getting smaller and are worried that they will be gone. We'll not all of you, but a good number of you, come to the show and leave your models at home. Instead of showing up empty handed...

What day were you there? I could only show on Saturday and there were others in the same boat. I know the exhibitors were a little light but it's the first year. It will continue to grow year after year.

Well it'd here! Sitting in the hotel room getting ready to head over to the show!

Here's a screen shot of the plans for the V4 Pacifier.

Forgive me if it's been asked but what time does the show open on Friday for setup? Plan to be in the area about 9am Friday and would like to get setup and then visit some of the other museums.

Yes they are still his copyrighted property whether he sells copies or not. I have seen his book being sold on ebay a few times. Maybe keep your eyes peeled for a copy there. I think he will be at the show in Indiana next month. If your in the area you can go right to the source and ask as many...

I've done a few miniatures

Agreed! But I'm sure the new owner thought the drawings were good. Remember he's in the same boat as you.

Same here. I took my peewee apart months ago and have not had the chance to get back to it. I have things stacking up and have no idea if or when I could do it. Better to have someone who has one to finish work on it. Need someone highly motivated to see it done.

Unfortunately that's not enough. Someone with the castings in hand will need to do the work. While the models are being created they need to be checked against the casting to be sure that part can come from that casting. So even if I did do the models I would have no idea if it would work with...

This is a Peewee V4 situation right here. When I tried to build it I had the same problems with missing information. If you ever want to finish this engine you need to sit down and design what's missing. Make the changes so the errors are fixed. Then move forward and build it. If you are waiting...

Earl Who? Where did you hear about this?
