Thanks Andrew appreciated

Good to see you again.
That marking for the boot topping is a bit over the top lol.

Great to see you cracking Z30 Bob, she is looking really good.

[Jim R]

Glad you feel able to go back to the bench. I'm sure it is the right thing to do.
You're making steady progress and she's starting to look the part. Older kits almost always require a lot of extra work but the effort it worth it.

Thanks Ian, thought it was for the crew to stand on to paint the hull lol

Hi Jim many thanks. Agree the difference between this and the latest kit is huge, thanks to slide moulds

[BattleshipBob]

Well folks, still about.

To get certain things of my mind, at least for a while I attacked the terrible moulded line on the hull side. See last photo.

So ideal chance to test the dspiae small electric drill / sander I got from John.

It has three speeds, so the top line shows it's at 2nd speed and the bottom line is the battery charge. It comes with a single drill but not the attachments or sanding discs

The sanding discs are behind and they just stick to the top of the pin which is locked into place by two grub screws and a Allen key, this is stored on the rear of the drill.

Very impressive, I tend to sand far too hard ( no doubt from working on trucks) and more than often destroy everything in my path lol. The discs are 5mm so you can sand a small area very well. Sanding the line quickly, in two steps then finished with a very fine sanding pad. Line gone.

Bob looks like a useful tool.

Silly question Bob, the DSPIA tool is it rotary or oscillating? Be nice for an oscillating sander. At the moment I use my Dremel with the extension tool for more control. An oscillating sander would be a useful addition!!

Hi Paul

I think it is, not sure if a review is required?

Hi Mr wasp!

It's rotary but I also have the oscillating one. John stocks them both. Very good quality

Ah, so they do an oscillating sander. That will go on my wish list then. Thank you. Nice to know they are good.

I have one of those thingies as well, just a purple one- exactly the same other than the colour. I would be more impressed if they had an ordinary 'pin-vice' collet type chuck.
Getting a drill centered in these in pretty much impossible.
