Looks great! I like the tire tracks, although a few more donuts would be more fun! Outdoor lighting is so much better for taking pics. nicely done!
-
Nice job! And you're right, the pics we get with our phones just don't compare to a real camera. Suggestion...take your pics outside. Natural light and a real camera give excellent results!

Well, you can always PM me and we can discuss.

I've never really had an issue with printing wheels. I usually just print them either flat, or at a 22 degree angle. At a slight angle seems to eliminate a lot of the layer lines. And I print at a .02 layer height. Takes longer, but the results are really good. For tires, I print them flat.

It is still available. ?

I like it! Looks exactly like that old Shapeways material. I bought a hood many years ago and I gave on trying to get it smooth enough to match the rest of the body. Awful stuff! I think you have more patience that I do though!

Upcoming Aoshima Pickup Releases
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I've built the 4 door crewcab version. That white reg cab should do very well. -
Porsche 911 RSR by Tamiya on Scalemates?
iamsuperdan replied to 64Comet404's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
So looking forward to picking a couple of these up. -
You mean kind of like they've done with every iteration of this car? Every time they've rebuild this car, they've done what is trendy in the world of performance. The various drivetrains, the suspensions, the wheel choices. All reflect what was going on at the time of the build.

AMT 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I think the Bronco will be different, as it's the version everyone actually wants in real life. -
AMT 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I know I've got two of the First Edition. Our two local stores kept selling out. Took me a while to get mine. I think when the inevitable 4 door is released, it will be a bigger seller. Just like the real one. When I worked for a Ford dealer, the 4 door outsold the 2 door probably 10 to 1. -
What do you drive?

That is some very tight clearance! But if it fits, then all is good! -
Very cool.

Truck tire shopping
iamsuperdan replied to ksnow's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We used to run studded Nokians on my wife's Volvo XC90. They were amazing. But when it came time to replace them we went with the non-studded version of the same tire. For no particular reason. -
MOTÖRHEAD
iamsuperdan replied to TopherMcGinnis's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nope, but I did the Rammstein truck. Was in a previous issue of the mag. Simple and fun. I liked it. -
What did you see on the road today?
iamsuperdan replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
As with any vehicle, if you maintain it right, and use it, don't abuse it; then it will last as long as anything else on the road. And actually, if it stays off road, it will avoid the salt and stuff on the roads in winter, so shouldn't rust as quickly. You might see more wear and tear on suspension or steering components. Depending on usage. -
I was amazed to read that he played ball for 25 years. I can't imagine any of these current professional athletes having a career that lasts well into their 40s or 50s.

Forgot to post a couple of pics. As I mentioned previously, I left Ford and have a new job. I'm now in charge of sales & marketing for Arctic Trucks in Canada. I'm actually the only employee in Canada! And I was playing with this AT44 last week. 44" tires and only a 3 inch lift from stock. My demo truck is being built now, so will have one similar living with me permanently. By way of comparison, I'm 6'6". -
