Aren't major upgrades fun?

Beautiful work, Steve! ?

Nice work Claude! Those are beautiful models.

Glad to see this one back on the bench. I really like the way you made the interior more accurate.

I like it, works for me!

Glad I could rekindle those memories, Don. My buddy Bill owned the Verdoro Green GTO I modeled and I had the Meridian Turquoise convertible you see in my avatar. Hours of fun in those hot cars!

I’ll have to look at that. The 4K I saw was $420.

Good to know, as your prints look very good.

Bill, what is your larger printer? I'm looking at a Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K. Thanks!

Yes, I have encountered this when I built one for a magazine article. The chassis is short as you point out. I didn't notice it until final assembly and then it was too late to address it. I'd be interested to see your solution if you decide to build it. You'll note it says "GT"; I converted the Cobra to a GT.

Clever idea and solid execution! This is an exceptional model.

Nice work, Ken. I wasn’t sure about the color when I saw the shade of yellow but now I love it!

Got that chrome looking good!

Len, from your description it sounds like you are not getting enough vacuum. Your former should be able to suck the PETG tightly around the buck. I would want the buck to be lower in relation to the plate. This will make it easier to achieve a seal, and also keep the plastic from being sucked under the buck, which makes it hard to free the buck from the part. As to temperature, I don't measure it. When I was starting out doing this I read that the PETG will get wavy as it hits a certain temperature. Watch carefully as it will rapidly smooth out after that. That is when you should swing the frame down over the buck and should give you a good part. This works very well for me. One more thing - dust is your enemy! Before you commence the forming take a used dryer sheet and run it lightly over both the buck and your PETG sheet. This will greatly reduce any "inclusions" in your part. Good luck!

I just added my $.02 in a message to Round2.

Really funny, Andrew. thanks for sharing

Clever concept and well executed! Nice work, Jim.

Amazing model! Nice work and the choice of color and graphics make it sizzle!

What Bob said...

Excellent job on this Charger! Thanks for sharing it.

Gary, I have used Aircraft Stripper that I bought at Walmart. It works real well but is nasty so I’d use it outdoors and be sure to wear gloves. Make sure also that you only use it on diecast as it will ruin any plastic parts it comes in contact with. i bought some of those disposable aluminum pans which you don’t have to clean up.

Great job on this Caddy! Nice save.

Super nice work!

Looks good to my eye, Tom!

Nice, Geno!
