For my next build, I'm building from a white model then painting later so that won't be an issue, but in future printed builds i want to try a method I've seen spoken about a lot on these forums, which is basically to spray the printed parts in a clear lacquer or protective spray before building, as this allows wet glue to be wiped away with a damp cloth.

skupilkinson · 12-09-2007, 01:44 AM

I've heard that, I'll be trying that too.

Hey Nick,

Where did you get these holders?

jaffro · 12-09-2007, 03:33 PM

Do you mean the clips I use? I got them from what we call a "2 Dollar Shop" that just sells all sorts of junk... I've also seen them in various sizes in some hardware shops.

Yeah. Those black ones.

Here in Brazil we call them "1.99 Shop". However, they never give us the 0.01 change, so your name is better. Anyway, I never saw them in Brazil...

You know you get those days/nights when you see something and go, I wish I could build like that. This was one of them

superb.

jaffro · 12-11-2007, 04:49 PM

Thanks for the compliment, although if you could see my latest smudged mess you might reconsider...

And now, a newsbreak,

Disaster has struck!! This build thread is in danger of extinction. Up until now, all the pictures in this thread have been taken on my mobile phone, which I just happened to lose 2 days ago while riding a bike, something I haven't done for years. Well now it's something I never want to do again.

I loved that phone, mainly for it's camera (3.2MP sony cybershot). We have a sony camera and a canon camcorder, both of which take pics but neither of which can be hooked up to a PC due to missing cables so it'll be a while before I can post pics here again.

skupilkinson · 12-11-2007, 05:00 PM

Dude! School boy error! Zip up the pockets next time! LOL

Seriously, sorry to hear that buddy. I've lost phones before now in far more stupid ways! It's very furstrating to say the least.

Sorry we won't be seeing more of it for a while too.

MadProfessor · 12-12-2007, 04:42 PM

looks very good.

jaffro · 12-15-2007, 03:43 AM

Thanks...

Ok, so the phone and its beloved camera are gone for good but the build still goes on. I'll try to edit some pics in here later.

The body is almost all on now but as I get to the last few panels i'm finding a lot of huge gaps and mismatched parts, where there shouldn't be gaps and parts should meet up.

This is not the model at fault, but rather my bending and shaping of the larger parts that was done to accommodate my thicker card and dodgy cutting.

it's still coming together well, and I got it down to the point where I just have to scratch build a new front end cos no amount of filler is going to fix the gaps I've created.

Speaking of filler, I'm starting to think about filling and airbrushing the body now, which I was trying to avoid, but it'll neaten up (ahhh, hide) the way it's looking now.

All that's left is the front end, the bottom and wheel wells, and some details... like spoilers, mirrors, and those pesky side exhaust pipes I haven't decided how to tackle yet.

skupilkinson · 12-15-2007, 04:00 AM

I'm sure you'll pull it off buddy. Half the fun is sometimes overcoming the problems we face.

elf · 12-20-2007, 05:24 PM

it always amazes me when something makes something else change color....i was making a lion that was comming along and i got to this one part and my brown lion had pink at the seams....im using white glue...the ink on it just turns pink...like ...pepto pink....

jaffro · 01-02-2008, 03:28 AM

elf: I'm still undecided but i'm thinking I might start the wheels again, either that or I might just go for a cover-up of some sort.

As for model progress, things have slowed down a fair bit, a project I've had sitting on the backburner for a while has been given priority "must build" status so if things weren't slow enough on this build it might get shelved for a while cos I'd rather not rush it. The longer it takes the more details I plan to add anyway.

Just thought I'd add a couple of pics to show where it's at, cos I still haven't replaced the digital camera that was also my phone so for now I just have a loaner and don't know when I'm going to lose it.

It seems the ink I printed with is pretty bad when it comes to holding it's colour, not to mention the green bits appearing where there was no sign of any colour even remotely like it, so I've pretty much decided I'm going to give it a touch up with an airbrush when it's done.

I'm not going to abandon this build while I knock out the other project but it might be a while before the next update.

skupilkinson · 01-02-2008, 03:46 AM

It's still looking DAMN good buddy! Take your time. To rush would be a big mistake, a mistake I make all the time! LOL

ekuth · 01-29-2008, 08:38 PM

Very nice, Jaffro!

One small thing, though...

The driver's seat is on the wrong side of the car.
