Marvel's Hydra coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build
64SS350 replied to François's topic in WIP: Model Cars
To build this piece from scratch, while understanding the engineering, design, and execution of it all, via a 3D print system....is amazing in itself! I haven't yet dove into printing,but I may contact you for advice if I do!! The added touches... like the leather on the seats....wow! Again..keep it up!! -
Marvel's Hydra coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build
64SS350 replied to François's topic in WIP: Model Cars
This build is amazing. From the engineering of the parts, fit, and functionality. Might I suggest though, sanding and filling some parts to eliminate the printing layer lines before painting? Keep it going, looking forward to more progress! -
Looks like an old Boyd wheel or Dodge PU?

My first try at making molding was for some side trim. I used a scriber and a straight edge to clean out the middle of some flat styrene. (pics 1-2) My second method is cutting a shape into the edge of a razor blade and scraping along the flat styrene. Guides are sometimes helpful and or needed.(pics 3-4)

This arrived today, a bit worse for the wear. Came wrapped well in bubble wrap and only a plastic mailing bag. Kit seems unharmed. Also, engine was started, which wasn't stated or shown in pics.

Making my paint booth from galv. sheet metal

If it's something you might do more of, I would consider buying styrene from the guy on eBay. It's more pliable to make bends with and it holds the shape. Here's some examples...

Making my paint booth from galv. sheet metal
64SS350 replied to 64SS350's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Made a pair of brackets for the blower/hose connection. My idea was to mount 1 lower for the bucket filter, and 1 higher if I end up venting to a window. They need to trimmed a bit yet, but you get the picture. -

Cut out the base skeleton (not shown after excess removed) .... silicone and clamped it in place, cut the exhaust hole, and made channels for the filter. -

64SS350 replied to 64SS350's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Thanks, blessed with abilities in many areas. I've learned much from combining genres ...ie; woodworking, metal working, painting, etc. The metal is a little heavier than it needs to be, but it was free!! And to imagine, costing way less to make than many brand names. -

Yep... that's an inherited trait! LOL. Learned early on from my dad to do things right the first time, less problems later and a better product in the end. -

Removing Layering from 3D Printed Bodies.
64SS350 replied to Kayma367's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
As in another thread, I mentioned I like using thin CA first. Then start sanding, and continue with primers as needed.
