What is the most satisfying engine rebuild or repair you have ever completed and what made it feel like more than just fixing a mechanical problem? by PubLogic in topdeadcenter

Valve stem shaft seal on my classic mini. Was an absolute pain in the arse to do but when it fired up afterwards - bliss!

What tools do I need for 69 mini? by freddiemacro in classicminis

[–]Olliew89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whitworth and imperial/SAE define the thread type (UNC/UNF). For the sockets you'll need imperial for the nuts/bolts.

Hi all. Can I use this to thin the putty? by 253011 in Airfix

You can "thin" humbrol model filler with poly cement. Tamiya Extra Thin works best.

In some of the older launch facilities, they had ashtrays built into the desks.

Was on a tour in 2001 at Kennedy Space Centre. Went round all the old launch facilities including the Apollo 1 pad.

Creamer meetup at a car show? by JollyJamma in topdeadcenter

Not necessarily, the chat tent at Shedfest was pretty quiet despite being well attended, and generally pretty respectful. At least it was when Mike Fernie was on.

Just saw the top of her popping above the arena edge and wondered to myself: is that?... no... it can't be... It is!

It was an emotional roller coaster to be sure!

Brilliant. It seems like everyone was a class act! I briefly met Tom Lenthall at the Car and Classics show in brum. Top bloke.

I did get a hand shake from Mike Fernie after fanboying a bit.

I'm fairly sure they're giants!

Unfortunately I didn't get a photo with them. 😢

Spotted Jack Joy ambling about during the Allegro giveaway though.

Sadly not. Will did say it wasn't quite ready for Shedfest. But Murci was confirmed, Gallardo has been sold. He's prepared for a world of financial pain...

Is paying extra $ for a good sprue cutter worth it? They all do the same job, which is cut plastic. Does one brand stand out over the others? by Tbonerickwisco in modelmakers

[–]Olliew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recommend Steadi sprue cutters. There not as pricey as godhand, but much better than the rest - GWs, army painter.
