And finally, after much crashing and unresponsiveness, the VIC-2 SINCGARS model is back up! I don't know if it will print successfully but it is available. Hopefully I've fixed the problem that stopped it from printing.

M85 Barrels finished designing. Will be available in a set of 3.




If anyone believes that something isn't correct please mention it so I can fix it immediately.

I've started again on the AN/VRC-12 and I'm nearly finished with it. I've also started on a 'secret' project that I'm sure you will like. Pictures of both incoming later today (1/26).

The M85 barrels were kicked back when someone purchased one. Thin walls on the muzzle are the reason. It should be an easy fix but I'm afraid that the opening in the barrel may need to be closed I can attempt closing the opening leaving an indentation for anyone who wants to attempt driving it open but that is more of a last-resort solution.

The M68 barrels have been updated and I think should be printable now.

At the time they were finished but I had trouble exporting the model to the correct file format. I recently edited the model to hopefully shave off a bit of expense. I'll get it exported tonight.

Sure. Shouldn't take long to do.

I'm going through some preparations to begin drawing up some ruggedized laptops like the Panasonic Toughbook and Dell XFR series.

Unfortunately the Shapeways render engine isn't working so I can't change the picture in the shop.

I completed a set of MGM-51A Shillelagh missiles not too long ago. It will include 10 complete missiles, 4 "in-flight" missiles and 4 end caps. For the in-flight missiles the stabilizing fins are separate. I haven't taken any captures or done any rendering of the model yet.

I can definitely attempt it. I find some dimensions online so I'll a take a go at it sometime.

I can try it. Biggest challenge would be the hood and compatibility with the Italeri kit because I don't have it on hand.

I haven't read much of the previous 29 pages so I apologize if someone has already come up with this, but today I had an idea.

How about scanning and printing 1/48 and 1/72 railway subjects? This book shows that before and after Allied liberation, that railways in continental Europe had rolling stock from all over Europe: German & French Railways WW II

Especially with the well-detailed 1/72 models out now, a diorama of a wartime rail yard is practice. Maybe 1/48, too. No need to go for a new scale of HO-1/87 to create such a scene.
