I'm going to have to drop out of the running.
Things have gotten crazy busy at work lately, and I'm going to be spending a lot of time there for a while.

On the upside of that though, I have a new 3D printer at work to have fun with.

Alright!! Some progress!

Here's a couple of pics I had from the first go round as well.

I'm up for just keeping it going.

Gotta' see how this turns out.

It wouldn't bother me to skip out. I understand time is running out.

But let's see some pics!!

I must say, I really like the way that is turning out!!

Looking good!!!
Great work on the engine detail.

(But, I think you put the Transcanubulator valve in backwards. )

The way things are going, it could turn out to be a large scale fighter of some type.....or a small scale star destroyer type. Neat!!

That definitely looks like a workable design.

Can't wait to see what it will look like in the end.

Yep, the anticipation is driving me crazy.

Apparently my new computer has been blocking the PM notifications.
And I haven't even thought to look and see if there were any there.

Time to change the settings.

Ok, I'm caught up now.



Looks like a plan to me!

WOOHOO!!

Thanks gang!!

Any room for another in Tulsa, OK?

I did this last time, and haven't done much modeling since then.
Could definitely restart the building mojo!

Is it too late to get into this?

I remember doing it last time, it was a lot of fun.

I'm using XP/IE8.

Others using the same can't see the photos.

Weird!!!

Ever find out what the problem was/is?
I had no problem seeing the pictures.

Great model by the way!!

Ping Pong balls come to mind.

[/quote]Yeah, that's made by Bondo. I don't have a problem with it shrinking, but my problem is that it dries so friggin' fast and I don't know how to ger rid of the pockets of air.when I use a spreader to smooth of the excess, there's allways too mouch that winds up coming up. -Shawn :smoke:[/quote...

You could go with the HIS which is high impact styrene, or you could go with GP which is general purpose styrene. The general purpose styrene should be more than sufficient for what you need. Unless of course you plan on slamming your finished model against the wall, then I would go with the high im...

Yep, it'll work just fine. Used it many times myself.

You should be able to use your circular saw. I would put a fine tooth plywood blade in though.

I use apple barrel paints for all my models now. Have been for several years now. When airbrushing with them I use windshield washer fluid with good results. Occasionally, I use future, but the washer fluid works well. Most of the time I use a 50/50 mixture, but some colors seem to need to be thinne...
