George Bojaciuk Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) A friend printed me a dyno in PLA. I’ve had it for quite some time. It was an early attempt on his part. I’ve played with it for some time and finally decided to finish it. The rollers are heavy grade foil. The roll was accomplished by forming it over a brass tube and a rubber roller. I soft masked the tire areas and dusted on some flat black. The ramps have Plastruct Diamond plate on them. A wash of flat black was applied to show some dirt. The computer is a SEL piece that I put together for a Y2K BUG, when I was at FM. It’s been sitting in my shop since 2000. I promised John Dezan a dyno and my friend is having issues printing with his new resin printer. So as not to make John wait any longer, I decided to gift him with this one! Oh, the GTX is an old SAE article car….that is NOT included! Edited October 21, 2021 by George Bojaciuk Add pics 1
Snake45 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I can see this being the centerpiece of a powered, sound-enhanced diorama.
Bainford Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Now that’s cool. What a neat way to display a model.
George Bojaciuk Posted October 21, 2021 Author Posted October 21, 2021 GTX was built in the ‘80’s and featured in Scale Auto. It’s held up quite well!
espo Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 The GTX looks great. The Dyno would be perfect in a diorama of a speed shop.
George Bojaciuk Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 For all you safety freaks… I enclosed both red and black material for John to make his straps with!
Zippi Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Sweet looking GTX. Nice dyno. Yeah....needs some straps.
George Bojaciuk Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 Lol! What he wanted was a raw one. I kept him waiting more than I wanted to. Decided to give him the one I was working on. Goes out Monday to him! Hope to get a few more made, but in resin. So much easier to work with!
TonyW Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Love that GTX. The strobe stripes really stand out.
