Issue 226 is On Its Way
iamsuperdan replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Just hang tight. If you look through this thread, there are a lot of mail delays all over the US. -
New F1 movie. Anyone interested??
iamsuperdan replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We'll be going to see it for sure. -
Issue 226 is On Its Way
iamsuperdan replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Are you waiting for just the newest issue? Or have you not received an issue from your subscription at all? -
Hanging out in the yard. Luna is enjoying the warm weather. And the oatmeal coconut cookie just shared with her.

The weather is beautiful, and I was actually out in the driveway, wearing shorts, and spring cleaning the fleet. This is the '04 Aviator we bought for the boy last year. Not bad for $750 CDN.

My wife reminded me of Thunder Heart. He was really good in that one.

This one is pretty close. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/jeep-grand-cherokee-1977-body-for-print Combine with the Revell Jeep J10 Honcho pickup kit maybe?

What do you drive?
iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I know you're being facetious, but as a former dealer sales person and manager, I am confident that people would be shocked by the number of people I've dealt with over the years that had no idea they could order exactly what they want. Or the number of people that have been told by other dealers that factory ordering is "custom" and would have a custom order surcharge. Which is 100% baloney. And of course a lot of people that just absolutely cannot wait 8-10 weeks to get exactly what they want, so they settle for something that is available immediately. And part of that is the dealer's fault, because they would rather sell you something from stock and get it off the books immediately. They want to get paid immediately. As a sales person, I never cared about that. I was getting paid one way or the other, so might as well give the customer the experience and the vehicle they want. -
What do you drive?

You definitely have no need to upgrade your truck! A 2025 is really no better or different than your 2021. A few cosmetics things, a few options changes, but basically it would be the same truck. For more money! A lot of people are totally turned off by the 2.7 Ecoboost. I spent 3 years as Fleet Manager for a local dealer, and those things would just sit and sit. The only time they sold was during Covid when they were all that was left on dealer lots! It's too bad though, because they'll do everything that most truck owners want in a truck, and will save people a few grand in cost. -

How Do I Take Apart This Promo Model
iamsuperdan replied to obs.caleb's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Interior has a tab just under the rear window. Get a small screwdriver or something in there and gently pry the rear cab wall away from the interior tub. Once that pops out, it should be two tabs at the base of the windshield. I don't think they ever used glue on the promos. -
Removing Layering from 3D Printed Bodies.
iamsuperdan replied to Kayma367's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
So back to the OP, personally I would reprint that, and reduce the layer height. I use a layer height of .02mm. Takes about 8 hours to do a full body, but it comes out of the printer with minimal layer lines, so not much cleanup in that regard. This is a body that just finished printing yesterday. Elegoo Saturn 2 Pro using the Elegoo Water Washable resin and Chitubox slicer. Lots of cleanup, but no deep layer lines. Nothing that won't disappear completely with a little sanding. -
Where To Post A Diecast Kit?
iamsuperdan replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think if you're disassembling them and refinishing/customizing them, then that's no different than fixing a gluebomb or improving a promo. I'd say you can put it either in the Diecast section or the appropriate WIP or UG section. I doubt anyone would complain about that. Probably. If you're just showing an untouched diecast, then definitely in the Diecast section. -
Issue 226 is On Its Way

Arrived in yesterday's mail. Edmonton, AB, Canada. -
Totally forgot about a classic! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang That's worth your time for sure.

In The Flesh - a BBC show with a very different take on zombies. Should have lasted more than 2 seasons, and at the very least, should have been given a proper ending. Santa Clarita Diet - same as above. Two and a half seasons, never got the ending it deserved.

Knew it was coming, but still a surprise and a disappointment. Awesome actor. Real Genius Top Secret The Doors The Saint Tombstone And of course, both Top Gun movies. I thought his appearance in Top Gun Maverick was just perfection. Was awesome to see Tom insist on that scene. And in watching, you could tell it wasn't a scene between Maverick and Iceman, it was Tom and Val. So good.

Removing Layering from 3D Printed Bodies.
iamsuperdan replied to Kayma367's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Just make sure it has no striations. 🤪 -
Took this early this morning. We had ZERO snow on Wednesday evening. I hate fake spring. Then went for a drive. As I type this, it's still snowing. Keep in mind, on Wednesday, we had NO snow.

Chevy Wedge NASCAR transport
iamsuperdan replied to WillyBilly's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks great! Converting to the single rear axle definitely removes the weirdness from this kit.
