Re: Utility Truck

Looking good :) Are you going to mig weld everything and grind all the welds (pain in the *** IMO) or just tack with MIG and finish with soldering? I think is it faster and easier with so thin metals.

Re: Scratchbuild 1/10 KV-2

As far as I know, that is spring steel. If I twist it, it will always go back to straight. if it turns out too weak, I can tape two of them together and have double strenght :) And I can adjust...

Re: 5 ton brass/copper build

That looks so nice it makes me want to try too ;) Where do you copy the shape for all the parts like motors mounts and support brackets or do you just go by your head?

Re: How to: Scale and measure from a picture with ImageJ

What part of it do you think is complicated? Its really just a few clicks to set the scale (=proportion of how many pixels per certain length) and then you just measure. No need to calculate anything.
