Not so much as modelling but side projects. I modelled and 3d printed a conehead to make an Imperial communication droid.

I also had some mdf laser cut to make a painting stand.

Nice idea with the painting stand. about how much did that cost you, out of curiosity? if you don't mind.
$55. Not cheap but I went ahead as a test anyway.
That's not bad, given the setup costs etc. I think you'd be hard pressed to have it made any cheaper using any other manufacturing methods.
as a 1 off item at least.
Some works in progress. Aoshima Aventador SV, Huracan and Tamiya 2001 YZR500.

I also sanded and gave the 3d printed part a coat of primer. A few print marks remain but I'm sure they'll disappear after some more sanding and primer.

SOO much shiny!
I love the stand you've got for the bike as well, very neat idea.
Is the entire droid 3D printed or just the top? I can see what you mean about the print lines but they are very faint. Was it an extruded print or a fused powder process?
looks amazing gamblor
Cheers. The head is the only printed part. The body is from the Bandai R5-D4 kit so I need to cast the sensor eye bits and surrounds. I had it printed at Shapeways in frosted ultra detail which I assume is resin cured by laser, layer by layer. The tolerances are excellent and fit is extremely good so if the drawing is accurate then so is the model I've found. I might tweak it a bit and have it printed in extreme detail for version 2.
Wow, your models are immaculate!!! Amazing work!
Thanks. There are flaws I assure you :D
After watching Dunkirk I had to get a Spitfire on the shelf. This will be my first aircraft in over 2 decades. The F-14 will of course be VF-84 from The Final Countdown.

The Final Countdown > Top Gun!
Every time I see an Airfix Spitfire I'll be reminded of James May building one:

That was a great episode. Full of nostalgia.
I've seen builds of the Bandai death trooper in white, the so called ghost trooper on the interwebs which I found interesting so I made my own version.

I love tomcats too. It was the first model kit I built as a kid.
Here's where things are at the moment. There may have been whooshing sounds made :D

I bow to the master. Your builds and paintwork are immaculate! That looks like the real thing. The paint work on the exhaust pipes is especially stunning. Love how you polish up your models too. I'm going to pop my eyes back into their sockets now.
Thanks mate. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out.
What this guy said, I have no words of my own. :eek::eek:Quote:
