[Closed] VIDEO - This is how the guys who are REALLY good do it!

Time laps photography is great, or we would still be here watching this next new years day too! And makes it look so easy, but that's were talent comes in.

It's only 44 minutes. You'll have to go back to the beginning if you want to watch all of it.

A really remarkable procedure, all the way from using Blender, through the master modeling techniques ! Obviously, this man is an expert and experienced modeler, yet those 3D print procedures, in an accessible form, may certainly be a key future aspect of 1/18 (and other scale) model cars, etc.

Sorry, just meant he must have a lot of hours in this.

A fascinating vid to watch. Being an "ex" R/C guy, an "arm-chair" model RR and a diecast "mod-er" ..

..I can appreciate all the skills/methods utilized here. The R/C gear & set up was first rate. Those weathering techniques are textbook model rail-roader 101. (...108, 210 and 308).

A few "safety issues" concern me.

Not quite sure I'd be drawing those razor sharp Exacto blades toward me or holding "stock" while drilling. Unfortunately, I've done both and learned the "hard way" just how wrong all that can be.

One thing I've never done is to cut a CD to make a mirror. Now that I like!

As I kid, I tried making a "tin foil" model. I wanted to simulate scale dents. It turned out OK but was WAY TOO flimsy. I would have killed for the thicker aluminum sheets this guy used.

As for the all that 'puter software, well that's where I'm stumped. I've incorporated a few of those "scaling procedures" in other projects but certainly not all that "other stuff." That blew me away! Who knows? It may come to that (for me) someday.

What I didn't understand is that he chose to "hand fab" several parts yet he obviously had the ability to 3D print them. So why scratch build?

Lastly, I'm glad he revealed that "anything can be used" to make a part. From discarded CD cases to pill bottle tops. Often, modelers get stuck. If they simply look around or "outside the box" they'll find what they need.

GREAT VID MARLOWE.... thanks for posting. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

" Speechless " & " Amazed " in central Florida .... WOW!

Incredible!
