Great work Thanks for commenting. It certainly won’t be little, that’s for sure! The Timor cars in 1999 were prototypes- three windows each side for the passenger compartment. Here’s a pic I took of those vehicles in Dili in 1999: You could be inside, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Plus some interior updates. dodgem37 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Now that the major assemblies of the lower hull are together, I thought I’d put the increasingly hefty Bushmaster on the scales. 936 grams (33 ounces)! Wow. That suspension will be working pretty hard! Overall, it’s starting to meet my expectations. Started on the instrument panel design. Commander/gunner sits on the left, driver on the right.

GMK Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Not much opportunity for progress this week. That said, I was able to design & print v0 of the back door. The tiny aperture for the window is why I choose not to super detail the crew compartment. dodgem37, Starfighter, karimb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 In a pleasant end to an otherwise unpleasant week, the new printer turned up! Here’s the printer bits, the enclosure is the larger box. Ideally, it’ll be up & running this weekend. dodgem37 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Printer assembled, less enclosure. Time to print the upper hull. Only 187 hours, 50 minutes to go! Uncarina, patricksparks and dodgem37 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Wow! Glad your week ended on an up note, and I’m looking forward to the next conjuring. Cheers, Tom GMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tom Thanks, Tom. This is the first time I’ve had a print that’ll last longer than a week. Every day increases the stress - prints are where I become a sunk cost fallacist. This print has 4,037 layers. It also consumes almost all of a 500 gram/18 ounce roll of filament! Glad I’ve installed some sound proofing in the ‘production workshop’ under the stairs. dodgem37 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I’ve built a fair share of 1/16 scale kits, but conjuring one—serious respect! Cheers, Tom GMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
