Any model builders here?

Excellent builds, AG!

I was a builder as a youth. Now I'm a kit hoarder. Hope to be a builder again someday .

I have more unbuilt kits than I’ll ever get around to building, so I guess I’m a hoarder too!

Here is my mustang

Fabulous! I have that kit in my stash, just haven’t taken it out to build it yet. Currently I have several that are in the works that I need to finish. But knowing me when I start modeling again I will probably start somethkng new….I just picked up the new 007 71 Mustang and noticed it has the correct hubcap to build an Eleanor from the original 1974 version of “Gone in Sixty Seconds”!

Cool. When your smoke detector alarms, I guess it sounds like a Stuka siren. (The Luftwaffe added sirens to the dive bombers to inflict even more fear on their victims.)

Here is my current project. I'm 3d printing the shuttle craft from mini series V

Very cool. Got a resin printer a couple months ago, working on cleaning up my hobby room to make room to get it set up.

Also a Mars 2, with the washing/uv station as well.

I like what you're showing... especially the detail on the carbs. My goal was to use it primarily for model parts/conversions...and the peeps I know that print (all filament guys) doubted that I'd get the resolution needed for 1/25. Your stuff looks great!

Did you print the Mickey Thompson's too...also a goal, but off road tires (Swampers, Hawgs, Mudders, Buckshots...all the old school greats ).

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

cool stuff guys. Thanks for sharing your printing knowledge.

Retired now, but since 1990 I designed, manufactured and sold my own range of etched brass or resin model train and vehicle kits. Here's some pics showing my 1:43 scale NGG16 Garratt 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotive.

Here's some more pics showing painted/finished NGG16 Garratt models.

[RustyGold]

Agreed... I'm not in any way a train guy...but those are jaw dropping!
