- Has Your Model Ship Sunk?
by Derek Wood. Perhaps you thought of getting a new tall ship model lately, if so, you might have given some consideration to building one. The choice of whether to build or buy does not even take into concern the type of ship you are looking to get and that will be left to your preference.
In any case, there are several issues to dwell on when making such a choice. Factors that must be accounted for include s... products, articles, news
- Building Your Own Model Boat
by Victor Epand. I've looked through numerous catalogs, consulted a friend that runs a hobby shop and so far have come up empty. I have not been able to find plastic or wood models of any ancient Egyptian vessels. At this point I can only recommend that you might consider scratch building one. There seems to be reference on several versions, with Chop's barge being the most covered subject.
The fist problem I ca... products, articles, news
- Replacement For Model Trucks
by Victor Epand. I think anybody makes a replacement metal truck that just screws on and provides exact coupler height. I have replaced trucks but always had to do some work on the car, either cutting the pin off and re-drilling a hole and filling the existing hole with plastic spree or other filler's, then drilling and tapping the hole.

This is extremely dangerous. The materials should be something that will disintegrate if it impacts something. Paper, balsawood or thin plastics.
I also don't think attaching motors to your RC truck would do much if anything, but ... products, articles, news

There are several sources; most online model suppliers carry this material. Some suppliers even claim that their paper is manufactured especially for ink jet printers. Secondly there are four methods I am familiar with:

- Wooden Or Plastic Model Of A Boat
by Victor Epand. Many years ago Sterling had a wooden kit of the USS Missouri in a fairly large scale. Unfortunately Estes bought the assets of Sterling and the Missouri is not currently available. I hate to think what one might run on EBay. About the only option today would be a plastic model and about the biggest is 1/350th. Tamiya has a good kit, but if you want wood you will pretty much be out of luck.

- Cleaning And Care Of Your Model Train
by Victor Epand. This is something you con do yourselves, but I'm going to suggest you take it to the train store and ask them to show you how. The reason is that each locomotive is a little different. They come apart differently, they use different materials, and so forth.
The basic concept is fairly simple. Remove the locomotive shell. Clean out any dirt with a can of compressed air is often handy for this, th... products, articles, news
