Re: Sherman 1/16
I know the cartoon was always "Kilroy was here", but one of those really needs to say "Kilroy is here".

Re: 1/10 caterpillar 140h motor grader 3d printed
I didn't realize that front beam was that thick, a piece of 3/4" ply glued in there will do wonders for its' strength.
I was thinking that the beam was thinner and maybe had a piece of aluminum...

Re: 1/10 caterpillar 140h motor grader 3d printed
It looks like you've got aluminum extrusions for the frame rails under the engine. Is there anything extra in the beam that supports the blade and the front wheels? Or did you print it with extra...

Re: Michigan T-24 project
The outriggers might not need to be powered, just pull out and crank down? But they definitely need to be functional and not just a pad resting on the ground. Otherwise things could get a little...

Re: VW Van 1/16
Oh man.... I gotta get me one of them.
That's what the first car I ever owned would have looked like when it was new. Not when I got it mind you, but when it was new. I got mine for $50 in 1974...

Re: Michigan T-24 project

Re: Michigan T-24 project
Fuel tubing is do-able as a spring, but it's a lot stiffer lengthwise than you might think. When I built the rotary valve for my dust collector I was using springs 3-4mm in diameter to keep the...

Re: Hand painted 1/16 figure
I know the feeling well, half the time even I can't read my own handwriting. Thank God for computers and printers.

Re: Hand painted 1/16 figure
I think that every article I've ever read about figure painting has mentioned the difficulty of getting the eyes "right".

Re: Hercules flatbed trailer with skids of drywall
Over on RC Groups a guy built a stand-off scale model of a JU-52, the German Tri-motor from the 30's with the corrugated skin. He used an inkjet printer and printed the corrugations on his covering...

Re: 1/10 Caterpillar D8T Build (3D Printed)
I can see I'm going to have to crack the whip on my printers and not accept any more shoddy work from them.
I normally print at a 0.25mm layer height but I have printed a couple of prints at...
