Digger, considering this was my first work with a Dremel I was none too calm. lol
Yup, that started as a 21st M113 - it was done by BillGiff who is around here somewhere - he can comment.

Hope you were careful with that dremel - I just heard of an XD injury and it reminded me how they are looming... :shock:

No worries. I even wear eye protection. Although it did give me fits when I was cleaning up my Tiger's new headlight bracket. I discovered thin styrene behaves differently than thick styrene. lol
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Good point! I've also had a few slipups in my modeling career, one came a few months ago when I cut my hand deeply when an exacto knife slipped... It was sort of a puncture wound, about the size of this ' l ' on the screen and it bled like heck :?

It healed up quite well, however!

Thank`s to all for the kind words on my flashback of customs up above :D

Appreciate the kind words :D
Razor,
HAHAHAHA Very funny mate,I like that :D

Problemchild,
Thank`s & it`s great that we DO now have a Custom section :D So thank`s to you & All the others who`ve hounded P51 :D

Centone,
Thank`s mate. As for medium for sculpting I always use milliput (old fav of mine).Plus it`s great for little household probs :D

As for injuries I think we`ve all got them from our hobby....LOL My one major tip is NEVER use a scalpal after an argument. I didn`t pay attention & went to cut something & didn`t notice the blade was upside down,so I pushed & pushed all the way to the bone DoH!! :shock:

For dremeling Safety glasses/goggles are a MUST.

Ich liebe den Geruch von Sturzkampfflugzeug morgens.
