  1. Bob, Excellent chance of that... Ettore
  2. Everything mentioned above is toxic. Wear rubber gloves and old clothes and wash afterwards. And as Art mentions, use outdoors. Ettore
  3. LDO, Suits me fine. I'm sure I can dig up something interesting for you. Ettore
  4. Long Distance Operator, That Judkins is looking seriously good. Going to cast it? Ettore
  5. I was not aware of the differences, which I see now. Having done a bit of resin casting and scratchbuilding, I am certain it would be less expensive and less work to convert the plastic kit. Ettore
  6. Andi, What vintage type cars are you working on? Ettore
  7. Fabulous! When will it be released and by whom? Ettore
  8. An exhibit of 500 Bugatti related items and models, from 1/200th scale to a real Bugatti will be held from Sept 9 until Oct. 27, 2007 in the Ontario Co. Historical Society and Museum in Canandaigua, N.Y. This will be the largest exhibit of Bugatti models and will feature items from 1902 to 2007. For more information check this website: http://canandaiguacan.com/cdgabug, then click on "History in Miniatures" for a pdf file. Ettore
  9. Not yet. My interest would only to be to model the cars in computer to mill the bodies, not do the "virtual models". I hang out at www.smcars.net. Thousands of plans there and many very good modelers (virtual modelers). I have a 19 year old German virtual modeler wiz interested in modeling some of the cars i would like to mill out and build.

  10. I'm on dialup connection now so too slow to upload images. Go to: www.rockcliffmachine.com for info and pictures. Also go to cnczone.com and register; then search for the rockcliff discussion thread. Plenty of info there. I have high hopes for this machine. and there are several others interested, too. I've spent too many days carving out masters and filling and recarving again and again. Ettore
  11. All parts cut, base and frame put together. I put Y table on frame but found that the Y table was wrapped because I used water based primer to prime it so that threw the parallelism of the rods off. Remade the Y table-oil based primer this time on the MDF -and am about to mount it again. Those rods have to be really parallel or they will bind. I epoxyed the oilite bearings in. Thought about a 4th axis to make 1/24th scale masters. Without a 4th axis to make a master, it would have to be a 2 piece master; not such a big problem but with a 4th axis, a bit easier. Ettore
  12. When will the Duesenberg and Bugatti bodies be released? Ettore
  13. 4th axis??? I've given that a bit of thought. Maybe we should talk. Will you be at the Southern Nationals this November in Atlanta? Ettore
  14. Very nice work. What kind of cnc router did you build? I'm now working on one from the rockcliff plans. Cutting volume 12" X 12" X 5' - plenty large enough for 1/24th scale. Ettore
