Thanks guys! This is one that has almost gotten built several times over the last few years, but just never happened, so happy to finally get this one going. So far I'm working on the body, getting the mold lines taken care of, and then I'll put down some primer to see how good a job I did...

Marder IIIM Looking good so far! I built Dragon's command version of the Marder III a few years ago, the Befehlsjager, and it makes for a very nice vehicle.

Tamiya 1/24 JACCS Honda Accord, ran in the Japanese Touring Car Championship in the mid 90's. A group I'm a member of on Facebook is doing a Touring Car group build, so I figured I'd join with this one, and since we had the racing GB here, I felt it was worth posting it here as well. Kit is a...

Very sorry Bob. Our pets definitely become a very large part of the family, and it's so hard when you loose one.

The Expendables!! Impressive work so far!

This thing requires the work for sure. Looks like the molds were getting long in the tooth when this one was made, the seams are pretty heavy, along w/ flashing in places.

Not a lot to show, but I have been able to make a little bit of progress. Very first thing I did, was strip the chrome off the parts tree. I hate factory chrome, and half the chrome probably would have been scraped out sanded off anyway, just due to the amount of flashing & heavy mold seams on...

Let me tell you, it has been an absolute blast to play around with, and I haven't even gotten real serious with it yet. Still working on figuring it out and trying to figure out how to improve the printer.

Thankfully now that I've had a couple of months to play with it, and have used almost a full spool of filament, I've managed to work out most of the bugs and have started getting pretty consistent prints out of it. For adhesion to the print bed, I started out early using blue painters tape...

So my birthday was at the end of May, and my mom surprised me with a 3D Printer kit. I have to say that I've been having an absolute blast with this thing. It's definitely be very frustrating at times, but overall it's been very enjoyable working with it, and watching it make the parts. The...

Love all the tiny details Bob!

Start pic's for my Hot Wheels Camaro build. At this point I'm assuming a box stock build, including decals, but that could change if I start feeling adventurous, lol. Will also be a bit of a memory lane build, I built this same kit when I was about 16, and have wanted to redo it for a long...

'A Day at the Races' - Jus' throwin' it out there Nice. I've looked at some of the Slixx sheets for this kit. My plan is to go w/ the kit decals since that's what I used the first time I built it, I just hope they don't shatter on me when it's time to apply them. I plan on spraying them w/ some...

'A Day at the Races' - Jus' throwin' it out there I think I can get in on this one. I have this kit: to do this car. I built this kit when I was about 16 and have been wanting to do it again for a long time. Still have the first one and it's actually in pretty decent shape still, but...

Congrats Mike!

LOL, yea, I could see where something like that could possibly cause some issues. Weight was always my biggest concern w/ trying to machine it out of aluminum, I knew it could be a problem, and I've tried thinking of ways to counter it. One option would be to bore out the lower barrel as much...

True, hadn't considered the difficulties of getting paint to stick to the delrin. My plan had been to make it 2 pieces, so that would help some w/ the overall size, but it would still be sizable. The breach portion is about 13 3/8" long and the muzzle end is just over 14" long. My biggest...

Great work! A friend of mine has this kit, and he had done some research, and came to the same conclusion, that the kit barrel was too long. He gave me dimensions for making a new barrel for him, and I had originally intended on machining a new barrel for him out of aluminum, but lost access to...
