  1. I can only speak on my experiences but I've had the least success with acrylics. It could be my technique, as I'm no great painter. I've tried the 50/50 split enamel/thinner method and it is good to use to avoid clear coats, as it comes out shiny. Personally, I love pre-thinned lacquers for how they spray for me, but you need to clear them. In the end, your patience, practice, and personal preference will determine what's best for you. G'luck!
  2. I gave up on 3D printed headers. I've got about 3 sets that never fit the chassis that the engine is going in. Like Bill says, make your own.
  3. I bought the Mars 4 9K (the base version of the Max) a couple of months ago, and once I got it dialed in it prints awesome prints. Great detail and reasonably fast. Lots of good reviews on YouTube if you want a detailed review.
  4. Nicely done!
  5. Very well done!
  6. Very nice!
  7. I see on your site you sell them as a staggered set. Any way to get four of the 15x7? I need it for a 1:1 tribute that had that setup, I also don't think the 10" will fit. Thanks.
  8. Well, his pattern is what I had on my 76 TA I had back in the 80's. This whole post is surreal because I'm planning a a tribute to my 76 with the very tire/wheel combo he's offering.
  9. Sweet!
  10. Very nice!
  11. The square pan limits the options of what it could be. It isn't the greatest of replicas but it it intended to be pretty much hidden under the car. Its hard to tell because the bolt pattern isn't there, but the starter looks like its in the GM location. Based on the square pan and the short tail shaft housing I think its a GM 700R4.
  12. Yes, seems baffling. Try a different USB stick. Also try an exposure test. Another question; Are you printing flat on the plate? Pleas show a pic of your print supported in the slicer.
  13. Is it raising and lowering as it prints? Looks to me like its printing everything on just a couple of layers. Question, why do you print at 80%? I've never printed at less than 100% on either my Anycubic Zero or my current Photon Mars.
  14. ?With so few cars being produced today, young people don't have the opportunity, or need to learn how to drive a standard shift vehicle. The service probably can't find enough/any drivers that can drive one to park it. Also, it could be that the one stick shift driver they have is unavailable on some days.
  15. Very well done! You did better than me. My first resin build is in a landfill somewhere in Ohio. ?
  16. Nice work! Awesome weathering!
  17. Well said! There is rarely a clean break when a "new" idea comes into being. Transitional is a good word for it. Some people look at early gassers and question whether or not they are true gassers because they don't have the traditional look of a gasser, yet that's what they were classified as.
