Any model builders here?

I didn’t print those Mickey Thompson’s. I’m still figuring out how to print a complete undistorted tire. For now I print them in halves. Which is ok then I can adjust the width

Have you tried any of the flexible rubber-like resins yet?

No not yet. I have used some glow in the dark filament

Very cool!

Thanks. Here's a few more pics.

Still do the odd bit of military/armour modelling just to keep my hand in with the painting/weathering techniques.

The Activision characters with the cartridge are a great idea. What a nostalgia blast. What about that Frostbite dude and the bear? Too cool. My wife made me a bunch of pixeley Mario magnets, super fun stuff, very popular when displayed in the office

McP...I see where your attention to detail on your bikes come from now...amazing. I especially love the Mack truck...but that stubby locomotive and the tractor are amazing as well !

Thanks Rusty. I believe it's a 'something in the genes' thing. Obsessed with details even as a small child. Never went away....

Been building since I was 10 years old, I’m 64 now. 30+ years been building slot car drag cars. Here’s a small sample:

 

[Tallbikeman]

Ffestiniog Welsh Railroad steam locomotives. These steam locomotives were originally from South African 2ft guage railways. Beautiful models. Are they designed to run on O Guage track? I build RC model yachts for my racing hobby in the American Model Yacht Association classes. Below is a wood and carbon fiber 10 rater yacht being built. The captain is resting before supervising more construction.

Correct. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Garratts, as now running on the 2ft narrow gauge Ffestiniog / Welsh Highland Railway in Wales. These are 7mm/ft (1:43) O-scale models designed to run on either 14mm or 16.5mm gauge track depending on the customer's preference.

Pooch reckons that's a sleek looking hull you got underway. I have a feline shop foreman who keeps me right.

I’ve been working on custom 1/64 Hot Wheels, though I have a few 1/25 scale models waiting to be built. Here is a diorama that I made for a build off on Facebook.

Here’s another recent build. 54 Chevy gasser that started as a Lowrider.
