Re: First attempt with 3D scanning

Re: Ed's Jaguar - Completed

G'day Ed,

Great pics and run down of the build. It's really nice to see my parts on a completed model, and those spoked wheels are my little pride-and-joy and look like they came out very nicely (if I do way so myself!), and of course big thumbs up to the installer and painter!! :D

The colour ...

Re: Yes it has been quiet here!

Yep.. I played a game of tag and lost that round!!! Am starting to feel a lot better and energetic. Would have been a bit better a bit sooner but as the snake was wrongly identified initially (my fault, and it was on dusk, and I didn't even think it was a snake anyway), then the treatment slightly ...

Re: Hello there...

Completed Builds - A couple of guidelines

Thought I would put a little post here as I know some builds of the Jag are coming to a completion (Ed reminded me to set this up as well!), but in addition to full builds being placed here, I am also happy for completed sub-assemblies where suitable (eg: assemblies that could be displayed on their ...

Re: Ed's Jaguar

Wow mate, that's coming up great. So nice to see the fan in there. Still a real head-scratcher why they left that off. :D Really liking the details!!

Re: Transparent UV resin: Your feedback.

G'day Gilles & Ed,

Interesting topic as resins seem to be a love 'em or hate 'em type of process.

It does take a fair amount of practice to get perfect results most of the time, but so many factors can ruin what you think will be perfect.

That said, to address the UV resins specifically, I too ...

Re: Workshop machines 1/9 total scratch

This is amazing stuff!! Great use of ''other things'' like the can to make a barrel, and the little cylinders for the welding set up.

That drill press looks real!!

New Part - Registration / Number Plates

G'day All,

Thought I'd kick this off with a small part I've been tinkering with in my (not so) spare time.

This had to be done, new registration plates.

The font has been faithfully recreated in 3D to match the one used in the 1960's era United Kingdom.

It features all letters and numbers, in a ...

Re: "Thar be Wheels"

Looking good Ed. Like seeing my babies come to life!

Nice to see them painted up. The paint has come up very nice as well. Did that take a few coats to achieve, primed in black, or some different method.

As I say, I never get to build but I'm interested in how the results are achieved.
