khier

I can only speak about myself. I neither sell my files nor printed parts because I am using the CAD software freely. It would be immoral to charge anyone anything in any form for things I did not pay for the tools used to produce them. I do not mind if someone sells prints of my design as printing service provided that my name is declared as a designer.

Excellent color choice.

Mad Max's E-type.

Beautiful model of a beautiful car.

These were the days when cars and ladies looked decent and did not have plastic in them. Great model.

"I can't imagine what "mess" you're talking about......." I had enough of the simple sticks, especially the fun when I try to re-activate older paints adding thinner. My life became much better after I bought a vortex mixer. I hated, however, the need to hold vibrating bottles with fingers (it is dangerous by the way for those who do it four hours in labs). I wanted a mixer that sits firmly on the table and holds the bottles by itself. The above design outperformed my vortex mixer by light years. It is running at 500 RPM, something like 10 times stirring. I am working currently on a second variant with less moving parts and simpler design.

Haven't shaken a paint bottle fer many years, been using a paint mixer. Works perfectly, no mess, no fuss. 1- Does not fit in small containers. 2- MUST be thoroughly cleaned after each mix. In short: The worst device ever, unless we are talking about Cappuccino.

Why bother shaking paint bottles? Seems to me that it’s a LOT easier to stir. Because stirring IS a mess I want to avoid.

I am not sure if this is the right section for this topic. I leave it to the moderator to decide, Do you like to shake paint bottles? I don't.... therefore, I bought a vortex paint shaker that worked well, but I hat holding the bottles and vibrating my finger. I read also somewhere it is not a healthy practice. I needed a shaker that I can fix on the table. Besides.... My almost new Anycubic Chiron sat there collecting dust for years since I was busy with resin printing. So I was looking for a project to make it warm again. I am not done yet with motor speed control and display. There will be a 10 segment led to display the motor voltage/display and a driver board to handle the current. No adapters are needed for different paint types. you will need the following hardware parts in addition to the print parts included here: 1- JGA25-370 Geared motor-I picked up the 500 rpm/12V variant 2- 12V power supply - of 2A rating or higher 3- M4 threaded rods. 3 to hold the paint bottles and 3 to join the shaker body parts. 4- 6xM4 flat head hexagon socket sleeve nuts 5- 6xM4 butterfly or sleeve nuts 6- 3mm steel rod to be cut in 10-12 mm rods. 7- 3x3x8x4zz bearings 8- LM3914 10 Segment 12V Battery Capacity Indicator 9- 12V DC Motor Speed Controller Module 10- 40PIN 20CM Dupont Line Male to Female wires. 11- Female DC Power Supply Jack Socket. 12- C-Type Clamp to hold the shaker. The 10 Segment display has to be separated from the board socket and connected via the male/female connectors. The potentiometer in the driver board must also be disouldered and connected via wires. Here is short video link of the mechanical test using a 23 ml Tamiya acrylic paint glass:

I made a roof with skylight for my trailer. Shorter versions will follow. Feel free to download and print.

As far as I know, there is not a single kit of a split window beetle in 1/24th scale. Therefore, I decided to make a conversion kit to exsisting VW beetle kits. I did not go crazy with accuracy and details and limited the parts to the exterior, like body, bumpers, lights,... etc,. As far as the interior is concerned, only the dashboard and steering wheel. I will create one day decals for the gauges. Seats, door panels have to be taken from a donor kit, or scratch built if an accurate model is desired. Clear parts have to be fabricated also. Available for download in STL format at major CAD exchange platforms, free of charge as usual. I hope you like it.

Let me know if you experience difficulties. I shall be glad to assist. Here is a link to a YouTube video showing them (not my video). Look at 10:24 for the wheels:

Can you name him/her, or post the link to the copy of your decals? I mean as a warning for others.

I am not surprised because someone stole my work. I am surprised because he offered it at the very same platform where he stole it, and did not even try to rename file.

I wouldn't mind if he acknowledged me as a designer and didn't sell it.

Yes. The site administrator removed it upon my report.

Today while I was browsing parts suitable for my upcoming Revell E-type convertible build, I came across a page selling the wire wheel I made three years ago for the same kit. The seller is so clever that he/she is selling my file on the same platform I offer mine. Furthermore, using the exact file name as mine. I allowed a couple of person to sell printed parts based on this file, but not the file itself, and on the condition of referring to me as a designer. Here are the links so everyone can can judge himself: 1- The stolen file: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/jaguar-e-type-rims 2- Mine, the original file: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/1-24-jaguar-wire-wheel-for-revell-s-kit

I will, provided you supply the complete list of VINs to choose from.

Revell's suggested prices are 36.99 and 39.99 EUR for the C8 and GT500, respectively. Not 5 EUR, but yes, more expensive than the Corvette despite being an old, depreciated kit.

Hi all, Would it be enough to drop the hood decals and chin spoiler to convert the kit to a '69 car? Thanks

Nice build, although i would have chosen green or orange for a car of this era. Now a side question to all: would it suffice to no to apply the black hood stripes and chin spoiler to convert the upcoming Revell '70 kit to a '69 model? Thanks in advance.

They could simply separate the front spoiler and have all market segment satisfied. Ver y simple actually....

Why is it so difficult to make a kit of the regular 240Z?? If they separated the front spoiler, added the stock carburetors and grill, it could be immediately built as a show room model. And stock hub caps/rims of course.
