Paul,
All looking very good mate.

 

[Steve Jones]

Thats coming along really well Paul. What do you use for twine at such a small scale??

 

[minitnkr]

Steve, I'm still using up black cotton cable that came w/Wespe Models 4ton wrecker. I have several versions of metal scale cable, but find them only useful for straight runs or tightly managed bends.

Hi Paul
Really good but even more so at this scale.

Paul,, great work as everyone has mentioned..I still don’t know how you achieve such great detail at this scale..keep it coming.. looks like we may be getting some of that white cold stuff this week here ❄️

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Joe. Don't know any better. Yeah, "...winter is coming...". I hope streets are clear when my LT1 Camaro 6spd. comes in. PaulE

Does this mean you are giving up on the 'Vette?

Been meaning to ask if you had to treat the cotton cable to remove any fuzz...I noticed there isn't any and looks good at that tiny scale.

Cheers,

NO FUZZ Richard, straight from Wespe Models. It's why I love it & use it sparingly.
No way Rick, but I'm going to have to give up my go-fast Victory Red 2012 5.3L V8 Canyon pick-up w/only 16K miles on it. It's still Cherry & I dread some kid wrapping it around a pole or rolling it like the last truck I sold. You can have it for 10.5K. What the dealer is giving me. PaulE

Very nice work Paul, especially in that scale.

Thanks for the offer Paul......think I'll pass, my '06 5.9 Ram Diesel does just fine.
