Another option for chisel blades is this.....

Not the cheapest, but probably better than the Trumpeter range as the blades are easily replaced rather than resharpened...have a look through the Swann Morton web site, there are things there than will make you wince.....

Damn , those look good!
They'll have to wait until I'm back off furlough and my drastically reduced salary, though:worried:

It’s just Steampunk moved forward thirty years or so, into the Jazz age and beyond.....there are all sorts of weird offshoots in the war gaming fraternity.

Ever played Crimson Skies, either the computer game or the hex map version by FASA?

Once or twice on PC, but I used to get shot down regularly by airships....didn’t help that my PC at the time was underpowered and the game didn’t run that smoothly..thought it was an interesting concept though..l.

While the cat's away....

With Zoë being at the office today, and the shed being hotter than the sun, I commandeered the kitchen table. SWMBO already has the Dining Room table as her WFH space, so it was the next best thing

With the front and back doors open there was a lovely through-draft keeping me cool, so I cracked on with adding some pipes & wires to the crane. I know the flexible hoses should be thicker than the hard lines really, but had to make do with what I had (and what would stick!) ~0.5mm steel wire for the pipes, 0.4mm lead wire for the hoses and some copper stripped from a bit of old flex for the cable.

It's a fragile as a fragile thing on Delicate Island, but I've planned so that I can paint it separate from the main rig, hopefully reducing accidents!

Almost forgot to add this picture. I did some more work on the mounting for the crane too. It needs tidying up a bit and some added detail, but it's a start.

Don't take long to cover a table when you're scratchin' does it? :smiling:

Coming along nicely.

Cheers Dave.

Yes, I kept going backwards and forwards to the shed getting more stuff, and pretty soon I'd spread far & wide :smiling5:

Looking fine Andy!

Andy,
Lovely details mate.

[Guest]

Very cool, and a good use of all the junk you accumulate in the spares box

[Guest]

Thanks all.

I'm reaching the limits of my eyesight and dexterity with this. And patience at times lol

Great work Andy, you are turning into a modeller with some great skills. This scratchery is impressive, most impressed. Believe in yourself mate.

[papa 695]

Coming along very nicely Andy.

[Jim R]

Coming together a treat. Scratching skills are impressive.

Believe in yourself mate.

Oh yes.
