Re: 1/12 Lotus 99t NUNU
Okay, finally: due comments like "bitching", "so much crying", "acting like a child" - i will stop here with posting any details of the kit or my progress - because looks like everyone is happy with the kit and i'm the only one who expect quality for the price of this ...

Re: Senna - Netflix series
I doubt much was meant by it, but lets make sure to not make chauvinistic comments about drivers. No racing driver has gotten a ride needing millions of dollars of sponsorship because of who they supposedly slept with. Wow if ever there was a backhanded way of bringing something into the conversati...

Re: Senna - Netflix series
An insider of 250cc bike racing told me that someone advised a certain 250 rider to teach a lesson to another one by taking him off the track in a sector of the circuit where there were no cameras :lol: BR James Always fascinating to hear directly from someone who was there competing against or wor...

Re: Senna - Netflix series
I agree with James B, the Senna film was a bit bizarre in its Senna & Brazil against the world bias. It would be nice to see after thirty years a proper assessment of Ayrton. IHO he was a brilliant talent, but he corrupted the racers ethic with his thuggish on track antics. Had the FIA put the ...

Re: Soldering PE to white metal
I'm not saying it's not possible to solder white metal to steel This seems like a risk greater than any reward and in over 40 years around white metal kits I can't say that I recall seeing anyone solder white metal castings to photo-etched steel parts. Solder p/e elements together? Have at it. Pot ...

Re: Preparing white metal question
Hi, I must admit that I can’t see any advantage in using a tumbler… so I don’t have nor use one. Pascal The advantage is only in time saving. Someone building one model who has time on his hands has little or no reason to buy one. Someone building multiple models OR with limited time may think it i...

Re: Preparing white metal question
A cleaner more than a polisher. Probably worth mentioning something that I neglected to include in my earlier post and that is that magnetic polishers are designed to eliminate very tedious work in the jewellery industry. The pins are designed to get inside small items such as ring castings and the...

Re: Preparing white metal question
What do magnetic tumblers do? In short the Magnetic tumblers are a great tool to clean white metal parts. Instead of having to clean each part with a brass brush you can use the tumbler. If you do a lot of multi media kits it is a good tool to have. Visited a friend and used his and was quite impre...
