Awesome! I saw them here about 9 years ago...on their last farewell tour. And in 2000, on what was actually called "The Farewell Tour." lolz

Wow. Crazy that parts of the UK have far more snow than we do here in western Canada. We had snow back in mid-October. Lasted a couple of days. Mostly warm temps since then. Had literally a few flakes last night.

Yeah, through work I've been very familiar with MSDS sheets and WHMIS. Never thought to look it up for the hobby. I always use my 3M masks when spray painting, and I paint in the garage.

You know...I never thought to look for am MSDS. For those wondering, here's the MSDS for the water washable resin from Elegoo.

Nicely done. Del Griffith would be proud.

Interesting video. I print in a room that has okay ventilation. I keep the window open, and the ceiling fan is moving the air. If the fan is on and window is open, the room doesn't smell like resin at all. Of course, I only have one machine going at a time, and it's not running 24/7. So I think for my projects, it's not too bad. I know others that run multiple printers at once, and run them constantly. One question that I've never actually seen the answer to... What it the actual hazard of direct contact with resin? I have my box of disposable gloves that I wear, so for me actual contact is rare, but I've never seen actual warnings that contain some of the hazards. Most warnings I've seena re just like "don't let resin touch your skin. And don't drink it."

It's a wonder he lasted as long as he did! Having part of his ear bitten off at a Clash show. Drinking to excess. Excessively. Hepatitis A Questionable dental health. Seriously. Google his teeth. Viral encephalitis Fractured pelvis (due to falling while drunk) Despite all of that, a huge talent. “I haven’t joined a band to drink milk.”

One I found challenging was the Ram Power Wagon from A&N Model Trucks. When I ordered mine, I added the upgraded suspension pack, the engine pack, and the other accessories: brush guard, snorkel, aux lights. Rear suspension alone was almost 40 parts, made up of resin and photoetch. Front suspension was even more complicated. And because the engine and suspension were both upgrades, they had separate instructions, so there was a lot of going back and forth during the build. Combine that with the parts having no numbering system at all, and you really need to pay attention. The biggest issue I had was with assembly. The interior was a bugger to fit inside the cab. I thought I was going to break something. The floor is much wider than the cab. And you need to assemble the seats before you install it, so you can't exactly twist and fold it into the cab. Especially because the door panels attach to the cab sides. Maybe it's because it was my first experience with a full resin kit, so my inexperience showed. Knowing all of this now, I could do better if I built another, but I'm not sure I want to.

I had a Mars 2 Pro. Perfect for engines, seats, wheels/tires etc. Could do multi-piece bodies, but not full one piece bodies. So if you don't mind gluing the body parts together, it's a great machine to start with. I just picked up a Saturn 2, wcan do one piece bodies. Check the 3D printing thread in the "general discussion" section. Lots of talk about printers there, with people that have far more experience than I do with different printers!

That's some excellent work! Looks great!

Well now that Issue 222 is out, here are a few more pics of the Revell Rammstein tour truck. It's obviously the same old 1/32 snap kit that has been around for years. Very simple, but a quick, fun build. This particular one has the Ford Aeromax and the Fruehauf box trailer. Painted with Tamiya sprays, and liberal use of the Tamiya black wash. Decals were big. I cut them into parts to make application easier. And they are supposed to look chipped and worn! I liked building this. Will probably pick up another. Maybe the KISS or ACDC tour truck set! And for fun, for those of you with Spotify, here's my "Rammstein Build" playlist.

Thanks! I initially bought the printer with parts in mind. Then it dawned on me that I could print bodies, and full kits. Now I've just picked up a much larger printer and I'm fully addicted. Smaller printers like the Elegoo Mars series are pretty inexpensive now too.

I printed mine at 1/24. Roofline seemed a little off, but that could be my printing. I want to print another because I see a few places I could improve it. I'm going to look for this Bandai one though. I've been liking the smaller scale stuff lately.

That's awesome that you were able to put the deal together! And it's crazy to think that a magazine feature car came from Bluesky, Alberta. I've been to Bluesky. Maybe 100 people live there? Even fewer back in the 70s.

I wonder this all the time. I see old magazines and wonder what became of the cars and trucks featured. Movie and TV cars too. And so many times, it's like they've just been discarded. It bums me out.

The files are readily available to purchase if you have a 3d printer. Expensive though.

As mentioned in my previous post in this very thread, values are low. I paid $35 for one, including $10 shipping from US to Canada. Other Lindberg snap kits are on eBay right now for less than $30. Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's valuable.

How did I miss this one before?! Cool idea!

Looking forward to seeing more! Once I clear a few old builds off the bench, I'll be starting mine. I always like seeing what other people run into when building, so I know what to look out for. ?

Yes, sort of hard to find, but not really worth the effort. Very basic 1/32 scale snap kit. And not a very good one. My first car was a 78 Thunderbird, so I wanted one of these Lindberg kits so I could build a replica. Found one last summer on eBay for a reasonable price. I think I paid $35 including shipping. To say I was disappointed when I opened it up is an understatement. Maybe a dozen parts, very simplistic. Luckily, I have the files and will be 3D printing a 1/24 version.

That is a stunner! Love the steel wheels and hubcap look.

The real hero.

Another day, another concert. Whitechapel In Flames Meshuggah A most excellent show. In Flames are a favourite of mine, and were the main reason I went to this show. My son and his friends are huge Meshuggah fans, so they wer pry excited. Not a lot of long hair there, but lots of werido beardos. In Flames Meshuggah I'm not exactly full of energy this morning. Was worth it though.
