Model making is my hobby. I have enjoyed this hobby for many years. The parts in my shop were designed by me for my own projects. I decided to make them available for others to use.
Over the years I have been asked many time which items for painting and assembling my model I recomend. The following is some of the items I
use:
Mk 18 is a surface-laid bottom magnetic mine, cylindrical in shape (with the cylinder axis vertical), with a prominent vertical post protruding from it. The mine is provided with wheels beneath the cylinder so that it can be run down a track on board the laying ship. Total weight is 2140 lb, including 1440 lb of HBX-1. Dimensions: diameter 42 in x 72 in maximum height. Mk 18 was exported to U.S. allies in the 1950s, to be used to mine shallow strategic straits. There is no other U.S. ship-laid bottom magnetic mine of the same vintage.
