The corrugator worked OK. Not perfectly, but a decent representation (I think). The hairspray did more of an unexpected crackle finish than a chipping finish. I ended up using a stiff paint brush and alcohol to rub through in some places, then some pastel scraped with an Xacto into matte...

I was looking to get my grandson a train set for Christmas so I did some research, and according to the Bachmann Trains catalog, the G stands for Garden since the trains are intended to be set up outdoors in gardens and yards and are made to withstand weather. I thought that was neato. This is a...

I keep going back and playing with the '79 Scout II. I made the dash and steering wheel finally. Honestly, it turned out FAR better than I hoped LOL. I will say I need a stronger computer now because this file is absolutely enormous. I will give it a command and may as well go make a sandwich! I...

I think I figured out my math problem and have a new die printing. Hopefully this will be more accurate. I made a bed the size of a 26" x 96 inch sheet of corrugated tin in 1/35 scale (somewhere around 20mmx 70mm+/- , I wrote down the exact sizes but don't have it in front of me) then added as...

Those were the numbers I used in my math. Math is not a strong suit of mine...

Well, it seems out of scale. I did the math and thought I scaled the corrugations to 1/35. The company that makes the corru-gator is temporarily stopping production and taking any new orders. I made this with my 3D printer.I put the aluminum in and squished it to shape Then I bent it around a...

This is what makes a master builder. Anything less than perfection just will not do. I see zero flaws. None what-so-ever, and my jaw will be picked up off the floor shortly..

Same here Padmeister! I can barely see 1/48 and that is with 10X magnifiers on. Watching and wowing :popcorn

I had based in black, but could never find what color primer was used on the real tractor. I went with German Dark Yellow primer, right or wrong. I then randomly painted Vallejo German Red Brown & Rust Texture to give two different colors of rust. I sealed that with Mr Hobby Super Clear Matte...

It could but probably won't LOL. That is NOT a quick fix. The letters took 10 minutes, the treads would take me over an hour!

Better?

Well I know nothing about trailers, including what T and P mean, so I googled Tires for Tandem Car Hauler" (maybe, I am not even sure what words I used) and these came up first and I though "Goodyear, that's a good brand I think". I can make variant tires so folks can choose what they want? The...

I also reduce the number of support posts by using one post and have mutiple attachment point clones from the one head instead of one post per attachment. It takes time but saves boatloads of resin.

I have a two part version as well.

Youtube is where I go even with stuff I already know just for a refresher. There are hundreds if how to's, includung the very basics all the way to the most complex. It is not an intuitive program and can be baffling at times. When get stuck, like "alright, that should have worked!" I open YT...

Yes, the car hauler needs at least a million supports! The jack insert is a separate piece so it can be adjustable, yes. I have printed it successfully but still have some tweaking to do to make the tie down "U's can be moveable. I have changed the design of the tire rims so that the wheels are...

I would also like to add a conopy to this model. Most images with a canopy show it covering the entire tractor including the motor. Would copper plate be a good material to use?

I love this model and how "real" the woman looks as far hips, the belly looks like there is real "girl stuff" inside, and the breasts are not ridiculous. She looks like a man's woman and not an adolescent boy's version of one. However, I can't display it LOL. I live in the bible belt and is the...

No, the directions are OK. Could be better, with a few mistakes like parts appearing in the drawing but no mention of it being applied, or part labeled B37 but it is on the "A" sprue...but I have seen worse. The difficulty is in the microscopic size of the parts and how extremely fragile they...

Thank you! She was really fun to paint.
