TOPIC:

As you know i've been messing about with 3D files and HIPS filament.  Today I found some time to sit and finally "glue" it together.

Started off putting some of the 6 parts together to give them a bit more strength. Using some of the rafts from the prints as tabs to hold them together. 

Front first, then I attached it to the front doors, no pic though, I forgot.




Rear bed and tailgate




Then I attached the cab onto the front end




Finally all put together. It needs some gaps filling and a bit of tidying up before its gets a coat of primer but it looks good and feels fairly strong for a 3d print.  




After many failed attempts, the first of 5 screw trays for a small slide drawer unit that will fit in my spares box and house all of my RC screws [hopefully]
I have 4 more trays to print and the housing.  Hoping it all prints out ok.



That's it for now, work has been doing my head in and put me in a mood where I didn't want to do anything. Felt better today so I actually did something

Nice work...

In the meantime, the mistery machine went to the beach again at sunset time... 
 

I had to take that picture 

Be careful of that sand getting in places you don't want it. Great pic ST 

True for the sand, it can go everywhere. That said, I'm less worried about this with rigid axles cars than with other cars, as it participate to the protection...  Principle 1: those cars are made for this (my Kyosho won't go there). Principle 2: deep cleaning at the end of vacations. 

Wahoo lee top econoline. I love itMarc this pict is awesome. You need a surf on it

Really? Why? Being modern made up, non-infringing versions of sponsor logos, and a vey incomplete set at that, don't they typify the phrase "nothing special"? 

Not trying to start something, I'm just curious

If you want genuine sponsor decals I'd look at the SRB "B" sheet (mciracing.ca/pr...t-b-decals), though I think for the black bodywork a full John Player Special livery (mciracing.ca/pr...ial-decals) would suit better ;) 

Yeh whilst being 'fake' sponsors, they are the original decals that came with the car, granted not quite applied as per the box.  I still have the rest of the decal sheet, that are yet to be applied.  Plan is have some fun with the car, until I get a couple of cheapish runabouts for the kids.  And I have the M-05 NSU TT to build
The Super Hornet was my first (proper) RC car.  So also a bit of sentimentality i guess.

Technically, it was yesterday, but I mounted the video today


A head strap to mount the gopro is a must to capture rc cars while driving one... That works perfectly.

Awesome. I have to out my sj4000

Another day, this time with the Hornet, while the sea has not peaked yet... As a result, it is more off-road and bumpy, but remain manageable...
