Jim Barry Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 It's a very interesting journey that's for sure, Brian. The 3D work REALLY opens doors that were kind of closed in the past. Now that I have more sense of what I'm into here, to really push it (and suffer!) could result in some very interesting things. I had earlier (before 3D) considered something like 1/24 B-25 to be a dream I'd spend 4 years doing in my retirement years, now I think It might be next and take just a year. sandokan and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Jim, Awesome work, and clever making the interior frames preformed! Love your puppy pic. We love our dogs too and had a Retriever for 19 years. BTW, do you race road or MTB? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Barry Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks guys. 19 years? Wow that's a long life. I race cyclocross mostly though I have done just about everything with two wheels I think (MTB, Road, TT, Triathlon). Here's a picture from last weekend in Gloucester, Mass. 109, Gazzas, Uncarina and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Great work!!!! This is really tremendous and the future of modeling IMHO Not in our lifetime, not in mass production anyways. 3D printing is still way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Excellent progress, nice 3D! And your puppy is so cute... We've got a 4 months old one roaming around here... Edited October 21, 2017 by Trak-Tor Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel460 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Really enjoying this build....a little old school and technology meet up. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks guys. Working on adding knobs and switchs and surface details to the cockpit. Update when more is done. Excited to see my wheels and tires come back today from Shapeways. I'm very pleased. Is this the future of modelling? Perhaps better to think of it as a future of modelling. A new way (of many valid approaches to enjoying the hobby). It's looking to me like it will be my future where for some unknown reason I'm cursed/compelled to make planes and scales they do not make kits of. This helps with this problem.

Out2gtcha Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The parts look great! Love the look, and yes, the future of modeling is 3D printing and CAD/CAM. Derek B and Jim Barry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) This is some incredible work here Jim. You sure got skills brother. Cannot wait to see this through Mike Edited October 23, 2017 by Youngtiger1 Jim Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Those shapeway wheels look pretty good. I have to be honest, I'm a little tired of trying to get rid of the mold seam on tires and end up with ugliness. I kinda cheap when it comes to AM... I might start buying more wheels, though.

Starfighter Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Excellent job, Jim! Really sorry for your loss, though - I'm glad you have a new pup in your life. There is nothing like a Golden... we have two Golden Girls at home. Meet Sunny (12) and Emmi (4 years old and veteran scale model inspector): Keep up the good work!

Jim Barry Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Ben, Nice dogs, there. We are thinking of going with 2 in a year or so. Love the inspector! Step by little step and the details add up. Nothing mind blowing, but getting into some finer details like toggle switches. For effect, I added some images into the gauges, but of course it has no effect on printing. Just curious what it'll look like. Keen eyes will notice its the same instrument.

Guest Maxim Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Nice progress. I like how now with 3D printing so many more scratch built projects are being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
