I'm enjoying watching your build immensely!

You should just build them both!

Over the past week, I've finished building three new planters in the backyard, and managed to get them filled with fresh garden mix. Wifey can plant now. And I finished a model. Been a while.

You could also try searching "paper diorama" on pinterest. Lots of free options there! And you'd still have to print them, so depending on scale, either at home or as you said; load onto a flash drive and get somewhere to print them. I did something similar with some brick and concrete patterns. Printed a bunch out at Staples and used them on a garage diorama. Turned out reasonably well, and I have ideas on how to improve it.

Andrey's files are really nice, and when finished can look as good as anything bought in a box. So to speak. It takes a while to get the printing thing down for sure. You look really close. If I might make a suggestion, try lowering your layer height. I print at .02, and my layer lines are almost non-existent now. Yes, it takes longer, but it's less cleanup after. Plus, I find that printing the bodies on an angle of 22 degrees works really well. Not sure why, but I tried several print angles, and that seems to give me the best results. Looking forward to seeing how you finish this one up.

Is this common?

All while enjoying your Timmies. -

In honour of this weekend's F1 race at Imola... I’m surprised I’m doing this, but it’s time to make room on the shelves. I acquired most of these Ferrari kits as part of a collection, but I’m not a huge Ferrari guy, and I’ll probably never get around to building these. And I’d rather see them go somewhere they’ll actually get built. Most of these are opened, and most of these appear to be complete. There are a number of extra parts in some of these, such as seats, brakes, decals. In some cases, there are complete extra kits within the boxes of other kits. It’s kind of crazy. I’ll try to describe some of the extras with each kit. Tamiya F40 – complete kit Tamiya F50 – brakes are missing, some engine parts apparently Tamiya 360 Modena – complete kit, Clearly Scale brakes included Tamiya Enzo – complete Tamiya Enzo – missing brakes Revell 308 GTS Magnum PI – complete, but box in rough shape. Additional decals Revell LaFerrari – complete So, lots of Italian subject matter! What am I looking for? I'm going to be a little more picky than I usually am. Tamiya BTCC or DTM kits – Volvo, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo Tamiya Mercedes, Porsche, BMW. But not the BMW Z3. Revell/Fujimi Mercedes 230TE estate/wagon Revell Porsche Gemballa Revell VW Corrado – original or reissue Revell London Bus Aoshima, ESCI, Revell Range Rover Porsche kits – especially from Fujimi or Hasegawa Italeri euro trucks and trailers 1/24 scale aircraft I'd be open to bundling kits, or doing multiple kits for the right kits in return. Or some other arrangement. Keep in mind, shipping to Canada. Thanks.

And there you have it. I think this thread has run its course.

Black Box Twin V8 Truck
iamsuperdan replied to Dutzie's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/twin-v8-truck-full-modelkit-1-24th BlackBox's files are typically excellent. I have a few of his body kits, and a lot of his engines and wheels. -
That is pretty unique, and pretty cool. I dig it.

What do you drive?
iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well, it is a good looking truck. And as a driver, the headlights do work very well. ? 2017 through 2022 had that style. -
What do you drive?
iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nope. The Super Duty trucks with the base headlights like you posted have four low/high beam bulbs. So all four are on when you have low beams, and all four are on with the high beams. And the low beams are the DRL. Then let's add the foglghts on as well. And use them all the time. I get what you're saying. They're better now, as they did a redesign in 2023. I find the new design trucks a little less blinding. -

iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was looking for Race Red, Area 51, or Atlas Blue; but in the trim and specs I want, there was just nothing left. -

Finally got some pics of the new truck over the weekend. Back in March, I sold my Lightning after about 9 months of ownership. Love the truck, but with the incentives and rebates the manufacturers are throwing on EV right now, the used market is going to take a nosedive. So to get ahead of the curve, and continue my trend of never selling for less than I paid, I sold it to someone that has been looking for that particular trim level and colour. And I didn't lose any money, so that's a good thing. So I had to replace it. Lots of excellent deals to be had on remaining 2023 models, so that's what I did. 2023 F150 Lariat with the Powerboost hybrid engine. Basically an EcoBoost with a hybrid system bolted to it. I took the big ugly FX4 decals off the back. I think it looks better without. I've never really been a fan of decals or graphics. Will be removing the PowerBoost emblems, and as soon as they're readily available, the new ovals from a 2024 F150 will be going on. Window tint and a dashcam coming soon. I want to change out the wheels too, but wheel pricing has gone mental over the past few months, so that idea is on indefinite hold. Another boring white truck, but I actually like white. Plus there's nothing left anywhere in the other colours I would want. So boring white it is. -
Ford Maverick (new ones) height question
iamsuperdan replied to ksnow's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Atlas Blue looks so good in person. Excellent choice! -
Is this the same Dart that was included with the Ford race hauler in Richard Petty livery? If it is, I have one if anyone wants to trade for something. I built the truck, will never build the car.

All three of these Aoshima kits are going to be VERY popular.

I don't know what machine that band is raging against, but I'm guessing it was a printer.

Homebuilt Guitar Appreciation thread
iamsuperdan replied to iamsuperdan's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I think you need more switches. ? A friend of mine has an old BC Rich Bich with the Neil Moser electronics set up. Good grief. Need an instruction manual and a university course to figure that thing out. Love the Jazzmaster shape. -
Really nice build!
