Re: RC Benchy

My back yard is a park. That park is next to what I think used to be a mill pond of some sort on the river. So yeah - I got a place to try it out. I used to run my Seaport/Harbor tug conversion...

Re: RC Benchy

Don't know yet, I don't want too much speed, he is a heavily armed TUGBOAT after all. He's got more of a high speed prop now. I'm pretty sure it's not what...

Re: Cockshutt 70 tractor (1935-48)

That Cockshutt must have one HELLUVA exhaust leak. Every time I forgot to take the can off the muffler of a tractor, it got blown off when the engine fired up.

Re: RC Benchy

Re: 3D Printer files for Bodies

I don't know if this counts, but I'm currently working on the 3D model for "Big Red". This was Ford's gas turbine concept truck built for the 1964 World's Fair. Big Red was given coast to coast...

Cool lace!

I haven't seen that done since my 59' VW bus back in the mid 70's.

Re: Build an Excavator from Scratch

I was going to ask how you were cutting your parts, then I saw your saw. You've got some fairly tight curves that you appear to be cutting. What are you using for a blade on that saw?

Re: Yale Forklift - NewRay

In Bi-centennial Man, "Andrew" was just shipped in a big coffin sized wooden crate. (I think it was wooden, I seem to remember them prying it open in the movie.)

Presumably the crate had the...

Re: RC Benchy

I could just drill it out, but I want the U-joint, just in case there are any alignment issues.

I just got the e-mail that the u-joint will be waiting for me when I get home. (It wasn't on a slow...

Benchy's temporarily on the back burner while I wait for parts to arrive.

You know, the unimportant stuff like the motor. an ESC, the prop-shaft and bearings, the prop, more servos - little stuff...

Re: RC Benchy

Mario's surgery was done the old fashioned way, with saw and filler. I just amputated his arm at the elbow and then reattached it. I think it turned out OK. Here's a couple of views of the...

Re: RC Benchy

Mario is out of surgery and recovering nicely. His time under the knife wasn't too drastic. I just bent his arm a little, and twisted it a bit. Just enough so that he doesn't look quite so much...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

Yup, I've got most of a roll of "Iron Red" to use up. And then an unopened roll of "True Yellow" that I'll have to use for something.

You gotta wonder who comes up with these names. And if they...

Re: 3D Printer files for Bodies
