MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. I've given him a couple of books that show how to draw things by using basic shapes and my niece has used the same type of tuto Trials from the web. I have also given him some snap kits to build to get my great nephew into the hobby. He also likes to build things.
  2. I was pleased yesterday. My family and I went out for lunch for my sister's birthday. My niece doesn't believe in shoving a cell phone in my great nephews hand when we are waiting for the food. He likes to draw and I gave him a small sketch book to draw in. He had some great drawings in it and was happily drawing in it yesterday. He got a good eye for drawing what he sees and I'm pleased to encourage him.
  3. Looks like a great kit. For a lot of subject matter this makes the most sense. Due to the niche appeal I really don't think that thecost to do the styrene kit can be justified
  4. Exactly. 3d printing is just another tool to be used. Not every tool is suited for every task so the more tools you can use offers the ability to choose the best tool for the job . 6Now is the time to adjust the rules to accommodate this new technology. Box stock category was established when all of the aftermarket products. It allowed builders to just compete on skills. The An interesting idea.
  5. More progress. Things are coming together nicely. The interior now has been roughed in and just needs more cleanup. Nice thing is that the chassis and engine comments are assembled from the box and only needs a longer drive shaft. The interior has been stretched and the interior utilizes the Cobra seats and dash. This really keeps the project from spinning out of control.
  6. More progress on the interior. Found something to use to fill in the tunnel in the interior. Added plastic to clean up the underside of the interior and to add strength to the unit. Mocked up the body with the glass and the interior tub to make sure there are no issues. It will need a little more adjustment. I had to use a second dash to match the position of the Cobra dash. Need to continue cleanup on the interior. More to come.
  7. With the wider acceptance of using 3d printing I can see the need for rules changes. For example if you buy stock if I purchase file for a model say the Uncertain T that should be allowed in a box stock. On the other hand if I create my own design then I think that would be have to be determined how to classify. Please share your thoughts.
  8. Back on this project. Using as much of the Cobra kit to keep things simple. It's shaping up nicely.
  9. Finally back on the bench. Chassis was lengthened using a second chassis. Only thing I need to do is lengthen the driveshaft.. Using the Cobra interior. Seats, dash and stretched tub. Using the top part of the maverick dash. A rough mock up of work done so far.
  10. First off an amazing models. They demonstrate the exciting possibilities provided by 3d printing. The quality of judging for contests for difference shows can vary from very good to bad. That has been one of the reasons that NNL ( display only) had become so popular. Congradulations on your people choice award which shoews appreciation for your fine work.Please continue to build and share your work and don't get discouraged.
  11. We normally get a official announcement that the magazine has been mailed. Is the magazine in the mail?
  12. Sounds to me like this is an issue with the forum software supplier. Saw this fix on looking at SQL injection Example (in pseudocode) Vulnerable (direct string concatenation): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + username + "' AND password = '" + password + "'" An attacker could enter ' OR 1=1 -- into the username field to bypass the login. Safe (using a parameterized query): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? AND password = ?" ExecuteQuery(query, [username, password])
  13. Here is a tutorial on scribing lines. Here is tutorial about mold lines.
  14. My suggestion would be to create a document with the text. Divide that text into two parrs and post half and see if it succeeds. If it does the add have of the remaining text and see if that works. It shouldn't be too hard to find the offending text.
