Did you upgrade from 98 to 2000 or do a fresh install? It's possible that you have not installed the correct drivers for your graphics card, if you tell me the manufacturer I can tell you where to find them. When your computer is starting check for words such as nVidia or ATI. Windows 2000 is...

For my whitemetal kits I have used mostly cyanoacrylate (super glue), where I live most of the hobby shops carry a brand called ZAP which comes in three different viscosities. I use the medium stuff for pretty much everything, it does take a little longer to dry but it doesn't run everywhere...

I've tried that with a variety of keywords, no such luck. :( I wonder if www.gooogle.com.jaffanet would have better results for chappa eye. :thumb:

*digs up old post* What schematics/drawings did you use for the stargate? I'm thinking of doing something similar myself but I havent found anything accurate to base it on.

If you aren't interested you dont have to read it... Isn't this the kind of thing we put in the academy? Or can that only happen when its finished because posts can't be replied to?

What about using your favourite water making resin (envirotex etc) to make a normal lake and then using fine grain sandpaper to rough up the surface so that it does all opaque and frosted looking. You could also try painting the surface of the lake with some kind of paint that will get rid of...

Two days later I can see fine and there's no discomfort. I think it's going to be fine.

Thats why you have two! :D

I washed my eye as soon as i got the primer into it and it was only a very small amount. My eye feels fine and doesnt look red or anything. I can still see straight so I'm guessing things are ok. But yes... it's a lesson learned, i shall wear safety glasses from now on!

Does anybody know what getting a small amount of Metal Etch Primer (I'm guessing phosphoric acid) diluted 50/50 with Methylated Spirits (98% Ethanol) would do if it got in your eye? I managed to splatter some while cleaning my air brush. Yes I know I should have been wearing safety goggles but...

Can somebody explain this to me? In Australia only the person making the call (either to or from the "cellular phone" pays for the call...

Thats not a B class... this is a B class! or this... As for a D class... :D

Depends... if that noise in the middle was a connie, well theyve been gone for a long time. :cry: On the other hand... if it was the sound of the wheels sqeaking on sub standard track then you're right on! :D Would you beleive some of the new ones have a horn!?!?!

It runs on HO gauge track although... In my part of Australia all of the electric heavy rail/EMU's as well as most of the freight and interstate passenger traffic runs on broad gauge track of 5'6" while the trams run down the middle of the streets on standard gauge track of 4'8.5" So if I...

This is the Melbourne B2 class Light Rail Vehicle I've been working on, more commonly known as a "double tram" or "long tram". :D It's a whitemetal kit that I've glued together and it's just received its first coat of primer. The body is constructed and i put the Bowser mech in to see how it...

I have this one of my home city of Melbourne. I have a few others like it but this is the only 'rail-related' one. Sorry about the tiny size, but I cant upload anything more than 640 pixels wide. :cry:

Do Americans normally not pronounce the L in soldering? It sounds weird to me hearing the guys on the videos on that site saying soddering :confused: It looks like a good tool, I'll have to see where I can find one down under :D

Woodie, I found this when I searched for whitemetal in the forum, you don't have any tips to offer? The Dog Boxes are the Harris I and II right? Yes the Victorian Hobby Centre in Swanston street has the model trams, they even have a few SWs painted and ready to run. I think VHC is the...

see bottom of post for some background info... Hi all, I'm just getting in to suburban modelling, specifically modern melbourne (Australian) trains (sparks) and trams (light rail). There doesn't seem to be any model trains around at the moment but I'm told some Comengs are on their way...

Hi all, I haven't posted here for ages but I'm going to give the hobby another go. Currently I'm building a small layout. Its about 2m long but only wide enough for two lines of track. The front track can be seen and the rear is hidden behind a stone wall, along with some automatic switching...
