Sorry if you were expecting Brad Pitt…
After a year off of Tank Fest I decided to go again this year. My main goals this year were to see the Fury tank, visit the conservation centre and check out Continue reading Got A Nice Photo Of The Star Of Fury At Tank Fest
I decided to attempt to add some tracks to my tank model I am working on in blender. From what I have read making good tank tracks is a kind of rights of passage in 3D Modelling. The detail some people have gone into is Continue reading 3D Modelling Making Tracks
I recently been playing around more and more with 3D modelling.
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly as you may have seen from my previous posts I am building a 3D printer. Secondly I have been prototyping different computer game ideas in Unity for a while now and decided to switch to 3D for some of my ideas.
Here is a couple of images of a tank model I am working on. It does not really have a dedicated purpose yet but I thought if I made any models for use in games they could be simplified for printing purposes.
The weapon of choice for my 3D modelling is Blender. This is because it is a free open source application with plenty of tutorials on itself and integration with Unity.
It looks like 3D printing will pose its own challenges where things like over hanging parts will be a challenge. This does give me the idea of printing a model over several runs in kit form though which would be cool.
I was not expecting the beetle to be able to wheelie but it does quite well!
I had some trouble with the brush-less motor when testing the car where accelerating or reversing would cut out the electronics. I managed to sort this by Continue reading Finishing the Blitzer Beetle
The chassis for this car was pretty quick and easy to build. I used a receiver from Continue reading Blitzer Beetle Chassis and Motor
I have started spraying the main body of my blitzer beetle. Continue reading Tamiya Blitzer Beetle Part 2
I have a new RC car to build, this is an Volkswagen Beetle off road buggy.
I did not realise until recently that there are a fair few hard body kits available. I prefer these as you can add much more detail than you can with Continue reading Tamiya Blitzer Beetle Build 1:10
My Red Bull 7 kit is almost complete. I have applied all of the stickers to the main body and just have a few details such as the wing mirrors left to add.
This stage was slightly delayed while I awaited arrival of a propeller balancer.
It is recommended that you check each propeller and balance it before attaching them to your model in order to ensure it flies with greater stability.
The idea of this tool is to hold Continue reading Sky Rider Drone Pack 2
