cheers james, the second prints off and running now, using the washable stuff, so i will try that method for removing it when its done. seem to be having a few issues with the printer not recognising the file names at the mo, no idea as its what chittabox calls them ,so need to resolve that, but thats more new software and me to be honest. then its down to settings to find the best speed against detail/finish ,again trial and error i think

sorry joe was having a senior  moment , yes at this scale the detail is stunning,  recon its 1/16 or close to it ,  once the mother has been taken home 😂😂 birthday meal tonight ,so tomorrow  i will be trying a trailer ,in washable resin , see what comes out    was a pain cleaning up standard resin, 

have a feeling i know what i did scale wise, i printed my oversized master so to speak  ,not the scaled down one,doubt the detail will be as good down to 1/32, i recon its prob  not far off 1/16 looking at it.i do sometimes scale the plan up so i can see where bits aint joining properly ,

but i did break a few springs off when taking the supports off. nothing that cant be glued back on though i recon ,

Its out , and washed and cured , may have somehow made it bigger than 1/32 , looks to big , but right now i dont care , it worked 😁😁😁just got to get the supports off , model its self is smooth as hell , no layer lines at all 

just a little one, 12 cm wide there abouts, 2-3 deep, i am printing on factory setting,speed wise , just want to get used to it, plus there supports on it,as it prints at an angle, isnt a huge amount of resin going by the slicer,30 ml, but its on a detailed layer setting, once i get the hang i can adjust exposure setting and speed lift setting , which makes it quicker. its weird mind, hardly any noise, no obvious light, for the life of me i cant figure out how its actually working making the print, theres 4980 odd layers on it last time i looked it was on 400 

my ipa finally arrived and print no1 is now under way,9 hour print  of a rear harrow .time will tell, been looking at speed settings ect and to be honest, even on basic factory settings, at .005mm per layer its still quicker than the filament one ,and with the trailers i get main  body and chassis in one print, but thats print no2 ,lets see how this one goes .

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

i will take it off for painting so will send you some pics, its pretty basic and i have made it a bit to tight for the rocking ,so needs some sanding, but i recon you could make it on your cutter .

The seller was sji2400, he has a 3D printed Roadless 115 on at the moment. May be worthwhile following him in case he puts another Northrop on.

Amazing whats about, i found a full jd6195m or similar to that last night on a stl files site in 1/32 . Was hellish detailed as well not just a shell

You'll be looking for Isopryl Alcohla 99.9% pureLoads of folk selling that on E-bay, at various prices, I've been useing that for years for cleaning build plate etc , Best of luck on your new venture, PS, My Stepson had two PDP vans at his house on the same day, with stuff from the same shop, ??

Regards

Joe.

 

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

it will joe, the resin that is with it(when it gets here) is one that needs alcohol to clean it, guess its only cheap stuff, so i need to look into the washable stuff james has mentioned, rather than buying in 3 l of stuff to fill the wash station,  can still use it as the curing bit, plus water one will make cleaning the resin vat out easier as well i suspect.  will get some ordered when i have found a decent one, will have to be fleabay at a guess, seems a lot cheaper there than on the few shops i have book marked 

sort of a 2023 buy, my xmas present from the wife arrived today, dam its a bit bigger than i thought🤔🤔🤔 sadly i cant try it yet if i wanted to as this is two parcels worth, and parcel 3 ,the resin, hasn't arrived yet, no idea how 3 parcels sent the same time end up on 3 different vans with the same company😂😂😂 

not seen one like that before,but to me it doesnt look like a britains one, looks poorly moulded for one,and i have never seen any version of the britains drivers with that mould hole in their stomach area either

 Clever wife! 
 

good job she didnt see anything else mind 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

well i have just found out i am going to have to learn another printer . seems the wife was watching me looking at the creality black friday sale stuff, and noticed i looked at a particular item, turns out today that shes ordered it for my xmas present, an 8k halo mage resin printer bundle, inc the resin and curing/wash station ,all at less than the printer solo before the sale. going to be interesting i suspect . apparently its filtered so hardly any fumes ??

I have two sets of wheels and some small bits (lights,mirrors,etc) in my basket of value €108 and the postage ………… €26.95 😵‍💫

if you want parts from them, drop hlt miniatures a message with the part number you want, they do large orders to save on postage ect, then post on, pretty much every time i have gone down that route via mandy, even with a small “handling fee” its still cheaper ,especially for just 1/2 items 

cheers hugh, have them all from the agco parts website, it really threw me as it is a shade i have not heard of before this ,it was always silver mist, then sapphire grey . chassis shads altered but not wheels,well till now at least

try braemere  models on facebook ,he’s  a member on here as well , does some nice wheels for his trailer sets, but does sell them separate

Overpriced or just very rare?? 
seems a bit much 

has he even got it?? has a reputation of putting stuff on ebay  and not actually having it in stock,had me twice in the past so wont use him since .

those “really useful “  boxes are great, all my unboxed stuff is in those, way more stronger that others, and easy to stack up as well . they do cost some,but well worth it

9S 425 video, lets you see how wrong UH got the rear wheel weight,

Regards

Joe

 

looked at loads of pics and none have uh’s rear weights, only thing i can think is its a us version of the weight rings,  and being tight they think one part will do both types maybe  🤔🤔

valtra t in fendt green, red wheels and white cab top, with a big wood chipper on the back, had to look twice as it went past me on a low loader artic heading out of cornwall on the tamar bridge ,100 % a valtra though

You can get different rear wheel weight sizes Sean, well you can for the 8S, so same for the 9S i guess

i know, but every pic i have seen since it appeared do not have those huge weights on it, just the same ones as the pics above, just makes it look naff to me, suspect if you take them off there will be no detailing on the rims at all .
