Re: 1/10 Caterpillar D8T Build (3D Printed)

I normally print at a 0.25mm layer height but I have printed a couple of prints at...

Re: 1/10 Caterpillar D8T Build (3D Printed)
At first glance I thought those were resin printed parts, and thought that you'd gotten a resin printer. Then I zoomed in on them and saw the layer lines from a filament printer. That's some damned...

Re: A REALLY small RC tractor-trailer

Re: A REALLY small RC tractor-trailer
I don't know about that, a working dump trailer in HO deserves some respect.
And kerst's 1/24 Liebherr impresses me, that thing's got a LOT goin' on in there.

Re: A REALLY small RC tractor-trailer
I later figured I may have made the title a little too cryptic. The General Discussion forum is for off topic stuff, watch making would definitely fit as OT.
Besides, the video is on topic for...

A REALLY small RC tractor-trailer
I posted this in General Discussion forum under a probably too cryptic name, and it's gotten NO views yet. So let's try this again with a better description, give it a look.
1/150 scale RC...

If it's your shovel, and the paint job looks right to you, that's all that counts... Isn't it?

Re: I got a new idea....
Not bad for something made from stuff laying around. Now all you need is a scale HE111 pinned in the searchlight beam. (Or maybe make your own Bat signal?)

Re: I got a new idea....
You going to have the LED so that it shines back into the reflector like on the original? Or just mount the LED on the back surface of the light so it shines out?

Re: Reefer Trailer
It looks like a similar technique to what Karl Fischer used on his interior panels. He used a a bead roller. He's got a video about it on YouTube, look for "Make It Kustom". Same idea, just a...

Re: Liebherr LTM 1055 S-4 in scale 1/24
Sta-Brite SBSK silver bearing solder, now I'm beginning to understand why you didn't have problems with the zinc burning off from the galvanizing. SBSK is a silver bearing soft solder, it melts at...

Re: Liebherr LTM 1055 S-4 in scale 1/24
I believe that earlier you said that you were using 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal to form to parts of the boom sections. Since you silver soldered these parts, I've got a few questions:
1) How...
