    I mean you totally could do CAD without arms and legs I mean Stephen Hawkins can completely talk through a computer they got some complex software now that could let you use your eyes I guess if you had no eyes they could probably attach it to your chin or something but I guess if you had no chin no eyes no arms no legs You probably couldn't use a computer at all

    I think you can still can, with a implanted device that uses neural signal.

    I think they are still working on the updates.

    "Likes" and changing pages still only work for me ( using Chrome and Firefox on Windows ( 10 and 11 ) and Linux) when I connect using http:// (insecure) vs https:// (secure)

    for example http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/185663-forum-problems-please-read/page/4/#comment-2804780 everything works as expected

    whereas:  https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/185663-forum-problems-please-read/page/3/#comment-2795604   does not work as expected

     

    cheers, Graham

     

     

     

    Now all is working! Thanks!

    Wait a minute, so scratch building can not be learned, I mean sure if you don't have arms or legs, but CAD takes no natural ability? I agree that scratch building is something that has natural skill, but CAD is no different, I have seen all sorts of "designers" use CAD that makes me cringe. Seems a little belittling to right off 3D modeling so easily as something anyone can do as I can assure you that's not the case.

    I doubt you can use CAD without arms and legs... :D It could be the same with scratch building, how many people on this forum scratch build a complex object,(with complex object I mean not bend a plastic rod and consider it scratch building). :)? Few only, in the last 10 years on this forum I saw only a handful scratch building a car. Why this? Nobody whant to learn how to scratch build? In the other hand I saw more people start to using 3D software and printers.

      Great looking Impala Fabrisio. Love the interior. Can you tell me where you got the material  for the fur? I have a project  this would work great in. Thanks

     

    Jerry

    I ask at the costume person at work if they had a material that could work in 1/25 scale. They gave me to try few pieces, I liked this one because is softer, even after the color is applied. Thank you Jerry!

    Looking good... where in the world did you come up with the material for the interior?

     I ask at work if they had a material that can suit my project. I work as Model maker for an animation studio. :)

    Following. That is quite the fuzzy interior.

    Yes, A pain to make but worth it! :D

    Very recognizable car, although the driver door trim should be removed for screen accuracy. That interior is spot on, it will be interesting to see how you do the dingle balls on the roof rails.

    For some reason I cannot change the title of the tread... The trim on the door is removed, maybe the light make it too shiny.

    That came out great. And it's something different and looks good in the yellow you chose.

    The yellow is similar to the one they used on the Suzuki LJ 20 in the 70's. Thank you David!

    Looks great! These little Suzukis sell well here in Australia. 

    We used to have a LJ 80, great gear ratio for mountains trail. I wish they could import it in the US. Thank you Garry!

  9. Little progress on this one... 
    Drilled out the front head light, will replace them with clear one.

     IMG_6283.thumb.JPG.a5fdb4bd7301d6a97a795bbfdb3bc375.JPG

    The interior got some upgrade too... I made new steering wheels, rear speakers and key chain... :)
    IMG_6306.thumb.JPG.cb730629652907a9348c74e521c1f999.JPG

    The rest of the interior got new upholstery... And is completed. It was teh most tricky interior I hawe done. but I think it came out good.
    Before start, i painted few parts on the interior and painted chrome.

  10. I just finish this one. It is a Suzuki Jimny from Aoshima, snap kit in 1/32. All the pieces fit great, great quality molding and casting, in fact you can build it without painting it. The decals also are very good, not water slide, but paper decal.
    I modified it little bit cutting the front bender bottom part and fill the tail light on the rear bumper. Also decided to make new steele wheels instead of the one that came with the kit.

    I decided to give it a retro look, so I painted the grille, mirrors and rear bumper the same color of the body, front bumper painted white. Like the old LJ20 from the early 70's. 
    Fun and fast kit to build!

    IMG_6321.thumb.JPG.efbea25cc7004fd4cea38d85af71d42f.JPG

    Here the work on front and rear bumper. The front one I had to add a piece on the bottom to cover where i cut. the rear I had to add a piece across because it looks better.

    It should be a fun build.

    It has the winning combination of being a fairly simple kit and it's nicely cast.

    Good opportunities for a great looking build.

    David G.

    It is always fun to build! :) Agree on the casting, it is pretty nice and clean, with minimal flashing.

    This kit is the same as the original issue. For more detail you could slip a '62 chassis under it.

    Good to know about the '62 chassis. Thanks Bob!

    I avoid the forward metal axle by replacing it with short plastic rods the size of the axle.  I glue them on so they don't roll on the table.  I even did this to the Revell Foose Ford FD-100 pickup.

    I usually live the metal axle, ora add metal pins if needed, I find it more secure to hold the weight of the car.

    I’ll follow along. These are one of my favourite Chevys.

    I like better the '62, but this is a specific build and need a '64. :)

    Looks like a good start on this 64 Chevy.  Looks like the heads of a 409 setting there.

    I just paint the motor, soon I'll post some photos. Thank you Bob!

    Glad you mention this is drivable since it looks more like a structure. Great looking finishes. 

    Thanks David! It is based on the real barnmobile.

    Awesome piece, I'd love to see more pics of it!

    I'll post few, the rest with the build are on my instagram. I cannot post the link for some reason.

    Incredible!  Was this based on a real prototype or simply created from your imagination?

    It is based on an existing barn-vehicle. It seems that the 1/1 one has a Chevy van under it. Than kyou Alan!

  16. It is finally finished, way fun to build it! The running gear/chassis is out of a 1986 Chevy El Camino SS. Steering wheels, seat and hubcaps are from the spare part box, so no idea where they came from. The barn is scratchbuilt, also all the tools on it, shovel, bucket, lantern, light ficture, horse shoe and scythe. I had particular fun making the scythe and the wind mill. The wind mill will spin! :D
