I've saved the largest and most complex parts for last on this project. This bed side required 11-1/2 hours to print -- but I think it was worth the time. With layer height set to 0.08mm, the layer lines are almost non-existent. A few passes with some 380 grit paper and they're gone. I probably cou...

Looking forward to seeing the pics!

There's also a Dune Buggy and a Sand Rail in the Gdrive, that GoMachV uploaded, been thinking about giving one of those a print.

Amain's last one, came with a $20 off coupon from something called Klarna, a new 4-pay service I had to use to get the deal on eBay. https://i.imgur.com/iYYixqy.jpeg Haven't bought a kit in 6 months. Amain is about 3 hours away from here, could be here before the weekend. Tamiya is calling the 2014 ...

I admire your persistence. You keep after it until it's perfect. I'll give my paint jobs one shot and just live with all the imperfections. If I try to repair my mistakes, I always make them look worse. :( The wheels and tires look amazing!! Thanks so much! If I leave those mistakes on there, I can...

Ran out of TS-26 white paint, thought one can would be enough, but didn't figure in my mistakes and do-over. Can't peel this until I get more TS-26 to finish the weak lines, can still see a thin blue line. https://i.imgur.com/DrxPLT8.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/YCkUawC.jpeg Did get those drips removed....

I know it's just my poor paint prep and inexperience that caused this - I need to get good, but until then, it's going to cost me for the quality I'm looking to achieve, with the skills I have :) The good front tire. https://i.imgur.com/Bc8eJ7c.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/wwFxLgB.jpeg Thursday is when ...

The 1982 Tamiya Super Champ, official video. Mj-BtNJDtEI No one is certain why the name had to change from Super Champ, to Fighting Buggy, but Fender made an amplifier called the Super Champ around that same time period, and Fender still uses that name on products. https://medias.audiofanzine.com/im...

Thanks for the encouragement! Hoping to see one of your builds too, when you get to it. The one tool that makes every project easier, and turn out better as a direct result, is a lighted magnifier headset - imo. It's the most used tool out of any I own, would buy another today if mine got lost or br...

the '85 Frog came with those Tamiya black balloons, to seal the MSC and Futaba battery pack, but I tore both balloons on installation, and my water proofing was also compromised.

So stoked they reissued these metal classics, had to get them while they're still affordable, relatively.

... With a lighted magnification headset, no flaws can hide, which is why I'm constantly redoing things, can better see how bad things really are 8) Ah HA, there's your problem! A "lighted magnifier headset". Flaws don't exist if you can't see them so do yourself a favor and get rid of th...

Got the second and final TS-15 Blue layer sprayed on. https://i.imgur.com/RY8IucC.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/RQr2hFx.jpeg Going to wet sand this final coat with a 3500 grit sponge once it's fully cured, then paint the side grills with X-11 Chrome/Silver. This will also have TS-13 Clear coats that will...

Re-painted the stripes, and one of the hood stripes still wasn't right. Had to mask it again, and will paint it today. https://i.imgur.com/jAGvIpW.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9qyA8jt.jpeg Going to have to mask this a third time, after this second one, in order to touch up some of the TS-10 French Blue ...
