Tirta, Fiskar's manufacturers a very sharp scissors capable of cutting 1 mm card stock. The design of the tip allows slots to be easily cut and saves your fingers. Gil

Josef, Well, that left me rather speechless..., fabulous setup! The etch setup is first class and I can see why you can't help but use now and then. The 1:250 winch is a miniature jewel unto itself. Thanks for takikng the time to share your "office"..., Gil

Josef, Absolutely fantastic! What's your etching setup? Till next, Gil

Panther Practice Update Making a little progress on getting the straight line lofts to better fit the Panthers 3D envelope. Some are straight forward while others are a little more involved. Some observations: o Most 3 Views aren't very accurate and treat each with suspicion until proven...

Leif, Don't try the solder it's just too soft for the application. Charlie's suggestion will yield dead soft copper. Clean the wire with fine sandpaper. To straighten a length after annealing put one end in a vice and grip the other end in the jaws of a pliers. Hold the wire taught...

Josef, Leif, I sent the "How to role small tubes" article to Ron some time ago. Don't think this is at the top of his priority list currently so I'll have to look into posting it with Rick. The following photos are from the article. The first is tube formed using an internal armature...

Josef, Beautiful work! Looking forward to more on this thread. Warmest regards, Gil

Test Piece After messing about for awhile the following turned out. There always seems to be another way of achieving construction of 3D structures with Rhino. The Grumman F9F was chosen as it seems the designers wore out their french curves in this one. It's not quite where I want it yet...

Darwin, Was it involved in a fierce night battle during WWII in the Pacific? Gil

Mike, I'm still savouring the kit and lo! away you go! I think you've got a whole lot of us looking in on your build. Best of luck on it and, ah, keep it way from heavy dropping things this time..., Best regards, Gil

Willja, I've tried the tutorial route and found that it's not as effective as just knowing the capabilities of the basic command set and actually doing a design project. Having prior knowlege in CAD helps a lot. Rhino's command set help function is sometimes rather curt and leaves one to...

Nice to see a submarine for a change...., also nice of you to take the time to post the build. Thanks! Gil

Ralf, How big is the model when assembled and shown as in the photographs? Is there a scale given? Gil

Tim, Thanks for proving the inverse. Now there's no reason I can think of to still use the "old" software. I actually have thought a lot about the cost of Rhino. Although comparably high it is incomparably good value. I believe that most all Rhino users would agree while those that...

Hi All, Finally had some time to sit down and work with Rhino for a while. Instead of doing a repeat on canned tutorials I reviewed Tim's unfinished work on using Rhino which was more than adequate to get enough inertia to allow real progress to be made. Tim has said it before and I'm...

Ok Roman, your 15 minutes are up! Now ship the product! Ok, now I begin to beg you to ship the product...., Please!!! Best regards, Gil

Roman, Absolutely beautiful. We are lucky to have a designer of your talent in our midst. Thank you for all the hard work! I placed my order and now anticipate Christmas in June..., Are there any additional items that need to be ordered to fully implement the model? Warmest regards, Gil

CRS, Very nice build! You communicate well in English. Try this site for posting your photos. It is free and allows posting a thumbnail on a website with redirection to the larger image on the net. http://imageshack.us/ Best regards, Gil

NYC Irish, Totally Cool! An amazing build..., one thing though, where's the dry dock? Best regards, Gil
