I've had folks ask what I do with bases. If they are on a paved area, I usually just color the base that way and leave it. The pit area is a good place for this as it allows me to move folks around for maintenance, cleaning, boredom, etc. I've also done what Harry has shown using a clear base - I ha...

Mark - I've seen that method before. Awesome results, but way over my time and skill level lol!

I'm having an odd sense I've seen this before...

Great movie and a fun day!

Those are simply lovely!

Thanks! I'll go check it out!

Glad to see all the interest and I've emailed out quite a few. Hope they all work well for you!

I have printed two of the Birdcages as tests. Both have the glass on which is very easy to remove, but I just changed one to remove the glass and not print it at all. I haven't tried it yet.

I've been working with 3D models since late 2005 as the basis for a good number of my RMS Resins offerings. Using a 3D printed body directly as a car is very odd for me after years of resin work. It is a completely different feeling doing this on an FDM printed body than the SLS ones I'd been using....

It is tiny!

Steve - funny, cuz I'd ordered my aluminum extruder on Thursday as I had my filament get hung up on the "new" part I'd made. Figit spinner in the house, as soon as I can get it up and running again, I'll be making the parts to guide the filament too.

Just this week, Harry and I were talking about older cars that are not known for working well out of the box, and simply getting a newer version that runs better. Case in point: the Lola T70's and M6 McLaren's from ThunderSlots being discussed. I've had a pile of T70's and M6's from Revell/Monogram ...

Slothead - the parts are: Tires: PGT 21126XD Tires Guide: SC-1603 Universal guide from Slot Car Corner I also used wire and braid I had in my box from SCC leftover from other projects. http://rmsresins.com/tuning/t70/parts.jpg I will say you can (and should!) true wheels and tires even without a mac...

Chris, Thanks for showing such an in-depth guide to these cars. That is the bees knees, but probably a little more than I want to do. I'm sure it would kick the heck out of what I've done.

I believe that is Chris Agee - he's been using the guy I started working with on Shapeways and is having him upscale all sorts of stuff and is back casting it.

1) Scaling - For figures, 54mm is about spot on for a guy. I use 54 for the men, and between 49-52 for the ladies and smaller yet for kids. 2) Adhesion - If using a glass bed or mirror, Aquanet. However, lately, I've started using blue painters tape on my mirror. Why? I haven't had to change it and ...
