if you run the print under quite hot water the supports are much easier to remove and it can reduce any marks from the where the supports were too

No worries mate. I hope the MIL is ok. We all look at our models and sometimes only see what we did wrong, and I'm as guilty of it as anybody else. What we need to do is look for the parts we are happy with more often. For example, when i look at this one all i see are the flaws (and they are many including poor paint)

are you deliberatelly being antagonistic to other members? many of your recent posts have not been in the spirit we try to have here and some seem more like trolling. go back and read the forum rules please. we can place you on moderation if it continues

if your printing it yourself you can usually resize in your slicer. just measure the size of the part you are replacing and transfer them to the new part. if they are scaled correctly they should fit and if not you can adjust the next print. your biggest issue might be the profile shape as thats where any discrepancies will show up most but adding some depth to it can give you extra materiel to reshape with files and sandpaper

appologies Donny, i rotated your pics and now theres a gap for some reason.

Leith walk in edinburgh is laid out awfully. It has a pavement (sidewalk to you guys) with a cycle lane in the middle of the footpath, then the bus stops on the gap between the cycle lane and the road/tramway which you have to cross to catch a bus, then to catch a tram you have to stand in the middle of the road, and the same on the other side. There is no signage to say who has right of way, every junction now crosses over the stupidly designed pavement and the cycle lane has no speed limit so just eats and those guys are doing 40 and 50mph through an area full of tourists that are used to common sense streets, not this mess that seems to have been designed by a drunken toddler with anger issues. At some points of the street you have to cross 4 different roads just to cross one road because its so badly laid out.

It would be Dave that fixes your account. If you send him a pm with your old account name and new one he can do some computer wizardry and make the 2 accounts into one.

Just home from AC/DC and it was great. They played for over 2 hours and included a couple of songs they only play in scotland (the Young brothers and original singer bon scott were from scotland before emmigrating to the Australia) and we have a statue of Bon Scott in a Dumfrieshire town. I dont think Angus ever stopped playing apart from swapping guitars. If you get the chance take it as they wont be touring again I believe

have a look on cults, there is more flathead stuff then you can think off, from stock thru to front mounted twin superchargers and almost everything inbetween. digital surface does a lot of early style wheels and theres a few other designers with parts

this might help, i dont know if its the same file but the parts look similar https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/ferrari-365-daytona-engine

look at nail art stores or amazon. you can get 25 rolls of tape in various colours and finishes for aroun 10 bucks. some of it has an engine turned finish among others

while wandering around edinburgh yesterday i found a small railway shop with some models. the kits were expensive (near double the price of the same kits i can get locally so i bought some woodland scenics briar patch to add to my dioramas. i only realised today i'm flying so will have to go through security and its looks very like a decent amount of weed so i'm going to get searched. the citadel spray stick i bought will also look suspicious on the scanners (i know this because i was janitor at my local airport for a while so i know what they can see on their screens) I also got some more brushes and a set of paintmarkers from "the works" so if you are in the uk i'd have a look as 10 good brushes are only £3 and they are good quality. i think i'll go to the airport fairly early the morn, lol pics from the internet, my box of the plantlife is packed full compared to this one

if you want to print bodies you need a plate at minimum 2/3rds the length of the body and i would suggest an inch wider on each side than the body so it can be printed at an angle. Do you want to print full kits in one shot or are you happy to print them over a few days? The best time to buy is january, just when the new printers are released. The previous version usually get big reductions to make space for the new ones. also, before even getting a printer make sure your computer has enough processor to run the slicer, i didn't and after buying my first printer i then had to wait 2 weeks to buy a better laptop. 8 gig is the minimum that will run it but more is better, especially if you are designing your own parts. a swear jar is a great way to save up for more resin too, because the printer will make you swear at times but it is worth having if you buy a lot of aftermarket stuff. I've probably saved over £1500 on shipping since i got my printers

my appologies, i remembered it wrong

the rover v8 fits them great. it was a common swap on this side of the pons and theres a good few done as drag cars

there is one

pva/wood glue (its the same stuff) isn't really suitable for heating to speed up the process. its much stronger if left to dry naturally. they use it to build furniture and it doesn't get heated either.

i saw a dry ice fabric cleaner on car sos. it was impressive and didn't get everything soaked.

until you open it, it could be a potato

something like flower arranging wire might work. it bends easily and some is already polished

you could add a small groove where the trim goes, then use wire for the trim. if you are careful you could probably do each fender in one piece

i find it makes little difference. just because one brand fitted your handle once, it doesn't mean the next packwill fit. usually i just buy the pack of 100 blades that comes with a handle. medical type blades wont hold an edge for long though, and you'll probably use 3 or 4 where you'd use one exacto blade. i do like them better for foil though. swann morton is a decent brand but twice the price of cheapo chinese imports for not much real benefit.

the polar lights mustang funny car have a set

I can print for you if you have files David. I did some testing with the phone tape and it doesn't add much thickness. The underhood detail on this bonnet is held on with the tape. where theres tape its holding tight but i should have used more as it lifting where is didn't se it. It also seems resilient to solvents as i gave it a heavy duplicolour primer coat and its still holding.
