loudest noise i ever heard was when the engineers forgot i was mopping the hanger and did a full throttle engine test

chimera were built by trevor in blackpool

beautiful build, if your pics were on a shiny surface the build would look even more realistic and like the glamour shots at a high end auction.

mind games were fun until they added adverts

time weights for no-one like a wristwatch on a dumbell

some of the motormax diecasts are much nicer than their price would suggest. i recently got a mid 30s ford pick up to use the fenders on a 35 hotrod and it might be too nice for that

i paused it when i couldn't get more tamiya black paint. my only other option is duplicolour and i think i would lose too much detail with it. the kit has a lot of fine detail and i want to save as much as possible. i helped the shop with an order about a month ago so hopefully it will be back on the bench soon. i have printed some cragar 4 banger speed parts for it too

that is a lovely red, i love how it has such solid flops to the colour

it wouldn't let me delete after we posted at the same time. yours was above mine so i deleted bast i could

.

very cool and original. i've never thought to do a ford bomb and i dont know why since it looks right

starting to look workable. its taking really agressive work to get the one door to fit. i'll get the other in the morning i was optimistic in my previous assessment of ho long it will take, lol

i tried, right down to p40 grit and nothing left a mark. to trim down the excess over the vents i used a saw as sandpaper then tidied with a router blade in my dremmel. even that took a lot of pressure. if this is what shapeways were sending out, i'm not surprised they went under. but i paid good money for it and i'm scottish and stuburn so i'll make it work. it is getting better now, but a resin print is much easier to work with

has anybody printed out any cars from the designer innoventos? they have some that look interesting but the style of assembly looks like they could be toyish being mostly 5 or 6 parts

look for EDM 3D model on facebook. they have a 1990 version. i just found it on a google image search. i have no experience of their files but i have seen them used by other people on here https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=1209659840100836&id=100031704952544&_rdr

fillers on, so now i'll let it sit for 3 or 4 days to go off. this filler sinks a lot but it gives a decent pin hole free surface. because of this i use scraps of plastic and files to get it close so the sinking isn't such an issue

second round of primer has started. I'll be using a 600 sponge for this and may do another round with the 600. the texture is really bad on the rear panel so it might end up getting filled along with the rear vents. i had to use a router tool in the dremmel to remove the excess from the vents as this material is tougher than chuck norris but at least it starting to take shape

my neighbours like to wedge the outside door open which causes my flat to freeze. I took apart the door closer and replaced the spring with one from an old baler. now it takes more effort to open the door but they cant wedge it open as the spring is stronger than the rock is heavy.

have you tried looking at the stuff weightlifters use? one of my mums friends has 2 claws for hands due to the old arthur so she has cream they use that works for her

you know if you sneak out at night, and just happen to have a bag of fertaliser with you, that just happens to have a hole in one corner, and you just happen to follow a pattern on his lawn that would be considered words, you can leave a message that will keep repeating for the rest of the season. this also works with wildflower seeds but that would be considered vandalism. theres a certain golf course in scotland this happen to regularly, so its almost become a game now

thats the same one i just posted about. i just asked if it was something they would consider drawing up and they were happy to do it

very cools builds, your corvair is another i was planning to build but using vw razor edge ghia instead of a corvair

nahunel customs now has fatman steering wheels available.

plastruct certainly used to have 2 sizes but you'll probably find normal styrene rod easier to work with and attach.

I've done the first round of filler primer. 3 heavy coats followed by a 320 tamiya sponge and its looking better now. its still got lots of texture showing but its starting to feel smoother. next step will be more primer then a 600 sponge. I've also now got a 3d file for a type 3 floorpan so i think i'm going to print it and the blackbox porsche engine along with the front and rear suspension from the blackbox beach buggy and thus save the bug kit. Now if i could just get the lights drilled out.....
