I can't access most of the links either.

What you said makes no sense. Suspend the parts???

Watching all of the video about two part molds will help. Smooth-on has a youtube channel as do others.

Rubber is standing by!

#2: UMM-USA scribing tool. That scriber just got onto my wanted list! http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_105&products_id=474&osCsid=nih01edqvg7ir1427eq59c4gv7 One of these is now winging its way to me. I'm a sucker for new scribing tools. :D The UMM saw I have is the b...

I use that for Tamiya Acrylics as well so I have a bottle of it here. I'll give it a shot (pun intended). Thanks

I was talking to a few folks over the Wonderfest weekend about using Citadel gaming paints. My question is what do you thin them with to airbrush them? The guy at the store said to use water but I don't like the sounds of it. I think it would take too long to dry. Does anyone have any experience wit...

I opened the box I have my project stored in. I might make a push to finish before Wonderfest.

Of course WF is crunch time for the business so I may get noting else done!

Spray on Vinyl vs Mr. Surfacer spray, on vinyl... That's what I read it as... was I wrong again? :shock: The PDF from the website...... http://www.rustoleumibg.com/images/tds/CBG_TDS%20SPECIALTY%20VINYL%20Spray%20309%20Final.pdf "A permanent, flexible coating to restore the color on vinyl, sim...

Same here.

I have a band saw I use all the time. I also have a scroll saw that lives under my bench and I have not used in years.

Albion Alloys is another thought.

Wow! I just saw their add in FSM and was going to check their website out. Amazing products. I can't wait to get some stock on that stuff for projects. I want one pack of everything!

Tamiya Tape gets my vote too. For really big jobs I use the Blue 3M painters tape.

I use SC-305 and 300 primarily. If I mix 500ml of resin I will three or four drops of tint only. I usually do gray (black tint) for garage kits and what ever colour the customer asks when I am doing prototyping jobs. I make mine gray for the sole purpose of the builder. I hate white castings because...

Is it the Enzo Ferrari?

Don't listen to those guys..... Clean is mean!

Oh man.... Don't tempt him to use a tank hull on purpose!

Their good for palm hair removal too?

Nope.

I am swamped with work for Wonderfest so it got boxed and shelved until further notice.

Having almost exclusivly built AFVs I can't help but feel somewhat disadvantaged by the no tank models rule. :cry: I have a ton of greeblies though, I'll see what I can cook up. No more restricted than i am. Try going to another material. A block of balsa or modeling board to bulk out the dase shap...

OK, the Cat/Buttered Toast is truly inspired. Why, thank you sir ! High praise, indeed :D Took me quite a while before that idea materialized. The cat is actually supported on a clear pc. of sprue...looks like it's floating ;-) Slacker! You should have cast it in a sphere of clear resin. :ptl:

Gagh!

I better run the band saw tomorrow and do some cutting I suppose. Maybe some angle sanding too.

well, it seems to have been my mission in life to try to counter these air force claims. SNIP! Only infantry and supported armor can take and hold ground. The air force can deny it and make it tough for them, but you don't own it, nor can you win their hearts and minds, till you put an 18 year old ...

I split this and made you your own topic.

Oh come on Sean.. lets see a the tank from the ORIGINAL Battlezone.. the one made out of straightened coathangers from the Arcade game version http://www.classicarcadeonline.com/battlezone_2front.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Atari_BattleZone_Screenshot.png That design is wicked...

I'm just saying "hypervelocity" AND "steerable" is quite the engineering feat.

It's being done today so why not int he future?

OK, now that's just a bit of overkill, dontchathink?

Overkilled is better then NOT killed.

I have still not had any time to do any work on mine. Maybe next week.

I need to finish a P-51D as a gift before anything else.

Then the Thunder Fighter pattern....

The the next round of molds for customers....

Og and what about the FDL-6's and Rocketship Friede...

:) Good point but no matter what power source is used it will run out sooner or later,the thought of radioactive materials and other volatile fuel sources on a tank concerns me so i decided having boiling water spray all over the crew would be more exceptible :D My Zero Point Energy Module will tap...

Beauty! So different from what I imagine a tank looking like. I love it!
