Jim Barry Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) This is outstanding! I scratched a 1/24 Hawker Fury to add to my basic 1/24 Airfix collection (unbuilt) because I'm sure it will never be a production kit. Your road here is similar but MUCH bigger. 1/12 is not just twice as long as 1/24, it's also 16 times the volume (2x2x2). Pantograph. I was just thinking about this tool for the scratch builder. I need one! Edited June 9, 2022 by Jim Barry LSP_Matt, rafju and daHeld 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Matt Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Wow. I'd never thought to use a Dremel in a mount like that as a milling machine. Clever idea and the Dremel itself probably won't be any worse the wear for it. Great project coming along brilliantly. I think we'd all love a handheld 3D scanner that creates a point cloud in CAD software. Cheers Matty daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
