Well I've read the article multiple times and nothing is really putting me off and i have just one question Does a bigger printer need a bigger wash station? Since i enjoy building modern vws and the few that are in plastic are already in my stash more than once i think this will be a good addition to my model room. Just from the few sites I've looked through I've found nearly every car since 1974 except for the skoda 110s. I think if i get the biggest printer i can afford it would be worth my while as i could sell on any extras pretty easily if my prints are any good. I'm not planning it as a business, but since 2 will print as fast as one it seems almost daft not to do it. The drawing stuff myself will take a bit of time for me to learn but i sit on a boat with nothing to do 160+ hours a month so it'll give me something to do instead of watch videos and eat. I did notice while looking around the available cars that pre 60 seems very sparse compared to the modern stuff. I'm getting excited by the prospects this has with everything i read and i hope it compliment my current tools. I just wish my dad was still alive to see this, he loved star trek since he was a child and always wished replicators were real, I guess they are now

q-tip and thinners will clean it off, it might get messy so do it some cardboard or something

I'm not sure if theres a way that wont damage the chrome unfortunately. I have the parts from a 50 convertible kit if you think they would work. I dont need them as i built a custom from it

mine arrived in ecosse (it means scotland) today, just in time for me to learn more about 3d printing before taking the plunge next month. as a bonus it gives me something to read at work tonight

Might some of the molds be with heller? I'm sure i've seen heller versions of some of the 1/24 kits

recent arrival, apparently its pretty rare. its also very under scale, very few parts. I'm kinda disappointed with it, I knew it wouldn't be full detail but i planned to put a fujimi 190 chassis under it but its too long and wide for that to work. I'm just guessing at the scale but i'd say its closer to 1/28 or smaller. my tamiya bugs are about the same size as this.

I just put a dab of paint on the side of the tin/pot.

You can find 3d prints of the side by sides, i think iceman had something similar a couple of months ago

globe were a shoe brand dedicated to skateboarding but seemed to disappear when nike entered the market

on this side of the pond a sky like that means you dont have long left to harvest your crops cos its gonna get very wet within the next 2 or 3 days

Thanks, I considered it but with it being sectioned i felt nobody would be able to fit in it to drive. During my searches for similar style cars i noticed there were some that didn't have a chop either and i liked how they looked so i went that way instead

I'm getting my second payrise for the year due to the cost of living increases. Unlike almost everyone else in the uk, i wont be going on strike

west from me, the next landmass is somewhere on canada

"you do you" is a modern phrase of support for people

I took a lot of inspiration from that era of custom cars. I find it surprising how few of them seem to be left compared to hotrods

The narrow ones look nice on it, the others make it look like it sits further from the ground

I like to think my body work uses less filler, lol

behaved like animals is often used to describe sports fans after a game

So I took this to work with me for something to do when i'm bored, which since my job is just to sit on a boat overnight happens quite often, lol. I decided the front wasn't to my liking so i cut the fenders off from half way and used lots of curved bits of plastic to rebuild the lights and make a new grille area. At the rear I started making an imperial style rear light but its not working how i want it so i might use 2 edsel grilles for the light housing with large red lenses. I've also got rid of the rear side windows for no reason other than I wanted to try something with the fingernail filler i use and it seems to have worked sort of ways. I now need to figure out how to fit the fenders to the body as they snapped off the floor part which considering they have only had a couple of mm each side holding them wasn't really a surprise. I think the next job will be a suitably 60s interior. I'll prob scratchbuild a dash in a 59 impala style but entirely custom. I need to trim down the hood sides too as they are still a little deep. I think the doors are the only stock part of the 37 left now/

purred y women are easy on the eye

Thanks, my mag should be here in a couple of weeks so i'll be sure to give it a good read through. Any size or model reccomendations?

Well I've decided to take the plunge and invest in a 3d printer. Its all down to a link someone shared yesterday for print files and a most of my wish list was on it, and with revell releasing the e-tron kit, interiors and a chassis wont be a problem for the audis, so I'll be calling a second hand kit place to sell a few of my 1/25 scale kits to help fund it but thats not really a big deal. I've been looking at the anycubic photon range as they seem to be the most used on here at least, but I'm not sure what to get. I will have around £600 to spend and I would be printing bodies and parts. Do I only need the actual printer? or are there other bits needed to go with it? How are they on fumes? my home is very small so they could be a problem for me due to health issues. My plan is to learn how to print the parts first, then later maybe start to draw up my own or modify existing files. I'm really looking for something as simple as possible and as near to plug and play as possible to begin with. I figure after spending about that much already on 3d prints i may as well get my own. Any advice greatfully recieved as i dont want to waste my money on something i cant use. I have a spare laptop i can dedicate to the printer if needed

Since you plan to use q-tips for the cage and roll bars, try putting wire inside and it should stop it from bending too sharply and flattening on you. You can also use the wire to help connect 2 pieces together. Good luck with the build, it sounds fun

is the kit proportioned like the box art? or is it just a really bad photo of the car

yes and he's a member here too.
