Good for you! 3D printing can be a real PITA, but it is also very satisfying. I finally got to the point where I designed and printed the little green wagon in my avatar. That sort of thing gives me a lot of satisfaction. Keep up the good work.

A friend of mine has a Sublime Green Dodge Charger. So when I saw this filament, I bought it with the idea of making something for him with my 3D printer. I downloaded the steering wheel and seat from Thingiverse, and the wheelie bar connecting rods are stainless steel rod. I designed and built...

The best thing about being a cop in Pontiac, IL, is that you get to drive a GTO.

I normally use a setting solution, but didn't this time.

On my last model, the decals did not want to stick. They were from a sheet of decal paper that I used previously with no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I got the clear on too heavy. Would this cause them not to stick?

Ford Talladega assigned to Arizona DPS

What light box did you get?

Yeah, I think of the patrol cars we had back in the '70s, and the Hemi Chargers of the last decade, and know that I would be totally bummed if I had to drive a V6 Explorer. :(

I use a regular HP printer then apply 2 coats of Krylon Crystal Clear to them. No issues at all.

I have a Talladega waiting in the wings

I never was a paramedic, but if I was, I'd sure rather drive an Olds 442 W-30 than some hulking E350 diesel.

I've been working for about a month to upgrade the quality of my 3D printed parts. My light bars are cleaner, with much less stringing. I finally bought a pin vise so I could drill holes in the A pillars and mount the spotlights in a more realistic manner. Alabama state trooper.

I just bought some Mirror chrome paint from Culture Hustle. It looks amazing, and I think once it has cured you can touch it. I may experiment with shooting it with a coat of semi-flat clear to see if it ends up looking like stainless.

Does anyone make a brushable paint that truly looks like stainless steel? Like chrome with a bit less shine or gloss.

Role reversal.

3D printing is very much a DIY enterprise. They never heard of manuals. I envy the guys that can make a figurine from scratch. That's an art form into itself. I'm not into that, but you might try doing a search for 1/35 STL and see what you come up with.

This isn't really a scale model, but it's a project I've been working on for a few weeks. I was at a huge car show a few weeks ago and saw a little red wagon that had been made into a hot rod. It inspired me, and I thought, "I can do that". So here it is. The axles and spindles, gauges and all...

Here's my stab at duplicating the old Whelen strobe light bars, which were not very common in their day. Tulsa Fire.
