It MAY be possible to replace the ugly/inaccurate body beads with stretched styrene rod. But I will deny all the way to the guillotine being the instigator. And those stumps that pass as pedals...

Today’s dumb question-is there such a thing as easy AI?
Big Messer replied to Monty's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Why messing with AI when there is so much natural stupidity around? -

My dad used to say: don't believe anything you are told, and only half of what you see. Now with AI this may have to be heavily downgraded... -

Value: the cheapest junk that may look good enough; price: how much we can charge until the victim (sorry customer) reacts violently. -

Not quite like this. You will have to buy a new one first, THEN find it in the last place you looked (that will be right in the center in plain view) and after that, when looking for the receipt to return the new one... guess... -

Actually three: right way, wrong way and my way. -
Yes I followed and read about the crankshaft, that is why I asked. Thanks.

Following the construction. Disclose: I do not know the first thing about 3D but have a question. Does the 3D material have enough mechanical resistance to carry the weight of the car without breaking or bending?. Most interested on the suspension parts (spindles and everything that moves on the front end). I would do the chassis and suspension with brass and lost wax parts. Because it is going to be a BIG car.

I also have this thingmajings (don't know their proper name) that I got at Harbor Freight. Great to pass a little piece thru a hole inside an enclosed assembly.

Whenever possible I put a part into it's intended hole and touch with ACC from behind.

There is a little difference between smuggling a couple kits an hanging a long shelf. Will put the idea in the cooler for now. Want to live to see at least next Christmas. Me chicken? Nooo!. -

None of them. Just the house and an open carport. I am doomed. If you find and advertisement for unbuilt kits and assorted junk you will figure out what happened... -
