Same answer as above. I'm not buying.

Yea right, the likelyhood of that and it snowing in central Florida today are the same.

Maybe the problem isn't the current cost of goods, Bill. It's that your income hasn't kept up with the cpi.

Acrylic, enamel? Acrylic is water based and 91 % alcohol will remove it.

What type of paint?

Yes, you can use windex to thin acrylic paint. I just use plain old water. I also use Liquitex air brush medium with the water as it helps the paint. It will take practice to learn your air brush and the application method that will work well for you.

I'm saying model on this one.

I would suggest that if you want to learn how to paint models with acrylics, you view Chapman's utube vidios on the subject. He has it down and can show you how to do it. This is one of his posts in on this board. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86040. I use acrylics with great success. It's a learning process.

Why?

Which all leads us back to the fact that 3d printing is good for proto-typing.

And Harry, there is every level n be twine.

My answer to that. Put it on ebay. Good luck to ya. Then walk away.

What don't you understand about "good enough" Tom. This subject has been hashed out many time in the past. It all comes down to a persons seriousness in the hobby. If there's is not as serious as yours, accept that. Their happy with what they have created. It's a hobby and everyone get their own satifation out of their builds. It doesn't mean that's how they view everything in life, just their modeling hobby.

The old addage goes: The early bird gets the worm.

Posted in my computer, modeling, work room. Nuff said.

This is easy. My favorite muscle car is my 1966 Mercury S55 vert. Blew off a guy yesterday coming back from the store. Nothing but headlights in my rear view mirror. Maybe he didn't see those 428 markers on my lower front fender panels. He wanted to race.

I'm go'in with real.

Stevie not only sang "stand back", she wrote it Rob. She is , to me, the ultimate of female artists of her era. I can, and have. listened to her for hours. Here she is singing one of me favorites from the 1979 Fleetwood Mac alblum Tusk- "Sara. First, with Fleetwood Mac in 1979 on the cut version and then the first 29 years later in 2008 solo in concert of the full 7 + miniute orriginal version.

And it was still bigger. A grape Nehi was a nickle and in Michigan, you could scout out 5 empties and trade them in for a new for the 1 cent deposit. A mug of A & W root beer was a nickle at there stand. The moral to the story is simple. Inflation happens. You can take advantage of this situation by buying today opposed to a higher price in the future. The choice is yours.

When it was a nickle, it was bigger!

If you are really interested in this system, Art, check out this lenthy post on the H.A.M.B. board and get the scoop and then go to the Angel Guilding website to check out what is discussed in the H.A.M.B. post. I came across this a couple of years ago. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/diy-spray-on-chrome.674441/ http://angelgilding.com/SpraySilver.html

Real. It looks really real to me.

Ah, Harry. Limonene, for your edification, melts styrene. In the 3d printing world you will see fdm printers with two print nozzles. This has a two fold effect. One, it allows for the printing in 2 different colors. The other is that it allows one print nozzle to print in abs and the other in hips. That's high impact styrene for those not familiar with the termonology. The hips is used for support material on angles greater than 45 degrees. The actual print is made from abs. Why use hips? Because when left in a bath of limonene overnight, it desolves styrene the same as acetone. The result is a finished print and no need for the p.i.a. of removing the support material. My common sense assumption to this is that if it works the same as acetone on styrene, it should weld the pieces together. It might take longer though as I can't comment as I have no first hand experience . Keep in mind that limonene is found in food and cosmetics. Web M.D. says that is may destroy cancer cells. If I'm looking for an alternative to the potentially harmful glue available, a limonene based product makes sense. It does not fit into todays microwave society real well if the result are not instantanious, but is a good alternative to those health conscious souls with concerns.

This should pretty well satisfy your doubt. The prints in these vidios are untouched and are exactly as you see them when they come off the printer. These printers are just now starting to show up in numbers. They work entirely different than the fff and fdm printers. http://www.electrictv.com/?p=15143 This one I want to try to build over the summer-http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-high-resolution-3D-DLP-printer-3D-printer/ It has a build platform of 4" X4" X however high you make the x axis and a layer thickness of 100nm. That is the distance between your thumb and index finger pinched together. They print from the top down vertically instead of bottom up horizontally. It should rum me about $1k. Enjoy. This is how the technology is growing, not these cheap knock offs listed in this thread.
