  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. Well, you can always PM me and we can discuss.
  4. 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.
  5. It is still available. ?
  6. I noticed his work a while ago, but have yet to buy anything. He has some interesting designs for sure. His images look pretty accurate.
  7. 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!
  8. I've built the 4 door crewcab version. That white reg cab should do very well.
  9. So looking forward to picking a couple of these up.
  10. I keep meaning to pick one of these kits up, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Looking forward to seeing more!
  11. 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.
  12. I think the Bronco will be different, as it's the version everyone actually wants in real life.
  13. They're pushing $30k US. A friend of mine purchased one of these this summer. https://golfcartscypress.com/custom_golf_carts/ford-mustang-gt-custom-golf-cart/ I think he's crazy.
  14. 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.
  15. Looks fantastic! Those flares work perfectly. The front bumper is good, but maybe seems a little flat or square. I think with a little sculpting on the wheel arches, they'll be perfect.
  16. That is some very tight clearance! But if it fits, then all is good!
  17. Very cool.
  18. I like it! The outdoor lighting is so much better than anything indoors. And in some of those pics, it looks much large that 1/24. I think the angle of the pic and forced perspective. Anyway, nice work!
  19. 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.
  20. Nope, but I did the Rammstein truck. Was in a previous issue of the mag. Simple and fun. I liked it.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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".
  24. Welcome! Check the aftermarket section of this very forum! Lots of vendors and discussions in there about parts and where to get them.
