Very cool , I haven't thought about Barbapapa or Barbamama in decades :D I thought it was definitely suitable for some vintage RC, just like the Mistery machine is also very suitable for a Lunchbox :-) (be carefull, next image may reignite some chidhood memories)... https://i.imgur.com/7JgCrAF.jpg

One of the Big Bear bodies I have had an awfully thick paint on top of it. It seemed thick and quite solid... I put it for 48 hours in the magic sauce bath (aka Glanzer, see my Ninja and Shogun thread)... After about 6 hours, bubbles started to appear, so there was a good chance the paint can be rem...

And sometime later...


Then later again... I used Metallic blue (TS-19)


I'll let that cure for 24 hours at least before going for the details...

While I was printing the masks for the Mitsubishi and the Big Bear body is curing, I've done some work on the CJ-7 dashboard, with some masking for the brown part and with some paint markers for the rest... It's difficult to get it right are marking are very small... https://i.imgur.com/LUhJFHM.jpeg...

The work continues... Details added to the Mitsubishi at front and rear end... https://i.imgur.com/xq0cXqG.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Ue8G5st.jpeg The plan is to let this cure, apply the stickers and then the clear coat... While it cures, I moved a bit on the CJ-7... I applied details here and there e...

Progress update... Here is the Toyota bodyshell... I don't have the stickers yet, so the clear coat will have to wait... (for those curious about it, this is the body which is on the pictures when I started this project/thread). Beside the stickers, everything is ready for the clear coat... https://...

I tend to procrastinate a lot when it comes to resin printing... The process is so cumbersome any reason to delay a print is a good reason... I delayed so much that I can just throw an ABS like resin bottle away. I was about to launch some prints today. I shaked the bottle quite for a few minutes, a...

And here is some helmets...


Someone on another forum said that with the visor, that looks like The Stig


All of this needs to go for paint next before I put the helmets in place...

A few things arrived today... First an essential part for the Super Wheelie I'm building for my daughter (she is 14 but she will love this)... https://i.imgur.com/LGsQRxw.jpeg Then a NIB car... The box is a bit damaged, but the content is brand new... https://i.imgur.com/Qx0rOcQ.jpeg https://i.imgur...

As the resin printer was busy, I did a cut of the STL in Bambu studio and printed the scan in two parts... Here is the result. There is still a bit of work as the base of the helmet is not clean enough currently (at least for me so I feel there is more work. https://i.imgur.com/f5G7G5l.jpeg I'll als...

I printed the scan in resin to see how much it is different...


The result is better defined (as expected)... I still need to work the base in CAD, and we'll try to scan the body later on... Normally, the feature tracking should work better on the body so we'll see.

After my day of work, I went for another scanner session... This time I used high accuracy in the capture (it was in standard accuracy last time). I started by capturing the body. For this I used the black support (black means the scanner will not capture it), as the body itself should have enough f...

Received some special bodies today...

(Mugen Mercury custom body, and prototype repro body)...

New renderings following the updated wing... https://i.imgur.com/wVKJ94V.png https://i.imgur.com/E8REC2g.png https://i.imgur.com/8ff1qPS.png https://i.imgur.com/G1bA49u.png https://i.imgur.com/EKZUyhP.png https://i.imgur.com/bKcY1n3.png https://i.imgur.com/6VW5K5L.png https://i.imgur.com/4q4hHdc.pn...

Gone for some test prints...


I'll put a comparison between the original parts and the printed parts later on after the printed/cleaned part are fully dry and cured...
