This is such a nice kit. I've built two of them over the years.

Spoiler and wheels appear top be available. Haven't seen the rest of the body kit though. https://cults3d.com/en/search?q=saleen

Interesting. The smash molding of the windows is similar to the vacuum molding process. That's how I make my windows for 3d prints. Same basic concept. Heat the material, press it down on a mold, let it cool. I like your end result. 👍

I would totally drive that. Much nicer than most of the other tuner vehicles I see.

Spiders?! Nope. I would have burned it to the ground right then and there! Seriously though, I hate spiders. I would have kept on disassembling that interior. All the side panels and the headliner...out. And at that point, would probably pull the dash too. Might as well clean it all and start fresh! I'm surprised your hatch struts still worked!

I like it! Sonny Crockett would approve.

I used to have a PS2, played GTA Vice City a lot. Was really good at it too. My son was big into video games. Still is from time to time. Him and his friends have phases. Anyway, we ended up with a Wii, and a then cycled through a few versions of the XBox. The last game I spent any real time on was Minecraft, like 10 years ago. And Red Dead Redemption 2. That one was pretty good.

Don't hold your breath. Doesn't look like Tamiya is doing anything to address the situation, and now it appears that Mr Hobby is in the same boat. Although my local suppliers here in Edmonton are still carrying Mr Hobby, the shelves are pretty empty. The Revell paints are on shelves now though, so I grabbed a couple just to try them. Most of my painting will now be done with an airbrush though. I had been contemplating it for quote a while, but the Tamiya ban kind of tipped me over the edge. And now I'm hooked. Will not go back to spray cans. At least on bodies anyway.

Most likely, yes. We'll be able to make a lot of the changes and improvements "backstage" so to speak, and we'll be able to test them ourselves, and make sure we can't break anything. But yes, the switchover will mean that the site is down for a bit. Totally unknown exactly how long that would be, but we will be giving people plenty of notice. I don't think it will be measured in days, but I could be wrong.

Kind of what I expected. but only because I saw this... This is Bernth. He's a monster guitar player. And he did a couple of underwater things. Science! It's great.

Not a bad idea. Might be a better idea to see if we can get Hobby Lobby to advertise here. Yup, selling ad space. It's on our list of wants/needs.

Awesome project! Looking forward to the updates!

You've inspired me. I downloaded the files earlier this evening.

I love Rammstein. And anything industrial and heavy. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Fear Factory. And also a somewhat newer band called Orbit Culture. And saw Ministry here in town a couple of months ago.

PM sent.

Which part? The part where I stated files were available for download? Or the part where his print files were high quality? I'm not speaking to the accuracy of the files for this item.

I had a UPS guy show up and he had a portable debit machine, so could collect the COD payment right there on my front step. Just like paying for pizza delivery. Maybe the postal service does the same?

If anyone is messaging you and telling you to email someone else about kits or parts, IT IS A SCAM. Doesn't matter what names are being used. Even if they are real member names, IT IS A SCAM. The email address will be a dead giveaway. And if you suspect it might possible be legit? It's not. IT IS A SCAM. Be warned.

Yup! Just everyone have a little patience as we work through everything. And prepare to have your minds blown. Seriously, some people will absolutely lose their minds when we unveil everything. I really want to drop a hint or two. But I'm not going to. 🤪

I can't speak for the US, but here in Canada, we would get a parcel notice in our mailbox that states we have a parcel awaiting us at the post office and that there are COD charges involved. Then we have to go down to the post office, pay the bill, and they hand us our package. I've never refused payment, so not sure what would happen then. I guess it gets shipped back to the sender?

Canada had a mail strike last year, just before the Christmas rush. They received back to work legislation in late December forcing them back to work. That expired in June, and they've been at work without an agreement. And of course, they've been threatening to go back on strike, and can literally walk off the job any time now. Guessing they'll wait until November, for obvious reasons.

Here's my thread! I don't think I've ever posted the completed model in Under Glass. Will do so tonight when I get home.

Okay, I'm going need to find that on Cults. That's pretty cool. One of the designers I like has just introduced a bunch of tooned cars. Including a '58 Plymouth. A tooned Christine is something I can get behind!

And that is exactly why a lot of companies are temporarily stopping the use of their postal systems for shipping to the US. Until the muddy waters are clear, they're just stopping. Here's the thing though, many companies are also choosing to offer shipping through couriers like DHL or FedEx or whatever. It works, but is expensive. How badly do people want their stuff? And work, we're wading through this issue with parts for our trucks. Parts for our US built trucks are more expensive now, and the extra shipping costs are kind of crazy. Good thing we shifted production back in January, and all of my Canadian market trucks are built in Canada now. No shipping issues here. And on that note, the only country I'm not purchasing from right now is the US. It's disappointing that models, model parts, and supplies; not to mention vehicle parts and guitar parts, are now cheaper for me to purchase from Europe or elsewhere, than from the country closest to me.
