    M EK will join most plastics but the best adhesive I've found is Plastic Magic. It even joins so called impossible plastics. I don't know of one it won't join

    Best suggestion i Can give is a good industrial barrier cream. Like Rosalex but more modern.Better for Elf'n safety too.Use cocktail sticks or splints of wood to apply small amounts of glue etc. You can't be that bad if you're on the 3rd build though.We all suffer for our hobby like that to some extent . I well remember biting balsa and plastic cement off my fingers. Barring solvents ( Chloroform ,Ether , Acetone,Celly thinners etc) still the best way to shift it. Also use disposable tweezers to handle small parts or steel ones you can scrape or burn off Good luck John.πŸ˜› P S I found a liquid called Plastic Magic. It is applied to the closed( close fitting )joint with the tip of a fine brush. Just a drop. It shoots along the joint by capillary action. Gravity helps too.πŸ€”. I've yet to find a plastic it won't glue/join.brilliant stuff. regards holding things steady to dry many things can be used. Pins,bulldog ,clips,clothes pegs, steel blocks,Lego type blocks

    Welcome I too have been modelling since about '55 making simple lateen πŸ‘Žsail yachts. Celluloid sails a round lolly stick a block of wood and a bit of steel for a keel. Dad cut the steel with a hackie and made the slot for it. They sailed surprisingly well. I've not made much contribution here as I'm not active just now but I add the odd comment or idea into the mix. Ha Ha I don't know if I've helped anyone but no one has complained. YET LOL. We are all le⚑🚀arning so stick with us and enjoy.

    To up/down the S/l would need a cage or frame carried on the base of the pivoting lamp. On this would need to be arranged a very small motor with a spiral gear driving as large a cogwheel as possible and a connecting rod attached to it nr centre and the lamp.LOW voltage big cog small spiral or spur gear for slow motion. AS always experiment

    Well done that man. Lovely job Re paints I've not been in a LMS for some time now but I recall Humbrol did an approximately double the size pot of the "Tinlets" Are they still made? Also Valspar and Japlac did small tins. Guessing about a quarter or third of a pint.

Currently docked in West float Duke street.Her paintwork is showing signs of rust in places. There are no plans to bring her back into service. Ask uncle Google for more.

    I've been given a very smart camera will do video as well as stills. Too clever for me by half. It has disc to load into my comp to enable all sorts of things like loading film from the camera. Also has a chip/ memory card. what i want to do is upload pics from the mem card without loading the disc? Is this possible?πŸ‘

    I found when fitting spray rails to use triangular stock like trailing edge section for aircraft wings. it looks neat and bends more easily than square stock.Fitted thin edge up the right angled face forming the deflecting face. Filled and sanded it blends well into the hull. Maybe not true scale but looks nice. it comes in many sizes and suppliers.SLEC is one for starters and Hobbies is another. Balsa Cabin another. Just loads if you use uncle Google.πŸ‘

    IIRC means if I Recall Correctly. No the hinges are vertical A La Park Gates The closing edges secured by a rod or bar dropped through holes in welded on overlapping plates with holes in them. The hinges are made likewise. Plates with holes in supported by round bars welded to plates welded to the side. Maybe to a rib or stanchion for strength. The "gates" opened outwards. I hope you can follow this and it helps.πŸ‘

    The "OZONE" smell is as partner said ,at least in part. As they bed in they arc a little and burn off any oil on the commutator. Very common on model trains. it will settle down with use.πŸ‘
