  1. yes, the stuff i had gotten made before is a resin grade type material in not. the stuff theyre talking about is PLA which i think is what solo cups are made with in which case would fry at the sight of solvents.ill probably prep it the same way i prepped my prototype which is a dip in future then primer.
  2. Heres a really big shot of the tractor printed at almost full resolution the part can be made slightly smaller then with high build primer the lines go away. I do plan on buying this printer since i can use it on more than just model cars. http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/editors/files/92364/MakerBot_Replicator2_with_Tractor.jpg
  3. stance is repairable, crappy wheels arent.
  4. thing is you wont lose out on resale on one of those like GM appliance car
  5. i would consider what i do scratch building making 3d parts isnt exactly a easy thing to do.
  6. ive looked into the printer i actually signed up for one its perfect to make custom parts like wheels and tires and the occasional futuristic engine or 2
  7. All the audio stuff was stuff i had laying around, i didnt want to use a car headunit since am/fm stations in illinois suck beyond buzz lightyears to infinity and beyond motto. Its a 40W set up using a re-purposed AV amplifier powered by a converted pc powersupply. It gets pretty loud enough to hear bass over the CNCs i plan on upgrading the amplifier in the future to a higher output and adding some usb chargers.
  8. thats one insane looking whip
  9. if youre wondering why my new wheels have no lug patterns heres why, i dislike wheel lugs this is doable in 1:1 but then we would be paying 10k for wheels
  10. 22s ive been studying CORR wheels i figure theyre the best in between medium for everyone
  11. i was bracing for the worst but thats actually a really nice kit
  12. massive cleanup going on
  13. I got to see a opened kit i passed the wheels suck worse than a pyro 48 lincolns
  14. went to buy the 50 olds but it came off as a BLAH kit in my hands bought this instead going to build it for my GF, they had the Foose Firebird kit there and Revell did pull a AMT rides the wheels were junk compared to the box art at least you could see how bad the amt wheels were.
  15. not from the dealer but probably from the police department.
  16. the old batmobile needs a new set of rollers
  17. to change your blinker fluid
  18. got the van really really really cheap
  19. Asanti did some wood grain wheels back in the late 90s they looked awesome i do plan on releasing a set where it might be doable with balsa
