  1. Redoing my spray booth by sealing the wood in Kilz and adding a plexi door and making a consistent size filter box.
  2. Considering they recently got bought out by vulture capitalists im not surprised to see a decline in product quality and working conditions
  3. Too many hobbies and distractions were causing the pileups, the folding tables were showing their age and warping and in general it wasn't comfortable anymore so i took 800$ and invested in my room. I basically took everything out of the room and moved it into the garage and decided to throw half of it out. Started with half empty supplies, then redundant stuff, then the hobbies i no longer had interest in(custom hot wheels). The 3d printer area was a bigger mess basically cut it down to two printers and put the other two in the garage till i decide to get rid of them. The change made a difference just waiting on lighting and another storage cart and a nice painting to fill the wall by the bench.
  4. Gundams are popular here too, i build gundam from time to time and always tell my friends to build those first before tackling cars. Gundams are beginner friendly, affordable, and most dont need paint. Theres gundams for all skills and budgets and a high amount of variants based on which lore youre into. As much as i love model cars im also a realistic person when it comes to recommending them over model car or traditional "glue" kits
  5. 23.5 wide, 25 radius. Heavy equipment tires get goofy because its international
  6. punched out some steering wheels, custom LA Wire wheel/and Ribbon wheel
  7. the boomer cars are just too expensive most of them cost as much as a house i used to be after those cars not so much anymore since im getting into home remodelling and all i want is a carbon Fiber countertop
  8. I use scans to make new parts, cloning kit parts was never part of the plan. I clean them up enough to make it easier to develop a new chassis so that the car is completely low when assembled
  9. testing the new scanner its much easier to do whole chassis now
  10. Bought a new scanner this one does slightly bigger jobs like 1/10 RC
  11. Are there any early 1920-30s mopar kits only see ford and chevy and closest early car i can find is the GB imperial.
  12. i hit a wall with the scanner today that i had to buy a new scanner to complete the project. i still plan on using my detail scanner for other projects.
  13. Yeah Maria is the reason why most of my family has settled stateside from PR they got hit pretty hard, we figure by 2040 we wont have much prescence there other than real estate
  14. Cults is pretty effective at removing files because certain parameters can be looked up
  15. Possibly the worst kit i ever worked on even at the end i ran into a issue that i had to 3d print my way out of. Other than that i got a clean build out of it for my mom, engine bay is completely 3d printed, vert boot is sculpted from putty and the interior details were older 3d prints i had sitting in the flash drive. My mom wanted a dark green car so i went with Highland green over black. I wanted the wheels to be interesting so i went with custom firebird wheels in 26"
  16. Thanks, the wheels were a recent change never planned on firebird wheels but i figured nobody had done them in scale or 1:1 so i went for it and really happy with the results
  17. Next couple of months patreon content showed up the 359 alone i have over 40 parts planned. the 49 is gonna get scanned and some new front and rear ends will be made but mostly want to reverse engineer it so i can make a completion kit for the Flintstone bodies
  18. Finally got around to printing a custom body kit for the AMT Chevy OBS, i wanted to run big wheels without having to slam it
