2014 Z-28 Camaro
Lownslow replied to Custom Hearse's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It wouldnt surprise me at that figure most modelers know its cheaper to get them direct fom japan than through any hobby shop Benz 722 SLR is almost 70$ here compared to the 35$ it costs to get it direct. They might or might not be but there has been a upswing in demand for revell civics by younger modelers, prices havent gotten out of hand yet like the Revell Lowrider Cadillac but that kit appreciated in value faster than any other revell kit in a really short time they were selling for 50-80$ at one point before they were reissued and a lot of people called it a pointless kit. Im in a club with people who have information on revell and they said before the best selling kit before the 50 olds, is the snap tite Camaro. The only reason the olds outsold the camaro is the years of hype following it but in 20 or 30 years when the younger builders get into the game what options are they gonna have? i know some teenage model builders and aside from revells current model offerings theres not much there, the cars that appeal to them are the same ones i posted with the exception of the missing Infinity's -
i am pushing to draw one but its gonna take time with limited resources and a Zd frame

Play-Doh 3D Printer
Lownslow replied to DirtModeler's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
lol that woulve been awesome for making molds, i knew something was up when i saw the size of the extrusion wire. -
I drew the outline of the old chassis plate on a sheet of paper, scanned it and imported it into my 3D program and drew the new chassie set up and basically made it ready to print as long as the file is Tiff i can import it without loosing scale, Its good setup for making custom frame fixtures. This works with any cad program that has the ability to import pictures like sketchup.

GM: People got mad we put Camaro tailights on a Vette unfortunately we ran out of said tailights using them on the new Corvette but its not all bad we just bought out a 10 year supply of Daewoo tailights. -

Scissor Door Hinge *Tested and passed*
Lownslow replied to Lownslow's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
theres a ring lock the harder you push the tighter then lamborghini portion gets but hopefully no one over does it thats what im going to find out also the pin is press fit against the base but the "hinging" portion is slip fit no room for it its a really small hinge -
Scissor Door Hinge *Tested and passed*
Lownslow replied to Lownslow's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Took a minute to develop this but its considered the achilles of many modelers and practically out of reach for builders lacking the proper skills but with this set youll have consistent hinges no more one door opens more than another. it all assembles with a brass pin that you will have to supply. I put them in a sampler tree 2 lambo, 2 regular hinges. The regular hinges are modern as the door will swing inwards into the fender same as the lambo door without the vertical feature .
