  1. Nice work. You have knocking out these chassis to a science. Just curious how long does it take you to do the chassis to this point?
  2. Although I never had the problem I heard that Tamiya clear over Tamiya paint had an issue. You either had to clear right after the final color coat or what weeks before you cleared.
  3. All I can say is this would be an ideal crowd funding project. However the catch is you have to have to have details presented for it to fly not just a bunch of hand waving. I would be happy to be wrong about this but I don't see it happening it takes more than good intentions for things like this to work.
  4. Nice work. Color suits it nicely.
  5. He's living in Hawaii right now. Its interesting if you read more of the links. The model one in particular. He's getting an expensive 3D printer and will be learning a cad program to make prototypes for an innovative injection process. No specifics to what he is using. Also he admits he is using the preorders to get the tools and materials for this project. Then he offers a money back guarantee on your preorder.How can he do that if he's spent the money? Sorry guys too few concrete details for how this project is going to work. I've got nothing against the guy and I would love to add a Uncertain T to my collection but I can't see this happening.
  6. Unbelievable. Never seen anything like it.
  7. Can't see that the 3d printer would work. Just the time to print a single kit would be staggering. Second the printing material isn't cheap either. Third the print quality isn't there for 25th scale in the home or commercial 3d printers. There is no way to make this work. Quite frankly everyone wants to credit this guy as being a con man but I doubt that. In reality this guy just doesn't undrrstand what it takes to make this or any business venture work. That dooms any possibility of this working. It Anyone wanting an uncertain T would have a better chance taking the 25 dollars and buying lottery tickets and winning enough to buy an original kit.
  8. Art I've also heard that the chroming process can cause hydrogen embrittlement which can weaken the parts.
  9. The stained wood really loks nice.
  10. Love the bell. You make it so simple the way you do it.
  11. Thanks just what I was looking for.
  12. Thanks that helps. Do you know if the suspension was chrome? I've tried to find shots of the suspension without any success.
  13. Very nice.
  14. Dollars store is good for emery boards , sanding boards.
  15. Nice job.
  16. Nice work. Great idea for the shutters.
  17. Nice work. Coming along nicely. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that misses something and them has to find a work around. Also I gotta agree on the model paints getting silly on prices. Like the tamiya but its gotten ridiculous in price. I use automotive primer for everything I do.
