What would a car modelers Hades be like:
Big John replied to GLMFAA1's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
You clear coat your crapy enamel paint job with lacquer, which is all you can get, and then stripping it down the styrene body melts into a gob of goo. And it was the last of those 'find no more' kits that cost you your life savings because you just Had to have it. -
Streaming behind me were All the other competitors!

Well the Bonnet ought not blow off at speed with that nifty holdfast!

Just 4 more to go! Those are outstanding! But, then, the whole build demands it. Including the nipples in the 3D print is insightful.

Relationships are hard to come by when both desirable and Undesirable women run screaming at the sight of you.

Some modelers prefer smaller scales, some larger, and some the whole rigmarole.

Alternate-Reality 1935 Allison-powered LSR car
Big John replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in WIP: Model Cars
The LBC looks like it would be a pretty cool LSR but I am not sure about the Dusi spoked wheels for aerodynamics. I think I finally have my color scheme sorted out the the Bug LSR. -

Can't see it from my house. -
Looks Sweeet Pat! Must have been fun to drive in the day. I was just going to say 'is the pipe laying dozer next'? Is there room in the garage?

It is more like driving a Land Yacht.

Wow, the chrome looks perfect. Is that the chrome pens again of some other finish?

The electric fans are pretty much a "period" ender. And the wheeled trolley is pretty cool. The wire screen does look like a good match for the 1:1.

The bigger the tires the smaller the.....

The shocks are right on the money. The tech keeps getting better and better year to year if not day to day. Look at what you can do today that we wouldn't have even dreamed of a couple of years ago. I know you've updated the tech on this Bentley but I think the body should really rest on saw horses.

Hat, it is really Eenie Menie Chilly Beenie The Spirits are About to Speak. Fan Mail from some flounder?

Am thinking, there's no doubt about it... I need another hat!

Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Big John replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
And then I get lost in choosing the right engine for a 32 Duce. the V12 will take some frame stretching and anything with the Lasalle tranny will need even more mods. -
What did you see on the road today?

What then of the lathe or mill or machine in general that preforms it's task by way of digital input. The dremel is simply a motorized hand tool and does not operate independantly unless incorporated into a digitally controlled motorized operating system. Digital in this case not referring to fingers or toes.
