nonner242 Posted July 24 Posted July 24 I made a filter for phone camera to take possible better pics? Maybe? It's was made of clear tape and colored markers..a few layers of each built up..I think it kinda works..let me know..might try some darker blues and purples Quote

Urashiman Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 Haven‘t posted workbench stuff in a while. @HWR MKII awesome man! @nonner242 that is some great work. @electric indigo looking good! Here is what I am doing. The kid and I saw folks building mini drift RC cars from Hotwheels on YouTube. So I am having a take on that as well. I designed a chassis and 3D printed it on my wife’s FDM printer. Mini Fig for size comparison. Still needs some adjustments here and there in CAD and then I will work on the engine mount. Need to figure out something for the steering, as the rod there (made from a paper clip), is shifting around horizontally. Quote

MechTech Posted July 30 Posted July 30 @nonner242 I think your filter did the trick! Though it is VERY blue. Maybe adjust the colors in Photoshop or other software? @electric indigo That Labor is looking COOL! @HWR MKII NICE paint! @Urashiman OK, you get BONUS point for COOLNESS AND engineering! That is AWESOME! You better post a video 😁 - MT Quote

nonner242 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) Welp..I think I found my colors for the Matchbox SDF1/DYRL merge I'm slowly doing due to crappy weather and work. So I got a few parts painted over weekend. I REALLY dig the blue so far in person. I also don't think I'm gonna decal or sticker it when done. Maybe just paint the red stripes and weather it? I also dig the painted finish by far over the original plastic more than I thought I would..looks and feels premium😆 Edited July 30 by nonner242 Quote

Thom Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Like your color choices there @nonner242. And is that the Car?! Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Nice job, @nonner242!! As for me: got back to work on Reliant: But the decals suck major lemons: They're way too rounded, look like crap and in many cases do not resemble the movie markings. My printer is down, so I tried pricing stuff online and my eyeballs nearly popped out of my skull. also considered asking R2 about their newest decal sheets for this, but their prices and shipping are about the same as trying for the others. So, this us is pretty much finished and is going into storage along with the Leader-1 kit, the B-wing and a couple of others. I cannot afford any further stress, and this was beginning to aggravate me badly (upon medical advice after my latest seizure). Just going to watch everyone else for a while; at least you guys can finish projects (unlike me). Quote

I'm kinda in that place to on the having issues with life and with hobby. I have about 4 projects going in various stages and some will be shelved for a bit too due to a array of issues till a later date. Yes if it's affecting your health by all means do what's good for you. Stress is a scary thing and hits everyone differently. So take it easy..the shots not going anywhere. Maybe start a season of something you never watched or do something that makes you happy. I always revert back to drawing..lol Mechs and random crap of course 😆 Hours can go by if I'm brainstorming and puts me in a good state. Plus it's fun to make stuff up just cuz why not... Quote
Thom Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Hey @pengbuzz sorry things are getting too stressed. Models can wait where stress cannot, so take it easy. You know what is best for you. @nonner242 has a good idea, basically change tack and do something else you like for a while. You do some pretty good photo compositing, putting models in space, so maybe hit that for a while? As for @nonner242 those are some pretty cool drawings! Quote

That happns when Ive had a seizure ad takes a while t resolve itself. hasnt happened in anwhile, so kind f jarring for flks. btw: anyone have any 1 537 decals they don't nee? lol Edited July 31 by pengbuzz Quote

As to decals, don't have any spares, unfortunately. Is the only problem the shape of the letters/numbers? If so, they look alright to me. They do look a little different, but not too much, IMO. Just as reference, here's a pic of the filming model. Quote

Take it easy for a bit, and maybe when you get back to things, maybe a simple kit will help get you through. Personally, I find Bandai is usually good for stress relief kits. Not major work needed and easy to build. Quote
Chas Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Hey Pengbuz, The only decals I have are from an original Boxing of the kit, so basically the same as what you have. I do however have A4 clear decal paper, clear acrylic sealer, afunctioning printer, envelopes and stamps. No problem to print some decals up for you if you send me the files. On the main site here: https://www.starshipmodeler.com/tech/cz_mask.htm There is a download able set of pretty decent Aztecs for the old kit. I could print those off for you, but if it's marking details you're after I'd need the files. Don't want to add any stress ( I understand that too many options can become stressful for some folks)- it's just an offer and there's no rush to decide. Take care. Quote
MechTech Posted August 2 Posted August 2 @nonner242 The colors look great on the SDF-1. I also noticed the Orguss Nickick - cool! @pengbuzz WOW! I'm sorry to hear about all the neurology issues. I'm praying for ya' man! - MT Quote
