Re: How many of you can/will build a 1/18 resin model?

I plan on it. Almost done learning the software for CNC milling machines. They can make one in 10 minutes, I thought about selling as I have a USMC merc License and already do decals and Marks. We also have a 4 point 4D scanning box to replicate exactly any item that can ft into it, My 1st will be t...

Re: 3D Printed ALQ-144 Radar Jammer

[quote][/quote] I recommend using a CNC router. You can laser cut glass or something more flexible and spray it with reflective paint. I made something similar but CNC routers are very expensive. but you can rip out a whole model in 15 minutes, and that's just the molds. https://www.youtube.com/watc...

Re: 1:1 replica of a German AVF

Was it the Tiger I ? http://www.lineagotica1944.it/panzer-tiger-on-sale/ I correct myself.... A steel Tiger would be impossible to build. My guess is that this is aluminum. resin, and lacks many components for it to last. Way cool non the less but for that price you could buy a real Sherman, and fo...

Re: 1:1 replica of a German AVF

What kind Of AFV ? There were several . This would be way cool. They would be the German scout AFVs .... Halftracks.. armored cars .. A Tiger would be impossible, however a YAK-9 would not. CNCs that can do this are $100,000 but plan to burn through $1000,00 bits. I have all the Yak-9 schematics ex...

Re: 1:18 Scammers?

These scams buy merch and use your info to verify Paypal, sticking you with the credit hit, then sell said merch for real cheap. Someone needs to make a bot tht spams these sites with bogus info.

Re: 1:1 replica of a German AVF

Ok, well apparently it was not here. Russia is where you can get them, if you have the right friends, and cash. Buy a HAAS CNC, and you can build one. I've seen the jigs, but I do not have them

1:1 replica of a German AVF

I thought I saw a post here on people wanting to build a German scout AVF, but no plans. A call went out and the census is that they are not known to exist, and people use a Range Rover. and a Tamiya model ... I know where a complete set of all jigs are located, and vector drawings. They are not eas...
