Bob, there are a couple of things I would like you to talk about if you could. How small are some of these pieces you're making? Could you put the recent platform next to a scaling object like a penny or quarter so we can see?

Another is concerning the Chopper. You warned me about the Chopper slicing off to one side. I have noticed this. You suggested that I use a double sided blade to keep the blade from wandering like this, but it continues to happen. It seems like the Chopper is really only good for plastic with a small thickness or diameter. Have you been able to counter the blade movement?

Thanks! Keep progress pictures coming!

Top knotch as always, Bob. Like the ratcheting up the side. Did you drill those holes out or manage to find a piece already done?
You certianly have the eye for spotting those opportunities for extra detail. :thumbs_up_1:

Superb work Bob but I think you missed a couple of rivets :heh: :heh:

How many bits of styrene did that take?

Nice one Bob - the superstructure of the New Jersey is riddled with loudspeakers so I know what it's like...
