Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Wanted to reply to your post on the 28th Don but I was at the Lafayette RC truck show this weekend and only had access to open public wifi and I don't like submitting passwords over those.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Don't you love it. Think you got one simple change to make and it cascades into an avalanche. Good thing this is a hobby, I'd hate to have to charge someone for the time involved in some of these...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Lord only knows what happened to the site this time. Was completely gone this time, not even any html code showing up when I tried to inspect the site. Glad to see it's back though and hoping it...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Yea, with the Sherline parting tools you need to keep the blade as short as possible. Because they are so thin they can be easily deflected. And that of course will lead to problems. The other...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Congrats on getting your process worked out. What I love about this hobby, educational opportunities just abound. Which Bruder are you going to convert first?

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

That's good to see. Little factoid to file away for future reference if I ever try to do the same.

I was using my cutoff tool in a QCTP for quite a while and always had issues with it. Given the...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Oh man, I feel your pain and aggravation. Morse taper and draw bolt is good when you want concentricity but a pain when you need length behind chuck. How were you cutting off the excess tube? ...

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

I fully understand. I've been working on a model of a 1950's Mack B-61 for over two years now. Lots of photos on internet as it is a fairly popular model for restorations. But dimensions, not so...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Ah, that makes sense. Looking at your parts they looked to be too smooth and shiny for fdm unless you post-processed the heck out of them and I couldn't see resin parts being strong enough for that...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Looking good, I like the axles. What kind of plastic are you printing those parts from? Nice thing about these machines is that you don't have to make some kind of suspension system for them.

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

Interesting frizzen. I never knew those early versions actually had two engines in them. I can just imagine what a nightmare the control linkage was.

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

Yes, thank god for the internet today. Makes research much easier. I spent months googling, binging and duckduckgoing searching for info on my Mack B model. Found an old factory data sheet that...

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

Now that is cool. Don't see many buses for some reason. Great detail your putting into it. Were you able to find some specifications or working from photos? Will be following closely.

Re: Cold blue for rust protection

I've always had pretty good luck with Brownells working on guns over the years. As you noted, it's pretty easy to use and does provide pretty good rust protection. It will never equal true hot...

Re: Gradall XL5100 V 1/14 Scale 3D Printed

That is really a great looking body, very nice work. That's the biggest problem with 3d printing is that it takes so much work and time to really get a nice finish. I think it takes more effort than...

Re: Gradall XL5100 V 1/14 Scale 3D Printed

Very cool build. I also am a big fan of the Gradall. Fascinating machines to watch in action. Used to drive by the factory where they are made all the time. Will be watching for updates.

Really glad to hear that the damage is not as bad as feared and that you will be able to get it fixed.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Always wondered how well those little tig machines could do brass. I use a lot of brass but have always silver soldered it. Have you ever tried it with aluminum? Happy holidays.
