  1. a little more progress. i decided to print a type 3 pan after all. i'm still using the tamiya front suspension but will have tp scratch the rear arms. i tried those from the blackbox beach buggy but they were too long. i also printed some seats and have deepened the trim. it looks o in the pics but all the detail id fairly subtle. and after trying the engine and wheels i found the wheels to be too wide so i've printed some rotiform rims that will fit. if the porsche rims were plastic or resin i would have cut them down but since they are ali i'll save them for something else. this means new brakes too
  2. it mixes together well for an interesting effect. i like to add a pinch or 2 of similar shades when i do flocking. it gives the carpet a little more effect
  3. it cant go as bad as the movie brad pitt? is doing about f1. they had to start filming over again because the cars changed so all the footage was wasted. over a year of filming gone
  4. why not just start with filler primer and save your self some sanding. even the finest layer height is keyed enough for primer and the first coat of filler primer just undoes your sanding anyway. but would suggest using proline high build primer if you can get it. it works much faster than the other brands and is safe with tamiya and auto acrylics
  5. a designer called motabas on cults has a few older ferarri engines. his stuff is very detailed and usually 40+ parts per engine. his gearboxes are seperate from the engines
  6. hel'met or the act of running into people you are avoiding eg, "hel'met the minister on the wai hame"
  7. hey, dont tell the ai these are movies, i've spent 5 years calling terrible movies documentaries just to mess ai up, lol
  8. the diesel brothers tv show built one of these as a hauler. the blue one you shared looks to be photoshop
  9. dangerous hobbies can elicit feelings of fear and exhilaration at the same time

  11. i'm in the process of giving mine to someone. i've only kept the 4 i use for flocking
  12. very nice, did you have any problems building it? i'll be building one of these soon
  13. i think it was premier Noel. Tom Geiger (if i remember correctly) shared a pic of one a few years back when the renault dauphines were being discussed but i cant remember which thread t was. i seem to remember it being black plastic and a multi piece body
  14. i would say this is a good one to get. its not many parts but with some extra time on body prep and detailing it can turn out a nice build and many of the other flathead engine parts can be scaled to fit this. the body and fenders are one part and it has the hood too but mine didn't turn out nice so i left it off and i forgot to print the rad pipes. the grille and rad is one piece on this
  15. yes, but just enough to colour it, clear would make it blotchy cos its very thin, lol
  16. 've had almost a set of those wheels in my stash for a while. now i know where they came from
  17. this was only intended to be a test print to check the scale when i print it to build. i've found it to be undersized but i decided to throw it together anyway. it had one coat of filler primer to get rid of the worst of the print lines, then a light 600 followed by 1500 sponge. you can see a hard edge on the body, this is from my pausing the printer to add more resin and is a mistake on my part. i took it off the printer at 1pm on monday and all the big parts were painted and together by 4. i spent a couple hours detail painting and making glass this morning and all the chrome is molotowe from an old pen (lasted much better than green stuff world has) applied with a brush. since this is just a quick build nothing was masked. i did swap to hub caps from a revell 48 custom and a printed 48 steering wheel in pearl white. if i had spent time on body prep it would look much better and i'll be doing that on the correctly sized version. all in all, it still looks ok and if i used some of my light lenses would be much more convincing but i didn't want to waste them on something i know is wrong but for 6 hours and no effort..... the flat spot is from having the body too close to the printer edge
  18. some of the bodies are available in 1/32 prints but they might be blocky when scaled up https://cults3d.com/en/users/ainsliecarolina/3d-models
  19. All the work you guys have done in this thread has been fun to watch. My own build hasn't moved from the last update as i grew to dislike the way it looked but i think i have a way to fix it. its still going to be much the same at the back but i'll remove a few mil from the intakes on the running boards as it sits much to tall and the front fenders are getting swapped again. i've not given up on it but i need to find my direction with it. it will be staying ev powered
  20. gear up for an appocalypse of fire while watching the world freeze seems to be prepper inteligence
  21. theres a big market for used food too,but we mostly call that pol-ee-tiks
  22. its the add on vents on top of the fender thats being looked for
  23. lovely work on this. the engine bay looks great and the interior looks ready to get in and drive. is that the stock interior or have you modded it?
  24. thats perfect, thanks
  25. Hi folks, I'm needing the width of the cowl on an amt 36 ford. i need from the tip of the side trim to the same on the other side, where it ends for the hood please. i prefer millimetres if possible. i did a print and i cant tell if its closer to the amt or monogram kit in size but i know its wrong and this will help me rescale it
