Ho Uwe,

Now you have to go there. It is a walk in a candy shop, much better then the nmmg where most models are in storage.
 
Last Friday I visited the Intermodelbau in Dortmund which is the biggest modelling trade show in the world.
For static ship modeling there is not much to see, except for tools and materials. This as the show is more focussed on RC.
Exept for some paper builders like this.

In scale 1:1250

But mainly RC ship.

If you like model trains, scenery, rc ship, truck, tanks and heavy machinery. This is the show to visit.

I came home with some nice Perma grid files, sanding sheets and diamond files for the work shop.

Oh and I now want an RC tank, that must be fun to build and protect my garden ROTF
 
Nice tool, Jan, no questions, but...your Admiral is awesome! I got the best Admiral ever because she always knew what she needed on my birthday. I got a present for my birthday as well (below). It works great and sounds great, the only minor inconvenience is that I cannot use it for scale modeling. but...I got a fresh French loaf every week.

Nothing really exciting…..a new shelf added to the workshop……in the corner under the desk top. I sort of almost nearly know where everything is.View attachment 443806

Love your very organized work station. Looks like you have a few models ready to be built. That’s unusual ROTF
How do yo decide which chair to sit in?
How do you decide which model to build next?
Would love to see a build log regardless of which you choose.
Thanks for posting.

I don't think she (Admiral) has one, but I am not worried at all. She will get one as a present for my next birthday...ROTFROTFROTF

And Jim will change out the bearings, add a vertical dividing head, a 200mm collet and a variable electronic pastry detector ROTF

Ordered from Amazon and shipped from Micro Mark. Have seen these advertised and had to try one :rolleyes:
Ran a few test cuts on various materials and this thing does cut. You have to be careful and keep the blade moving or it will burn, as you can tell if you look closely at the tip of the blade which shows some discoloring. Redface

I was looking for a way to cleanly cut openings for cannons. I believe this is just the ticket.

Be interested to hear what others have experienced with this tool.

It does have a 50/50 duty cycle to avoid overheating and it will shut down if you exceed a 10-minute continuous run time.

In a moment of weakness, trying to get the best shaping of frames over keel, etc., I purchased the more expensive and powerful version of the above, the Wondercutter X. It turns out the one I received was defective, as while it would power on and work, it would not power off - every time it was powered off, it would turn on immediately. I had to pull the power cord, and then when plugging in, got a tiny spark.

I did try it for some operations on my CAF Granado, and did not find anything that it was a real aid in the work. It can't do deep or thick cuts, pieces held in the hand heat up due to the vibrations so they cannot be held, etc. Now, working on frames and thicker pieces, I could not give it a thorough test, but I did try to simulate what I felt needed it for, and it just was not a real improvement for me. Certainly not worth the $700! price (again, for me). I can see where it might work great for cutting gun ports, as you say, and it would be great for veneer work. But I returned it and am happier having done so.
 
Sorry the Rotary tool I posted about is only available in South Australia at certain stores, pick up only,

best regards John ,
