Yep. I thought of that, but I left it at that. He just lopped off the head. If I could have managed it dripping I would have. LOL Retired firefighter. Believe me, Ive seen PLENTY of blood outside the body in all stages.

OK, so I took the dive. I bought an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra resin printer. I am loving it!!! This thing is awesome. And the ease of use is incredible. I was printing within an hour of setting it up. Would have been sooner but had issues getting the newest Chitubox version downloaded.

I joined a 3D page on FB and have rapidly realized I am NOT enthused about trying an FDM type printer. Dear Lord. Its like you have to do 48 calibrations and sacrifice 10 virgins to get a decent print out of those things. Every problem posted has 32 different answers and all of them COULD be the issue. Although I have been looking at Elegoos Neptune 4 Max. That one seems to be pretty good and does a lot of auto calibrating. So thats something Im pondering.

Here are some of the things Ive printed up already. Stacking up the future projects. As if I dont have enough model kits to keep me going until my last breath.

Donatello as the Last Ronin. In the comics its Michelangelo, but this model has it as Donnie, and I LIKE it! I still have o print the base, but his hands and the rest of the stuff are printed, just not pictured.

Dragon skull, then Tiamat then a cobalt dragon.

🤣 someone else who hates doing the weaps!! I do mine first now, and I mean ALL of the supplied weapons , even if I don't need them, cos I know I will on another build, might as well go through the pain as few times as possible 😆. Looking very sweet btw.

Someone needs to offer a weapons building service. Ship the sprues and decals, pay 50 bucks and they send them back completed. LOL

Ouch, the low level mission profile was not a success in real life or plastic!

The build was excellent, but the metallic work just blew this kit out of the water - and that 1st place was well deserved. Like you, I've banned the family cat from the workspace after he decided to jump on my finished A-10A, crushing a landing gear. I hope you and your daughter can have a chuckle at the mishap later in life - sometimes it's the little cracks that makes for interesting stories and fond memories - hopefully!

Well, got the canopy masked and on and the top side sprayed. Let it dry and do the bottom. And of course, im gonna need to do something with those intakes. *sigh*

Silly putty masking and Aggressor gray sprayed. Used a rattle can, so there was a raised ridge around the sprayed areas. Argh. Once it dries thoroughly Ill knock that down. For a simple egg build,,,LOL

Well, its done. Another one of those not my best, but its a totally just for fun kit anyway. The decals were starting to come apart, so some dont look that great and the TAC badge for the right tail disintegrated. But here it is. 🙂

Beautiful! Quick Question for you - I noticed you black based this kit before applying the gray color - does this produce a better result for you? time savings? I black-based a kit once, and realized that I should have applied a lighter shade of gray to bring it back down to the intended color.

Making progress. We will see if I can get it done by the 6th.

OK, so I got it done by Wed.

There is one pic of it completed before I "tarped" it. I didnt have time to do a full dio though. That may happen later. Do a better job with the ropes and such.

Notes on the kit. Do NOT waste your money on this thing. Get one of the others out there. The shape around the exhausts is wrong. The detail is completely non existent. Essentially, this is JUST that basic overall shape of the plane. And fit ended up being a lot worse than I first though. It really is only good for doing this particular plane with the tarps on it.

Slow progress. Busy weekend last weekend. Life stuff etc.

Got some generic USAF decals as I needed to replace the ones on the Tbird F-84 I did, so that was a little side thing.

Then the Dr 1. After all the crap trying to get the finish glossy, I grabbed a can of Krylon colonial red and sprayed the parts. I figured its just paint. If it doesnt look OK Ill strip everything and try something else. While it may not be an accurate color, its got a good gloss finish now.

Started actually building the damn thing today. LOL
