  1. Nicely done!
  2. Very well done! Nice detail. I gave mine the bubble hood treatment too.
  3. Thanks for sharing the info! I think I'll give a look.
  4. I've got a Karmann Ghia that I need to print on my FDM printer and from what I've printed so far know I will need to do some putty work. The parts on the end were printed with the standard nozzle, but the middle piece was printed with a smaller 0.2 mm nozzle I bought later. The .2 nozzle takes a bit longer but as you can see, the detail is much better.
  5. A well done custom. Kudos!
  6. Nicely done!
  7. Nicely done! B-N-L Resins has a V6 that might work for you. They were MIA for a while but I've heard several folks say they've ordered lately and gotten quick turnaround. Its kind of a generic casting but decent. It comes with a turbo but I'd ditch that. http://www.b-n-lresins.com/shoppingopencart/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-engines-Ford-Diesel-Mopar-Oldsmobile-Toyota-Honda/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-hobby-model-Chevy-GMC-engine/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-model-Chevy-V6-Turbo-engine

    Awesome!
  9. Wow! Awesome project and detailing!
  10. The real fun comes in when you start designing your own stuff. The side pods, block, heads, swing arm, and gas tank I designed and printed on my FDM printer.
  11. I have seen online posts where they bought foil tape at dollar stores and got thinner tape than regular foil tape yet still a bit thicker than BMF and they liked it. Perhaps it depends on the source. The tape I have is way too thick for trim around windows etc. Also, the adhesive is extremely unforgiving. It will pull the paint right off.
  12. Beautiful work!
  13. Sweet-looking build right there!
  14. Nice work. Glad I didn't have issues with mine.
  15. Someone on FB said that B-N-L is back and they just received an order. You may want to check with them. http://www.b-n-lresins.com/shoppingopencart/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-drive-train-brake-rotors-transfer-case-transmission-rear-ends/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-drive-train-rear-ends-custom-unique-Dodge-Ford-Dana-Chevy/Aftermarket-resin-cast-1-24-1-25-scale-model-model-Rockwell-Axles-Num1
  16. I haven't seen any but those aren't the kinds of parts I've been looking for, as I do 1/24 and 1/25. I do think that designing your own in 1/12 shouldn't be that difficult. I did this PVVC conduit clamp just by measuring and basic cad drawing. I've also done a few simple model parts but just starting out.
  17. Fantastic work!
  18. Beautiful color on a sweet build!
