https://i.imgur.com/Vf7xQXh.jpg The printed side facing up is always good. https://i.imgur.com/tzBGoRk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6KM2XlD.jpg The underside, or layer resting on the supports, is always rough. https://i.imgur.com/DhxlA3Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3T2q2Ks.jpg I'm learning a bunch on what t...

Amain has pre-orders for $390. https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-associated-rc10-jay-halsey-edition-1-10-electric-2wd-buggy-kit-asc6008/p1581103 I may wait a bit to see if I can get one from LiquidRC or nitrohobbies direct. I got mine from Amain for $380, plus $30 off with the monthly coupon. That ...

Polished the gloss layer from Coarse, to Fine, and then Finish with the Tamiya polish compounds. Struggling to come to terms with the problems in the paint job. Need to decide to fix the flaws - which won't be short or easy to do, or leave the 'character'. The line I putty'd on the nose, chipped and...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! :D If I try to fix those errors now, I'm likely to ruin an adjacent area in the process, and go in circles like I did with the Tyrrell P-34 model. Going to leave it alone and use that as a reminder of how to mask better in the future. I'll always use the Tamiya cu...

Sabotage!


Those new Tamiya royalty free decals are the worst, I have to buy the MCI decals in order to not ruin the vintage model theme, or even look at those generics.

Great cover of a crap song :lol:. I was going to post a song from Gaslight Anthem, seeing how it wasn't you that did that to my workbench. :D Got all the box art decals rough cut, there really aren't that many. https://i.imgur.com/uW4VDGl.jpg Lots of good ones leftover that will find their way on to...

Front pivots, rear axles and front springs.


Getting close to being done with printing the SRB. Will drill and tap most of this, but probably have to CA or hot glue some things along the way.

I was all set to buy the Kyosho Assault in late '86, had just turned 14, and kept poring over the TowerHobbies catalog, specifically for the Kyosho Assault. Ended up buying a RAM expansion for the Commodore 64 instead, and traded away my '85 Frog for more C64 stuff, shortly thereafter. :lol: If I co...

Got the white PETG, and Olive Matte PLA. The PETG Manx dune buggy chassis was the last piece to print, it's ready for assembly. https://i.imgur.com/yCjwAOp.jpg The Olive Matte is exactly the same color as plastic army men. https://i.imgur.com/d6duaTQ.jpg First crash test dummy, forgot to print his e...

The Sharpie looks pretty good, it's not flat black, but it does look like rubber.




Going to finish as much as I can with the pen, and then see if it requires paint.

The Losi ProMoto MX comes in red, blue and green, the green one still costs $50 more than the others. Off topic, sorry. The reason for the price difference is the green ProMoto comes with battery and charger, the red and blue don’t All of those YT videos I watched on the ProMoto MX, they never ment...

Hi, joined the forum specifically because of your build thread, love the work you’ve done on recreating this car and I’m planning on making my own as always loved the Dirty Harry films and remember going to the cinema to see The Dead Pool when I was 16. Do you have contact details for dhawk that yo...

The test print look good! :D Those belly plates will be easy to model, print and attach. Although the floor assembly print isn't meant to be structural, the plates should add some rigidity making it less brittle. We can add a full aluminum pan to the top side of the frame assembly to give the bus a...

That's excellent! Thank you for supplying reference photos for the belly plates and cargo floor. How thin do you think I can model them and still have useable prints? I've made the walls for the frame 1mm but could we have made them thinner?? Thank you for the excellent model! 1mm might still work ...

So I have a P1s with the supplied spool of PLA and I'm ready to print for the first time. I use a basic flip phone and care nothing about the Handy App or Bambu cloud, I simply want to send my files directly from my laptop to the printer via wifi connection. However, when I navigate to WLAN for con...
