Better for a man to have a short lens than a short nose.

Unless you're Pinocchio....

Pretty. Soil in eastern SA is a lot redder, mind you. But I don't take that into account in my own basing, and I've lived there. By the way, Zulu students were most disappointing; they aren't all magnificent seven-foot-tall black Viking types.

Some of the older ones I saw were decidedly wizened.

hi there I totally agree with you about the soil being much redder but I'm kinda ignoring it so I dont have to change to much scenery.

Superb. Wish I could persuade mine to do the same. 

[Albie Bach]

That's brilliant.
I chamfer the edge of thinner mdf using a Stanley knife. I find that easier than filing or rasping and there is less dust. I don't know how that would work with that thickness though.

[toxicpixie]

Those Kraal's are nice, but that Rorkes Drift is superb!

Lucky man

[Maenoferren]

Superb. Wish I could persuade mine to do the same. 

I pointed out that I felt my good lady wife was remiss in not providing me with something similar. I will write more when I have removed the pencil from my nose.

Very nice indeed...the models that is..not the pencil.

Interesting project. You are lucky in that your missus takes an active interest, the closest I could get was when she started a collection of unmentionables playing as a female D&D Fighter. Historical, forget it, you have more chance of nicking the pontiffs headgear.

To get chamfered edges I use my trusty Dremel. Might be more dusty but it is faster and there is far less swearing and / or blisters involved.

[Hertsblue]

Hope you wear a suitable mask. MDF dust is nasty stuff.

Oh, yeah, I was told years ago that it's carcinogenic and that in other countries it has warning labels on it.
