I know I called shotgun on your mis-casts, but I never thought
you gave two hoots!

I'll get my coat.

Just under two hours.  Admittedly, I probably tried to make these a little thin and have lost a little detail on the door work.  Not sure what happened to the bottoms of my windows either but a little autocad tweak will sort those out.

None the less, all these are useable.....so I知 pleased.  Not bad for my first go.

Too early to place an order for a few hundred?

Unfortunately....yes.

At two hours to print, once per day .....going to take me years to print what I need!

I may have to make moulds and cast them....

Nice work.

Moulding them is probably the best bet.

Given your previous proven ability to process moulding,
that does seem the most sensible method. Make a detailed
master on the printer, then mould from that. So...

Is it too early to place an order for a few hundred?


Nice to see your Mojo returning, see it only took a few seconds
of mindless violence with an RPG.

Indeed!

As for the order, if I make a mold, I will lend it you to cast your own few hundred!

Door reworked to deepen the detail work.  Windows re worked to have a bottom edge.  Single door designed using same pattern as the large double and a new window designed.  Will try out tonight......

And may the Blessings of Allah bestow upon you one thousand goats!




So, the windows are fixed but something is going horribly wrong with the door.  Th3 smaller doors are sharing a similar problem.  Is the detailing too much for the printer?

Maybe I need to slow it down?  Anyway, I need to experiment further.

Second window design should be done for tomorrow but I rather like these.



I think I may work on the Sultan and his close protection team this weekend...

I feel that the vehicle NEEDS some kind of anti RPG screen.
I have seen how much damage just one of those thing, in the
hands of a fanatic (yes Digits I do mean you), can do.

It will get painted.....anti blast  paint!  Best I can do.  lol

The dice were with me fella.  The fact I actually missed the point I aimed for and a random direction dice did the rest.....

Anyway, apart from a busted wing mirror, I知 chuffed with the scale Range Rover find on eBay.
