Delighted to finally have a 1/32 G Wagen and the BRG XJ6 in the collection

 

Done well to find classy spec G-Wagon Stan, all the ones I see on Aliexpress are very much 'drug dealer spec'

Tidy work Sean, I'll admit I'm surprised that's printed as well as it has, not a very printer friendly shape but I imagine there's a lot of supports generated to hold it all inplace.

Also supprised to hear it's stronger than the filament version, I'd always assumed resin was more brittle/fragile. Good to hear though!

Am I right in thinking I've seen guy's cureing Resin prints in seconds useing UV torch's, ??

Joe.

Normally you use a curing station, basically a big uv lamp with a turntable infront of it. Tends to be 5 minutes cure each side

Sounds good so far Sean, remember to cure them eventually though. Even though they feel hard to the touch from what I understand without a good cure they'll start to melt/disintegrate from the inside out leaving you with a gloopy mess months down the line.

Love seeing how everyone is modding stuff, it's as I'd envisaged at the start that I merely provide the first building block and people can then adapt and improve them as and how they please. Great to see

Hopefully shows what's going on. These have alot less supports, being round you only need supports at the very bottom as the model gradually steps out and back on, no sharp undercuts.

You can see in the first photo dimples on each wheel, this is uncured resin that we are washing off in the first video, second video shows how by using hot water the model pushes off its supports. These models are arguably over supported hence abit of force needed, using the splicers standard settings they'd simply fall off with some hot water.

Aye cleaning upthe mess would bug my joy, But I don't think that is such a big problen with the soluble stuff, would be interesting to know how the model is printed in resin, but the supports are soluble,

Regards

Joe.

The supports themself aren't soluble Joe, it's just the uncured resin sat on the part that you are washing off. The supports break off as they narrow down to a fine point where they meet the part. By using hot water the resin gets a little bit of flex and you can simply push the finished piece off the supports. This avoids snapping parts like Sean's experienced. Will grab some photos tomorrow to explain.

Looking good so far Sean, you'll be surprised at the detail you get, I should think everything will carry over on a correctly scaled version. 0.7mm wide x 0.3mm high nuts print perfectly on my Elegoo.

Looking brilliant so far Tom, love the leaf springs

All painted not to the high standard of most of you, fantastic and easy to build.  Thanks to James.

Awesome Mark, nothing wrong with the paint finish on them! Love the staining on the flat bed

been tinkering in-between doing job for her indoors with one of james bale trailer kits, have to praise him as i managed to break one of the hay ladders last weekend ,after dripping it and then running the chair over it, and he very rapidly dispatched a replacement. 

have altered it to a twin axel version, trimmed the wood floor in and added a small edge all round to hide the wood edge, added a head board, and while waiting extended the rear ladder so it matched the height up front when my new one arrived ,just need to trim the wheels in a smidge so they sit at the right width to the bed and maybe add some hooks for tying down along the side 

Loving the way you've incorperated the rocking beam Sean. I was saying to Zac at Carlisle that I still can't get a twin axle to look right on the computer! That looks spot on though

 Cheers  joe, thinking i may go washable resin like james uses as thats just tap water then so free 

Never looked back, used the Elegoo and Jayo brands, no hassle from either

That's why eBay makes a 52% net profit margin

Can't deny it's a good business model!

No way! I thought the seller sorted the pricing of delivery

For general shipping in the UK they do, and you can decide your own international shipping fees. However ebay has a system called 'Global Shipping Program' which allows you to sell across all the countries eBay trade in without having to work out a price for every single country.

€54 for postage is nuts

In fairness that won't be the seller deciding that price. Ebay's global shipping program auto calculates the shipping and they handle the process. As a seller it gets sent to eBays hub (Litchfield in the UK) then they forward it on across countries. I believe they cover the customs charges too so that will be a chunk of the postal cost.

Or maybe we can convince the famous British trailer kit builder to make some direct drill kits. 

@Stabliofarmer Do you think you could do a direct drill for under 540 EURs? 

Funnily enough a friend is the design engineer for Muzuri and the topic of kits was discussed not long ago. Not a small project but possibly watch this space, 539EUR sound good enough? 😜

BR43 MRE, love it!

It's all about the marketing 😏

Looking great Mark, glad you like it

Loving that Ted, particularly the interior detail

Will be heading along with the Braemere stand, looking forward to it!

Looks awesome Zac, some really nice details and great foliage

Looks brilliant Zac, enjoy the show!

Snuck another kit out at the end of last month, a concept I'm really pleased has worked. SlurryKat 7.5m dribble bar for the Britains NC tankers. Simply cut the rear door off the tanker and the dribble bar is a push fit into the space created.

3am start to hopefully arrive before dinner time! That bit of sea gets right in the way 🙄

Booked the hotel and ferry last night, looking forward to it. Attending as Braemere Models so get that spending money at the ready! (James Temper, next to Britain's on the floor plan)

Cheers Jack, it's certainly been a busy year! Other than the Bailey and Heath none of these existed this time last year, just been through and checked, the first kit was the cattle crush made in early November. Time flies when you're making kits!
