A couple of builds almost finished!

I used it for a seat cover on a junker, but never thought to try to wrap it around seats. Maybe I'll give that a try!

Awesome work!

Shaping up nicely!

Well done!

🤣 The only diff is that the Tesla wouldn't run over the kids!

Thanks, I never really change my print params except for temp based on the filament type. I just used the Super Quality setting in Cura with the 0.2 mm nozzle.

That's one wild build!

My first thought was that a weapon like that requires line of sight, and for that LOS to hold stable throughout the projectiles travel, which would only work if you're targeting fixed sites like buildings or bunkers. Since the projectile doesn't carry an explosive warhead, the hit would have to be dead-on to be effective. I did serve in the military but I'm no engineer, but that limitation seems a deal-killer to me. But hey, I've played video games with handheld rail guns, so what the hey! 🤣

Welcome to the forum!

Dunno what kind of printer you have, but I have a Creality Ender V2 and when I print stuff like that I switch my nozzle to a .02. It takes twice as long but a significantly smoother finish. I did this KG a couple of years ago with a 0.2 nozzle. I did a little bit of sanding but not finish work. I don't have any pics fresh off the printer tho.

Nice rust effects!

Quick update on my Vega. I had a problem I didn't foresee with the driveshaft, and then broke the accessory drive sorting it out, so a slight setback. I did finish the interior but will maybe add some detail before I install it. I also installed the glass in the body, installed the headlights & taillights, painted the turn signals, and added some black BMF to the trim. I'm getting there.

I disabled One Drive on both mine, and my wife's computers. We don't like having our files stored in the cloud. MS added this feature to push their cloud storage business. You can Google how to do it. CCleaner looks like a storage optimization program, and tho it may be good for cleaning unwanted files, it will not work as well as a good virus protection software. It works after infection has already occurred, and viruses are programmed to load before your operating system loads. CCleaner may never detect it. Your best option is a good anti-virus program. Any of the major brands will do. We use Firefox browser in our house (free) plus Norton anti-virus (pricey), but we've never, ever had a virus in over 40 years of owning computers. Although I've fixed many other peoples computers that had viruses, which always start with wiping the entire hard drive. Paying for a virus program (almost any brand) is the best and ultimately cheapest protection.

Killer detail, and top notch paint work!

Very nice work!! Beautiful stance with nice wheels. I like how the caps match the interior color. I've been mixing colors for a couple of years trying to get that interior color. I've been using burnt orange as a base. I think I'll cop your mix.

Its already gotten worse. My wife got an email that purportedly from Paypal. They even copied a legit email somehow, complete with logos and legit links. She's an officer in a club that posts their officers on their web page. Well this email indicated a problem with a membership payment, and included the names of the club president, and the VP of membership and asked her to clear up a payment issue by clicking a link. Of course she didn't, but it looked legit enough for her to call me in to check it out. NEVER, EVER click on any email link, even if you think its legit! They're getting really good at their scams!

You'll get a lot of different answers to that one!

Vacuform machine. I maybe need it for two possible builds. I did buy it after getting a windfall $ so I don't feel bad. Wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

Excellent work!

My wife used a pic of my late brother next to his car in the 80s and asked it to identify the year of the car using one of the AI sites. It did well but didn't quite nail it. The car was a 75 and the AI said it was a 77 - 80.

Beautiful build!

Welcome Mark!

Awesome work! Imma try to replicate your headlight trim rings for my build.

On the tire issue, some designers tend to use the same ID for the tire as the OD of the wheel. Misfit every time. It takes work to figure out what the difference is and I guess some designers don't know how or aren't willing to make the calculations. It could be that they'd rather them be too tight and need to be sanded, than too loose and require adding styrene to take up the slack.
