Oh that's an awesome idea!!

I'm planning on it, but (as you know) I have a long list of things to develop in my spare time, and that's down there a little ways.

Unfortunately, I don't believe Harold ever made that, and I certainly haven't. I am not as well versed on the T-33 variants as he was, so I currently don't have any plans to make it. Sorry about that! Tim

Wow, that is some build!!

Yep, that's what I was wondering.

What exactly are the differences?

That would cost hundreds in resin alone, and wouldn't hold it's own weight, probably! A 1/64 version might be possible, but it would still be 3 feet wide. By comparison, a 1/32 B-29 would only be 4.5 feet wide....

Well, duh. I don't know how I missed that, I'm on Gambody once a week! And holy crap, at 1/32 it's wingspan would be 6 feet!!

Has anyone produced any good 3D models of these yet? I'd love to print one at a larger scale.

I'm not understanding what on that sheet is subject to trademark laws. I do not see any USMC logos on that sheet at all, or did I just miss it? Have they trademarked the word "MARINES"?

X2! I recently started using this software and I love it!!

Thanks, guys! I am planning to update that catalog and add some new items as soon as I can actually get some time to sit down and do it. Tim

Boy that is really nice! The finish is awesome! T

That is SUPER cool!! I wish I had the space to build stuff like this, but I'm just not going there! T

I'm betting Reskit will make the Pave Tack pod at some point. I've been avoiding the stuff I think they are likely to make simply because I don't want to spend a bunch of time making it only to have them either beat me to it, or do it better. And yes, they are better at it than I am. Tim

Holy smokes, buddy! That is really outstanding! Makes me want to build one...

Agreed. And I know first hand how hard it is to get something like that off the ground.....even for a "side hustle".

I learned an interesting lesson about 3D printing yesterday. As some of you know, the way SLA (liquid resin) printers work is by curing the liquid in successive layers by shining a pattern of UV light up onto a clear membrane on the bottom of a tray of resin. Each layer "sticks" to that clear membrane a little bit, so there is a slight "pop" when the build plate lifts to do the next layer. The greater the surface area of the layer, the more it sticks to the membrane. I tried to print something yesterday that had much more surface area than I've ever tried before. When the printer reached the first full layer, I heard a loud wind-up noise and then a VERY loud sort of "twank" sound as the printer struggled (and then succeeded) to pull the print off the membrane. It was so loud it startled me! I stopped the print immediately and will find another way to approach that. So, for future reference, when they say to orient your model to keep the surface area of each layer as low as possible, they aren't kidding. T

It doesn't take a lot of work to make the Hasegawa kit look like a Hellcat pretty much out of the box. And if you want to jazz it up, there are lots of things out there to help. Here's my example: https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2401 and there are way better ones out there.

I've done that before. Especially the 1 week "free trial".....

My thoughts exactly. I loathe all things Apple.

X2.

I suspect that outfit would provide about the same level of protection as the rest of the Stormtroopers. Maybe more, since most people would be too distracted to shoot straight! T

Boy, that is nice looking stuff!!!

Me too! Very inspiring!
