Dave, normally if you use rubber cement correctly, you apply it to both sides, let it dry and then join the two surfaces together to get a tight...
Dave, How about contact cement? Excellent tensile strenth but easily sheers off if you want to remove the load (just twist the container load...
I am going to use RP. I have tried a test piece with one of my booms for my Z scale 250 ton Brownhoist crane in brass. I was hoping the wax...
That does sound a lot thinner. The paper backing on my transfers was more like 4 or 5 times that thickness and not nearly as pliable. But in all...
Excellent! Thank you Garth, I really appreciate all your knowledge. I'm contemplating building a switcher with two trucks. I have a model already...
Hi Garth, How smoothly did the power max motor start and stop or did it need a little nudging to get going sometimes? Do you think it would work...
Has anyone taken apart the motorized Rokuhan T009-2 Z Scale Passenger Car? There is a big box that makes up the undercarriage and I was wondering...
Mark, was the paper backing really thin? The transfers I had made where on a really thick paper. It would have made it almost impossible to bend...
I have a lot of experience with dry transfers applied to concept models for product design and they work really great for that. In fact decals...
Garth, if you think about it, subtracting 5 inches on each side of a 79 inch diameter wheel and then scaling it down to Z scale might not be that...
That would be fantastic Kev. I really appreciate that. I've looked high and low for such plans with no luck.... My dad had a ton of N gauge...
Excellent! thanks Kev, I appreciate that. Funny you mention the NYC 20th century limited. I was planning on trying to print out a model of that if...
Does anybody know how the scale of the drive wheels (diameter and spacing) of this Japanese prototype 4-6-4 compares to an American Hudson 4-6-4?...
Hi Jeff, I have found a really good vendor that uses the same type of printer and FUD material as Shapeways and they do a really excellent job....
Hi Jeff, Glad yours got through. Unfortunately this model is "frozen in time"... Shapeways has changed the rules since I made this model. If I...
My apologies to anyone who tried to order the D-8 and D-8 logging version models on my Shapeways store...
Hi Jeff, I'd like to someday do a set of MBTA PCC street cars that I grew up with. The Power Max would fit in the theoretical chassis and shell I...
Quick question. Has anyone ever completely dissembled a Power Max motor chassis assembly? If so, are there any stumbling blocks? Are the wheels...
Hi Bob, I'm really excited to finish this project and get on with it but right now everything is on hold. Even though I never get sick, I've had...
Glad you guys like it. ANd dont forget, these cranes are not just used by MOW's. They are the most widely used rail cranes in the world today...
