    Introduction

    We do not close posts because they may take a long time. Some of the most beautiful models on this forum took years to accomplish, and having them documented, with pictures (which is why we required you upload pictures to the forum, they remain yours, but using a photo service has destroyed too...

    Teladi Kea (X3 AP, X-Universe) - low poly edition

    I watched all of them, I was Sci-Fi starved. The new BSG is incredible though. It is one of my all time favorites. I really really like "Farscape" too. I have a channel that shows every episode all day long. It takes about a week to go through the whole series.

    Teladi Kea (X3 AP, X-Universe) - low poly edition

    Excellent detailing work. I've made pre-amps using 555 timer chips, which are a dime a dozen, to allow to make a pre-amp that I used for matching impedance (Op-amp). This allowed me to use it to give 10 watts per channel for a CD player , 10 watts into 8 ohms, 20 watts into 4 ohms. This seems...

    I am designing a sidecar for my motorcycle

    Here are a couple of 3D printed wheels I did for the prototype model of the sidecar I am designing. 3D printers are finicky, always touch up work to do. These will work as they are for a mule vehicle, and I just needed wheels, front and rear, that don't need to look pretty. I could use...

    Silent Running "Dewey" drone walker robot with electronics

    I used to write Code for large CNC machines. I converted a large portion of Sikorsky Aircraft tape driven binary light reading tape machines to digital. More often than that, I just wrote a new program to make the parts. I also designed fixtures, all the Master Machinists CNC sh*t that...

    Silent Running "Dewey" drone walker robot with electronics

    A lot of people use https://esphome.io/ to learn the code. It might be worth using such tutorials. :)

    I am designing a sidecar for my motorcycle

    I'm going to try and model the fairing and side panels. It's a ridiculous amount of work, but all I have these days is time. It would be easier to build the bike without the CAD program, as far as the body goes. The CAD will definitely help in the tube lengths, and I own a tubing notcher. ;)

    Thunderbird 4

    If you visit the model again, cut the windows into strips, and the whole assembly will fit better, without so much glue filler, which disappears under coloring, but the shape will improve. Well done! :)

    Racing cars

    We're F1 fans in this home, but FIA has me quite pissed off, and the cars are bloated pigs of race cars. The Monaco race was a parade of cars, and the present F1 cars are to big and cannot pass each other on the track. On smaller scale models, I believe making some details stand out improves...

    I am designing a sidecar for my motorcycle

    I've changed my mind. I have decided using the bike's original fairing and nose piece, and some other ancillary components, I am going to twin the bike into a sidecar for. I may post images of this, it would be easier to buy the panels first, than spend 4 hrs. modeling them. So using the bike...

    I am designing a sidecar for my motorcycle

    A little tweaking on the car. It will be getting a small ground effect on the front bottom to use air to hold the nose of the car in the optimum position, aerodynamics, might as well use them, they're free! There will be a headlight (modern small kind) coming out of the center top of the...
