I did a simplified bodyshell based on the Shkee DB-1 bodyshell I have in hands right now... It's missing some details, but the target is not here to make a mold, as this bodyshell is available (mine fome from Delta plastic and I found it on ebay). https://i.imgur.com/P0aQEhz.png A first rendering is...

Woke up kind of excited to make art :lol: Spraying Kyrlon clear polyurethane first and putting non polycarb paint colors over it makes cool effects. I’ll be testing the durability by bending different dried paints sandwiched between the urethane on the plastic. https://i.postimg.cc/1tQpXSzc/D00-CF53...

Screenshot_20240218-182146_Gallery.jpg This is an Academy Minicraft Lazer, a Hornet knockoff from the 1980's, that I finished restoring a few weeks ago. I picked it up for $20 on Offerup from a guy who listed it as a "Kyosho Hornet" and completed the restoration for under $100. Screenshot...

I’m having way too much fun now

In 1987 Global Hobby Distributors released the Panda 1/10th 2wd off-road buggy. Manufactured by Vericom and imported from Tiawan the Panda was Vericom's version of the Nikko Rhino. Constructed almost exclusively out of ABS plastic the Panda's tub style chassis supported a lower a-arm fixed upper lin...

The panda vehicles came RTR and as kits if I remember right. Some years back the parts weren’t selling on eBay so I made a very local seller an offer and bought them all. Not long after that a seller in France had the body, sticker kit, wheels, controller, and some other parts. I want to say it was ...

I've mentioned this a couple times in other threads but, my brother had been storing my childhood Blackfoot for the last 20 years or so and I just found out he had it about a year ago. Got it back from him last Thanksgiving and went over it to figure out what it needed and a significant portion of m...

Got my steps in today by walking one of the pedestrian bridges across the James River in downtown Richmond. The bridge I am walking on is actually an old railroad bridge, which was actually built on top of an adjustable dam that directed water to a canal used by the electric company, and produced po...

In case you didn't see em, Dunn's have rere'd their roll cages and nerf bars. Built on the original jigs. Get em while you can

Picked up a Wild Willy just for the tires, and paid about what the tires are worth these days. It will end up being a project at some point in the future as I have always wanted a M38, but for now, it is just a set of tires.

Marui Hunter is on the program this week-end... I did proceed yesterday evenning with some test prints to validate the chassis... While modeling the Galaxy, I identified where was the 1.5mm issue I was suspicious about. I did a cut of the front area, added a marker for the bodymount position and a 1...

Hello everyone, it’s been a while. I’ve just purchased a Landjump 4D. It hasn’t arrived yet so I’m waiting with anticipation. I’ve always fancied one of these and this one came up so decided to take the plunge. I plan on restoring it and adding it to my now mainly Tamiya vintage collection from the ...

This is next level RC - First saw this on Facebook - Danny Huynh Creations. He has incorporated animated driver figures and other cool details like rotating engine parts, machine guns and sound effects. Very Cool. If the link doesn’t work, search Danny Huynh Creations on youtube. - Limestang https:/...

I just can't do it all anymore. I'm teaching Eddie starting with tinkercad and he will be doing my cad work in the future so I can concentrate on more important work.

Don't you love that look of disgust when he sees the camera?

The Motor cap is done...


As expected, it should require a bit of rework on the lateral body cut


Tomorrow, the focus will move to the roll cage and bodyshell for the prototype...
