That's cheaper than Evergreen on the bricks and roofing -
Great trade with Kennyboy, well 2 of them back to back.

Yup, mine wheels will be going up on Ebay as soon as i get my kit. God they are ugly!! They look like something that should be on a truck or Jeep
-
That is a good idea! I will have to look into that my next trip there. Thanks!

What kind of blades does it take? Are they special made for the Chopper or just run of the mill razor blades?
-
Click on the Ebay link i posted above, it will take you to the one i just bought. They are the greatest thing made next to sliced bread!!! This is my first diorama so i am mainly relying on how i would build a real house since i have many years doing that. I will be trying the way you suggested on the next wall because this way sucked!
-
Wow, what a nice build!
-
Thanks, i hope it turns out fairly good. Mine cant get here soon enough, got to wait till Saturday to get the stupid thing! I will tear into it then!
-
That is a great idea, I was sitting here thinking how i could keep all the studs lined up while the glue was setting up. Thanks!

This is the only one that ive seen like this. Every other one only has 1 arm.

I was a carpenter for 8 years, ive built around 200 houses, 600+ apartments, 50+ garages and many more odd things. This is bringing the love of building back to me!

I got a killer deal, its the extended one with 3 chopping handles, 6 cutting angle blocks and extra blades for 45.00 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chopper-III-Mitre-Cutter-stripwood-dollhouse-miniature-woodworking-/151185019659?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=%252BT%252FqRAW5QQsi%252B%252BBPYLUn7scsRpg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Thanks!

After about 3 years of waiting my wife pushed me into building my first diorama. I will be building it 1/24 scale mainly to photograph my models and to also enter in another category at model shows. Here's the beginning stages. I now have a Chopper III on the way after thinking i could cut the studs square with an x-acto knife...lol stupid me. I first cut 3 sections of 3" Basswood then ripped them down to a 1/8" thickness. That was super fun! I have all the studs glued to the bottom plate right now and will finish the top plate before bed. Hoping tomorrow to have the window opening framed in and the plywood on the outside of the first wall. Looking back i should have set the wall studs on a 24" center rather than a 16" like the plans call for.

I hope they are nice rims. I plan on using them on my 57 Chevy build and building the Camaro stock.

You bet. I love to support local shops but i have a very small budget to buy and build with, got to strech the pennies where i can. It also makes the wife happy, after all she is the only one working, im a stay at home dad still.
