    What seller so others can be aware? I'm having problems with these guys don't know how to figure out scale.

    Got this the other day, 3d printed '59 Suburban. It's a nice printing, but the scale is definitely smaller than 1/25, which is how it was advertised.

    Did the MPC or AMT version get corrected? What year of production?

    I watched recommendations on YouTube, the one from Gaahleri was supposed to be a bit loud. I settled on the "No Name" brand on Amazon, it had good reviews there also. I haven't used it....but I ran it. It's definitely quiet! Looking forward to trying it, working to get my paint booth together first. I watched for two years, hoping for Black Friday discounts, but no go. It was at $140 for a long time, right after I purchased mine, it went to $150. Hope this helps.

    My notifications haven't been showing up, so just caught up on several pages of content. This is from Christmas and birthday (model related)

    It took me this long to figure out my notifications aren't showing up at all. And also, thank you for all you guys do for this forum!!

    Got some 3d prints and extras. 59 Chevy Apache, and wheel sets. The one set came out too large, I need to contact the seller. But all pieces look of nice quality. Sent some extra for the misprints.

    One step closer to my new paint booth...

    Picked my truck up from the shop, and this beauty was sitting there....

    The boat was an afterthought, I have to say....I believe it is the first small boat I've done!
  14. 64SS350
    That's a good idea, I have found that to be true, sometimes too late.

    Coping saw
  16. 64SS350
    A method I found/saw and use.... find something around the house like a tall pill bottle, PVC pipe, heavy cardboard roll.... long enough to go across the entire body.Then wrap it with sand paper, works great. If some cutting is necessary at first, I'd use a Dremel with a 1/2" drum.

    With all resin products, it's part of the acceptance that their could /will be some clean up, pin holes , sanding, fitting,etc. It all depends on the quality of the piece. They are not hard to work with, just some different processes and precautions are required. But, to be able to get a car or whatever, that has never been kitted, it can be an acceptable trade off.

    The Revell kit is more detailed, I believe separate frame, opening trunk, etc. It is also an Impala SS, which means chrome and badge removal/change. Also the rooflines are different between an Impala and the Bel-Air, and usually only 4 rear lights/lenses vs 6 on the Impala. These are the major visible differences, not including drivetrain, motor, interior ,and other available options. There are resins out there with I believe two or four door options.

    My advice is to try and use them up, and at minimum....store in a container of some sort. I have had several eat through the can seams and leak.....some profusely if not detected in time.
  20. 64SS350
    So here's the shadowing on the headliner, didn't turn out too bad(had a little slip of the pen on that one seam). Also some boat interior work done. The flooring and trailer stand offs are a lighter blue to represent carpeting. While the side vinyl matches the truck interior.

    While creating these Flintstone Flyer cars, I had a ton of scratch building involved. This one element is very hard to see unless using a light through the side window. On the real car, he put a window in the firewall to have access to the magneto, since it was unreachable from the front. I even made the aluminum frame and added "plexi" later.
  22. 64SS350
    Well, I'll keep that in mind, but he asked for methods we use, and that's what I use. You have to sand either way.
  23. 64SS350
    I like to sand first. The amount of sanding depends on the body contours, not to take away from the body lines or shape too much from what it should be or leave too much as it would add to the original contours. Then I use thin CA as a filler, and resand, finishing with primer and sanding if needed. Also, I have found a few areas where the print was thin and/or stressed which caused cracking. So the CA helps add a strengthening layer for that situation as well as repair. Enjoy the process!

    Has anyone verified the correct date? Facebook or not....a club representative should clarify this since printed material show two different dates.
