Small Scale Military Headquarters

Sorry for the delay in this reply. My computer got a terrible virus and i wasn't able to get it fixed till today. Thos integral mating collars look good, but if it messes with the outer surface, then i'd say go with the previous version that worked. And the internal structure looks great, but if it ...

Incredible. Those fins really look the business. Well done. They are amazing.

Hmmmm.
Well in that case, can you do the print in a cooling jacket in a cold room, or set up some household cooling fans blowing cold air onto it?

Hmmm... Is it possible to "pause" the print halfway through to allow the piece to cool a bit?

Incredible.
That's looking a lot better! Well done there.

The pics make it look a lot better, and the detail seems more pronounced.
Looking forward to more info my friend!

Okay. Thanks for the reply.
I have been trying to find some of these for customs.
Anyone else seen them at local stores for $15 or thereabouts?

Aww, man... Good job.
Did the store have more at that price???

Very nice. It makes a lot more sense to put the locating tabs on the main hull.
Good thinking!

I think the question here is what was your post all about? A 1/18 thread for the HO-229 isn't a place for 1/32 accessories...
Did you post in the wrong thread?

Very nice. Would anyone be interested in an A-10 as a vacform?
It would be a lot cheaper than a resin kit that's for sure.

Damn. I was excited there for a few posts...
Might be quicker to scratch build them myself...

I have been forgetting to update here... I have been working on the paintwork. I got a bit more done today. I have dialled up the panelling grime. Don't panic with the first image of the exterior... The idea was to make it really thick and then dial it down again with more misted white. The inside h...

Great results can also be had from the Bare Metal Foil co scribing tool. It's very similar except the head is reinforced. I have had three in my time, but since they reinforced the head, the design is perfect and i can't imagine ever needing to replace this one. I have used mine on many model projec...

I wonder if we are any closer to this. Anyone heard anything?
I would love to get this racer as a kit. I want to build a few funky JTR salt flat racers and this would be perfect with big 4WD wheels on it.

Beautiful. I am loving the instructions. Decent instructions make a good kit into a GREAT kit.
Bravo.

Here is today's progress. I added the sheet to cover the previous screw holes and painted all parts first black then white. The white will be gently sanded eventually for areas of wear, going to the black undercoat, with metal colour underneath that. That will be later. For now, here are pics of tod...

Holy **** :shock: This is incredible Bar! Do you build props for Sci-fi movies? And in 4 weeks to boot, serious awesome Worth the long wait for the pics to download, the pics of the process just makes it even more impressive, draws you in and won't let go, like you're somehow witnessing a piece of ...

Okay guys. Got a bit done today. I stripped the Arvus again, and removed the lighting circuits. I needed to add about 12cm of cable to the dashboard light(It was a bit of a tight fit, which was one of the reasons for the test fitting. To make sure it all fit in). With that done, i dremelled out a co...

Wow Bar, seriously. For scratch builders in Sci-Fi like myself, this is really inspiring work. Thanks. I always just build what i enjoy building. That's how i keep my enthusiasm in it! I really don't know much about those Ma.K things. I've seen them, and I'm tempted to buy some, but just never pull...

i thought thats what they were. thanks for the info. No worries. It's no problem. I tend to use Ma.K figures for most builds, and as i tend to always build flying craft, i use the Falke pilot as the pilot in everything. Still a WIP, but here's my Anti Grav Jetbike with a Falke pilot(Made from a sha...

They are Brickworks figures from Japan. You can do a search. Or search Ebay for "SF3D figure", "Ma.K resin" or "1/20 resin figure".

Wow!!! I'm not worthy of even looking at this build!! Amazing work!!!! 8-) Thanks a lot. I am not doing anything you couldn't do if you tried really hard! :D This build has been SO much fun. That's why i have built it so fast. It's been like a race. I want to see the final item finished! Great proj...
