have you seen his 59 chevy boat? i've done a test print in 1/32 and its a very nice piece
-
one of my friends had a fiesta with the previous 3 cylinder engine (valencia i think it was called). That engine was a miricle of engineering. My mate was the type that never did any mainenance and would send it out to me for mot prep. More than once it arrived with a dry rad and next to no oil but it just did not die. The car eventually got scrapped cos he would put his surf board on the front seat so the floor rotted away. I have no idea why or how that engine lasted so long

base coat just means the colour needs a clear to shine, its sometimes called 2 part on this side of the pond
-
did you key the primer before the colour coats went on? i've had this happen when i skipped that step on filler primers. its like the colour coat shrinks as it dries as it has nothing to hold onto.

that was gunter artz, he did a few other similar cars and ended up at vw building concepts. I've been gathering the parts to do the golf and maybe the skyrocket another time.

wrecked old fergie
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
me and my uncle pulled one out of a midden where it had sat for 30 years with just the top of the rear wheels showing where it was. After a long jet wash, som new fluids and a fresh battery and it started right up. Still smelled really bad and most of the panels were toast but it wasn't needing a rebuild like the 135s would in the same state -
nice, those zeemax kits were among the smartest for the mini. they were certainly the most copied kits. heres one thats in a shed near my mums. its pretty rusty now though

wrecked old fergie
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I've only worked on one of them, but i've restored 4 fergie 35s and 2 135s. I turned one of these heller kits into my grandads 35 or close to it apart from the engine being the wrong way around, lol -
heller kit built as a wreck to add to a diorama. real rust but i'll add some more when it goes in the dio as i have more effects to add.

Any Chance Of The Monogram Capri II Coming Back?
stitchdup replied to oldcarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Those kits mostly get sold in europe. the capri is massively popular on this side of the pond and these kits have kept their value bacause of that. I hope revell have kept hold of them, they would be a good seller for them if the second hand values are a guide and since ford europe did the engineering they are simple to build an engine bay for as it just a couple of right angle bends to make inner fenders -
questions on resin printed 3-d parts??
stitchdup replied to oldr-n-drt's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
they get cleaned before they get cured so you should be good. I use duplicolour primers with my prints -
While you said you would like to keep your current monitor, you may get some other options/discounts if you replace the the whole thing as one unit. I would expect a monitor to be part of any deal you get offered so its worth keeping the option open just in case.

Likely a very long-term project..... Building a Coyote X
stitchdup replied to JollySipper's topic in WIP: Model Cars
cool project TJ, the bug front end is really simple to narrow and to make working suspension from due to how tamiya put it together. I did a how to somewhere on here for the front and rear suspension -
Sketchup to design model car parts?
stitchdup replied to V8tiger's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I need at least 6gig processing speed to run the slicer. A gaming laptop might have the spec needed if its a recent one as the graphics card needs to be good too. I havent done any drawing on my computer but my friend has installed and used blender on it with no problems. His own laptop is much more powerful than mine but mine coped ok. It was a little slow but i probably wont be using it that often for drawing. If you are going to use it a lot then get the best spec you can to save having to keep upgrading parts/apps -
base level objectivity definers sounds like a technical term but i just made it up

away from the manager a karen raised it head, screaming from her lungs that she WILL be heard

some more done. Once this has dried I'll line the inside with wood as well. next up is figuring out the size of the lean to on the side. Once i have it worked out i can add some surface textures and plant life

How do you keep your models clean?
stitchdup replied to redscampi's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I've got a couple of glass curio display cases. They keep the worst of the dust out. I've also got an old hifi unit I've stripped the gubbins out of to leave a glass cased place to display a couple of dios. -
Confused about 3d printing
stitchdup replied to jeffp60's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I can vouch for safety buying from ukraine. Apart from feb to august last year there has been little difference to delivery times before the war. It takes about 3 weeks from ukraine to the uk so maybe 4 for usa -
Chevy Coe
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I've enjoyed working with the wood on this so I'm building a dio to go with it. Maybe its because its something new but that keeping my attention at the moment but i have been continuing to work on the fenders while i wait for glue to dry.
