Got something to share/show

[Luke]

So the inner edge of the tyre is what, as thin as electrical tape
All jokes aside, would look killa if stanced just right. As it reads like you can get it super low.

New tooled brakes aye, interesting yes!

It’s like the 86 Rocket Bunny kits. 2 apples off the bench oob. The Aoshima big brakes are awesome too. I’ll have to post in more detail next time I put one together. I’ve only built the Nissan Cima in the K break series of kits

and the rims are sweet, must track down a set or 2 yes!

No modelling for me this past week, busy working on the space to build them
Inner walls 90%, once thats complete will do the ceiling.

Wow!! That’s looking killer!!! drool
jawdrop jawdrop jawdrop

Very nice Luke.

I have been working full time as a draftsman for 3+ years now and have gone from being largely self taught with 2D AutoCAD to now being able to punch out 3D models in Solidworks:



I am actually really proud of this one, as for a one parter it had a ton of details to manage and incorporate.

I have recently done some much more complex assemblies and will check if I can share some pictures of those. Of course the model is only half the battle, taking that model and making a useful drawing out of it is where I do most of my work.

It is certainly a much nicer way to spend my time than trying to herd cats and bash my head against a wall as I did in previous roles, on a good day its almost like getting paid to build electronic Lego or models!

Random chaos on my painted parts shelf:



Luke sent me these a while back, they looked really cool with the redline on the wheels but it was far from concentric, so a few minutes with the lacquer thinner and the red is gone and these will look really cool on something eventually:



Also, was poking around the Model Car Mag forums on Friday night and came across this in a build thread and thought it looked cool so decided to build one myself.
The creator was cool enough to create a tutorial which I mostly followed.

And here is my effort so far, of grabbing some buttons off an old work shirt for the castors.

hi5 bowdown always impressed by people who do 3D work, Hope you can share more pics of projects you worked on.

Good too see you posting what's happening at your workbench. Body trolley is kinda cool.
