I made a mistake, it's not 1989 , but 1987 even :) At least it says on the model on the bottom fuselage near the right engine airduct. It was produced by Revell Germany i think, luckily for me, since the left airduct part is warped beyond repairs, same for the wheel rim parts, and it seems...

Here a link to a simple gallery with some pictures of this project http://modelbouw.sweelssen.com

Maybe someone on this Forum has built a Tamiya 1:32 F-14, put in a resin cockpit and has the original parts still laying around somewhere? I could use them. I'm looking for an original cockpit tub with middle wall. Parts B18 and E27 to make a better cockpit for the revell If you by chance...

I am starting a 1:32 F-14A from revell (1989) and am going to do a lot of detailing. Still looking for a M61-1A vulcan 20mm cannon. If anyone has a spare one from a trumpeter kit or something, or resin copy thereof, i'm interested. i only need the parts for the gun and drum, not the barrels, i...

My brother brought me a revell 1:32 F-14A kit a few weeks back. This is going to be my first attempt to build a kit after my stroke last year, my left hand is still not working completely, but i'm gonna try anyway. The plan is to detail this bird, with photoetch for the tamyia and resin parts. I...

I've been incapacitated for 2 months so i didn't have time to work on the 1:1000 serenity. I did try to print what i already had in 1 file, but some of the parts were just a tad too small, which caused the whole file not to be printed, so in the near future i will upload and print each part...

Re: Heritage class warship (andromeda) Unfortunately i suffered from what i believe they call herniated disks in english, happened about 2 weeks before i had to enter my design for the contest, so i couldn't finish it. This means i had to stop the printing and give it another go for next...

Early this week i got an invitation for a rapid manufacturing seminar/workshop on the 15th of september. Its sponsored by the governement and there's a contest involved. The items for the contest in the category rapid manufacturing (its a yearly thing) vary from chairs, lamps, jewelry to...

That is some great work there Joseph. I realy like your "Dagny" Nice sculpting and paintjob, that pilot looks real good. As for the lighted helmet: why not make a mold and cast a clear copy (epoxy is best for that) with the led in the head instead of drilling a hole and glueing 1 in, it will...

That looks pretty good, i like that clear plastic disc as stand for the model

They are up for sale now at shapeways if you want them http://www.shapeways.com/model/42085/at_at_foot_all_parts.html

Those parts were printed on an Objet, in a acylic based photopolymer. The method that printer uses is PolyJet Matrix™ Technology. After i designed the thingies.i had to make it watertight, because i actualy designed it in a CGI program (solid works etc are to expensive for my budget) I had it...

I'm Working on getting my new studio in order. A 8x4 meters huge space with 1 long side that is completely windows :) No problem with daylight there:) And Scott: as you can see, im done with the sewing machine lathe's. That little athe is the same as the 7"x12" mini lathe from Harbor Freight ...

Re: A little more work done on the F-Toys 1:144 AT-AT (update 11/8/2009) i ammended the first post with pictures of the printed thing

Oh, another thing, do not operate them at higher voltage than the max, because they just break down. Do it right and they can last 50,000 hours (27 years or so) if you go a little below their operating voltage they can last several lifetimes, hence the advice to choose the higher nearest...

Actualy Leds are quite easy to work with. Just remember that in case of parallel LEDs each led needs its own resitor, since electricity takes the shortest road and if both use the same resistor, one of them will work, the other won't. In case of connecting them in series you have to make sure...

My runabout is the only 1:1000 model i have, and in dire need of some company. So i started on a mate for it and here are the preliminaty pictures and an animation. www.sweelssen.com/Images/Reactor-1.jpg www.sweelssen.com/Images/Reactor-2.jpg...

Re: A little more work done on the F-Toys 1:144 AT-AT (update 20/5/2009) A little update added. I'm gonna prototype a few parts (again). I just love the fact that you can basicaly dream up anything at home and have it sent to you :)

Aves rocks. I have tried milliput too, but that stuff is bad news. Aves is real good 2component epoxy putty and if you get the thinner you can thin it so you can brush it on even :) I love that suff, great for sculpting figures too and it comes in lots of different colors.

Good luck, i won't be joining. It's not available over here.
