Ace-Garageguy Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 More tooling and accessories for the Unimat... Quote
Lordmodelbuilder Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Scored a couple parts bins at a yard sale. The 1st one is just like one I have. The seller threw in the 2nd one for free. Quote

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 50 minutes ago, cobraman said: Have you had a chance to make anything with that yet Bill ? Yes sir. I'm making a bunch of small parts for a custom instrument panel I'm building for a real DeLorean, and for models, I've been able to turn some aluminum wheel sleeves that fit turned-down centers of plastic kit wheels...and turning plastic kit rims to fit aftermarket centers (like the PE wire centers made for aircraft models that will work as cycle wheels for dragsters). Had to get a slow-speed setup to be able to turn plastic parts (so they don't melt), and the company that sold me that also makes repop drive belts in modern materials. Most of the original belts are hard and dry by now (40 to 50+ years old), but there are enough people using these machines that lotsa parts are available, some newly manufactured. There's a lot of NOS stuff floating around too. The little tool will do just about everything my big mill and lathe will do, just on a vastly reduced scale. Quote
Rob Hall Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Came in the mail today—a few kits from Japan and a couple Round 2 new releases. Quote

Mike999 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 The R2 '55 Chevy Cameo pickup was also $32.99 at my closest Hobby Lobby. Same price for the "Art Box" '59 El Camino and we don't even get a Coke machine! Quote

Ich_Will Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 I’m determined to get organized. Grabbed this at ikea. One drawer for each ongoing project: Ferrari F40, Porsche 962, Miura, 500SL, GT3, DTM Audi, and DTM C63... plus two drawers for paint cans. Quote
