Re: Sand Rover, Tamiya's unlovable child

Tried an FDM print , it's in polycarbonate, not nearly as detailed reproduction but not bat , it's got exhaust pipes , ,carburettors and pulleys , I have a distributor designed but not printed yet . I need to move the mounting for it as it sits just a bit too low , easy to do . 20230515_213822.jpg 2...

Re: Again another Marui project : Super Wheelie and Big Bear!

On the Big Bear, everything is set for the bodyshell. Left over are the masking and the paintjob.... I'm quite clear on what it will look like, and it won't be boxart... There is 3 days left (and in practice that really means 2 evennings and one day) before the packing and departure for the first v...

Re: Sand Rover, Tamiya's unlovable child

Finally happy with the placement and design of the engine , i need to reprint the exhausts as the support moved so the pipes look funky.

Yes but only gently with the engine fitted , I may print a TPE engine in less detail for running , for those not yet 3d printing TPE is rubber like but hard to print detailed parts with .

Big Bear Resurrection

So, with the RC10 Graphite done, I figured I'd try to get somewhere on the Big Bear that I scooped up with that giant pile of free gold. It really doesn't look like it's been run much at all.
