    Advice from aircraft builders needed.

    I use the same method as Steven.

    3d printed Monocycle Speeder

    Thanks Jim. The printing is pretty straightforward really, I don't know why I held off for so long! Thanks Neil. It's easier once the item is in your hand to be fair. The contact points are so small that you can generally break them with a finger, or simply "peel" the supports away.

    3d printed Monocycle Speeder

    Here's a quick one that I printed on Friday after work, then painted and placed on a small base. The design was a free download and it used less than £2 worth of resin.

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    He was mortified John but at the end of the day there was no lasting harm done, just a few messy minutes cleaning up, so it was all good. It's a learning process for both of us and after a few quick pointers he's having much more success. On that note, if anyone decides to get into resin...

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    Some pics after that long post 😁 Looking for something to paint I came across an interesting, free file on Cults3d, a huge library of widely different subjects, some free, some paid for. After downloading the file and running it through the Elegoo SatelLite slicing software, I printed it out...

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    Once again I apologise for being a bit slack here. I had all sorts planned for this blog but if I'm brutally honest I'd rather be modelling than composing posts. I'll get there eventually lol I'm getting into a good routine with the prints, when I can schedule a time that Thomas isn't using...

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Super quick delivery from the shop. A couple of paint refills, tiny sanding sticks, a different liquid mask to try and some small cups for custom paint mixes. Oh, and my first motorcycle kit. Should be interesting

    I'll be watching. I was so close to choosing the same title!

    All done

    Fantastic news John. My wife and I were amazed at how quickly her cancer was dealt with too. She was almost shell-shocked afterwards, as though it had all been a (terrible) dream.

    Stefee's Hasegawa 1/24 Datsun Sunny Pick up.

    So sorry to hear that Stefan but the pick up has turned out great. I look forward to seeing more pics.

    Thanks for the information John, I'll pass it on to Thomas

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    Cheers Steven, a cautionary tale. I'm currently trying to get my head around CAD software to make my own designs, so I'm safe. Just need to keep an eye on the youth lol

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    And then there's the whole remix situation. If I downloaded a design then added some extra twiddly bits myself, could I then claim it as my own? Like you say, the law is probably lagging behind the tech and needs clarifying.

    Bogged down Boris

    Thanks Tim. I'm sure I heard a whispered "gotcha" at times 😁

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    Your guess is as good as mine Tim. It seems to be a grey area that I haven't got to the bottom of yet. I do currently have a line though. Thomas regularly does commission painting, and also sells his older or excess models online. If that were to include 3d printed models I'd probably be okay...

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    I think he may in the future John, I just need to keep an eye out for copyright issues as some designs are for personal use only. He's a sensible lad, but I don't want him being led astray by peer pressure.

    Bogged down Boris

    Thanks Joe. I wasn't sure if he was having a smoke or "gesturing" to the officer 😂

    Bogged down Boris

    Thanks gents, I'm glad you like it. I'd love to think that Ron might have given it a nod of approval too.

    Thanks for everything Ron, you will be sorely missed.

    Bogged down Boris

    "Watch this!" shouted Boris to Fritz, the passenger in his shiny new halftrack. The plan was to cross the river then romp up the opposite bank to show just how capable the vehicle was. Unfortunately, Boris ran out of talent and managed to get the beast stuck. He tried his best to extracate...
