  1. you could get a wing from a lambo but the rear vents are completely different. the lambo ones are very short while the pantera cover the top of the fender. if you have acess to a printer you could print a pantera as a slightly smaller scale then remove the fender tops to use to make the vents. if you get the scale right it should just mean cut the top off the fender, add a base to it and fit to the kit. if you printed a gts body you would get the wing too
  2. Nice save, and you've given me an idea for a chevy body i have that got hacked up
  3. dinner time can mean lunchtime or evening meal in scotland
  4. tonight the light of love is in your eyes, wait, no, its a train, RUN
  5. so it really is mind blowing then
  6. i was meaning at the factory, the drivers do take care of them. 3/4 million miles isn't unusual with these engines
  7. Very nice work, theres more time and care gone into the model than the real thing gets
  8. why not just use more resin? get a 5 buck uv light for doing nails and simply brush resin over the cracks, shine the light and its job done.
  9. they are also good for scratchbuilding materials.
  10. worry them with enough bad news and eventually they'll believe anything
  11. the ripples are the layer lines from the print process. i tend to sand them back a little and do a couple of rounds of sanding and filler primer. usually for a resin print 3 rounds of filler primer is enough but some take more. once you are happy with how it looks in filler primer you can just paint it as you would any other kit. make sure to wear a mask,the dust is nasty stuff
  12. pick through to your primer spots in a few places and try again. if the stripper can get to the primer it should eventually peel off. it will take a bit longer but if you poke at the areas you are through to the primer with some scrap plastic occaisonally you can speed it up a little. have you tried ipa also? its been my go to for a few months now.
  13. the paint looks great, very suitable for this
  14. the item on the left is a hook for holding your eyes open during zoom meetings but usually comes as part of a pair, and can also be used for fishing in the office goldfish tank in hanger prevention emergencies. works best with longer hair
  15. I wouldn't normally post something i've printed myself in here but i'm pleased to finally have a 37 lincoln. its scaled down from a multi piece rc body by macone1 on cults. i've got some parts printing again but thats down to me and not the files. there are seperate trim for the headlights, and the hood, fender trim and rear lights are included with it. some parts didn't come out 100% but if this was a damaged plastic kit we would fix it so parts that could be used will be repaired instead of dumped. i could have done this as a rag top also but for now i want a coupe. i've got independent suspension already printed for this and since i dont have a lincoln v12 yet i'm using a merlin ls7. oops, this isn't a build thread, can you tell i'm excited lol
  16. my windows swing out from the side. to get it to work i'd have 3 sides to block and the less said about my neighbours down the street, the better
  17. that would be ideal but the landlord wont like me cutting holes in the window
  18. i'd glue some thin sheet to the bottom then fill it
  19. I'm lining up parts to make my third attempt at a 37 lincoln and i'm hoping to find something similar to this as its something a lot of my fav lincolns have. I've read through every feature i can find and none mention where they are from. the one pictured is obviously all custom but the others have a more stock look which is what i am hoping to find. my trys at scratching some haven't turned out nice enough to use in the past. i didn't have a clear pic of the more stock appearing part so the pic is just an example
  20. i just need a west or south wind so i can open the booth window. when its in the north ot east it blows through the vent pipe and defeats the purpose of the booth
  21. wind power began the industrial revolution but coal sped it up
  22. this one prints out nice, maybe more of a detroit show car style though but it simple to narrow if you shorten the drive shaft and lower brace in the slicer https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/billet-irs-jag-rear-end-with-quick-change-centre
  23. i love the out of the box thinking on this, it kinda reminds of the old thunder saloon race series over here in the uk, where a vauxhall viva might really be a lola can am car or a bug might be more f1 car
  24. the only other birds of prey around me are hawks and owls but they are smaller than folk think. the seagulls are bigger than most of them. its impressive to watch them hunt though they miss more than nature documentaries would make us believe, lol
