oh yeah that's a good suggestion!

i wonder if they could rig something up for a helicopter build...

Before I really got into it, I had a couple of things printed in WSF and they do NOT clean up nicely for masters. Good for small one-offs if you just want some army builders, so to speak. Now I always go with FUD. Hands down the best they offer. My Gozanti (350+2256), Dreadnaught (4222+10k), ISD Dom...

I'm thinking to keep the gloss. I'm planning on some P-51D's and want to do some preshading while maintaining a "metallic" topcoat...

Rad.

Does it get a little glossy, too?

Do Tamiya acrylics mix well with Future? I want to add a little extra gloss to some thinned down chrome silver but am curious if it's even worth experimenting with if someone has already tried this...

DLM's new flasher circuit will fit it pretty well...it's not "leftovers" but it's a good board...

It's a good idea to read through their design guidelines for each material, too. Knowing the limits of a design for any final output medium is essential.

White strong and flexible is not good for masters. It is very difficult to sand the resolution lines down. They do offer a polished version, but again it's very hard to work with it. It's also not as detailed as you might want to get for masters. Frosted Ultra Detail is the way to go IMHO.

I hope he hasn't been working on it for months! Seriously, this took me maybe 3 or 4 hours combined...tops!

I'm treating it as a stand alone. Strange model though...I suppose if you did build a quarter scale R/C Bf110 it would work...

OMG! THAT'S totally what I forgot to do today!!! This thing actually didn't take *all-day*...

Hooray!! I finally beat the one-day build challenge! I circled and circled on a subject and finally came to Eduard’s 1/4 Bf110C Instrument Panel. A few months back I picked up the Royal Class Bf110 pack and this was included. Since the initial release the dashboard has actually been packaged as its ...

But remember to keep it black and white and use the parallel projection view. That way any perspective effects will be negated.

Shapeways (haters gonna hate) offers an "image extruder" process. Basically it can take a black and white image and print it to whatever your specs are. Material choice might be limited...but worth some research.

Way to go guys! Ed, you have a PM!

It takes balls to do a kitbash in a day.

What a lovely little bird!!! Way to go on the challenge!!!

Acceptable. Although I'm not sure what we'll do if you're the only entry. Hmmm....

Eh, I'd say close enough. A+ for effort on the 24 hr push.
I like those highlights though, if you were to do a really light overcoat it might cinch them up perfectly.

good work!

Yes, I'll be screwing it to the base. In fact, it's screwed in right now but I'd like to finish up the model before finishing the base. Eventually there will be a hole cut out for a 9V...I'm even thinking about adding a few Death Star panels or something. But that wouldn't be consistant with the shi...

You got it.

This is the 6" version on my AMT Star Destroyer. It's study as heck. I wish I could have found a more streamlined/slim one at the same length though.

Yup, another month! I'll definitely make time...but I'm just trying to finish up my Errant Venture for the SMA contest. If I get it done before the 30th I'll take a "break" with a 1-day for sure.

Yup. Panavise is it. I'll be getting a nice one for my ISD now. Thanks guys!

Oh awesome. That's the ticket. Thanks dude. I've got a PM out to Moff Eaton himself with the same questions...

no I need something a little more heavy duty for my star destroyer

So I've seen a number of builds that utilize a ball-jointed mounting system...
