Thanks Biffpow!
Can't wait to see what else my son can do!

Guys, look what my son was able to do! The original pic! 103655986.jpg An AI generated pic only it got rid of Batman, the ladder, and the stuff up front! Of course it made the panels wrong on the right but we only needed the base and catwalk! a93020c8-eabc-4c8b-a5e4-15525d45c9b6.jpg Enjoy Charles

Guys I haven't anything to post!

Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas!

I will be getting back to it next year!

Guys: Here are a few new pics of the panels on the lower half of the AP! The right hand panel took two weekends to model and a prototypes was printed! The prototype had to be cancelled because the colors were not right, the final colorized panel took 2 days 30 minutes to print! Let me know what you ...

That's looking awesome! Great details. I'm guessing that you didn't have a 3D printer five years ago when you started this project? It's cool how you are using it now in combination with the older model parts. What I like best is that your son is working on it with you! Im jealous of that. I cant g...

VERY nicely done. I’m pretty sure anyone on this board would love to have one. Good show, STP and son!

Thanks Biffpow from me and my son!

Guys: Here are a few new pics of the panels on the lower half of the AP! The left hand panel took several weekends to model and several prototypes were printed, and changed elements of the panel! The prototypes only took about and hour to print, the final colorized panel took 2 days 30 minutes to pr...

Thanks BiffPow!

Guys guess what I found!

2 cans Fifties Aqua!
Never been opened!
The one on the left was all that I had left a partial can! That I didn't know would be enough!
I feel better now!

I agree BiffPow I'll ask my son to work on it some more. I think it is pretty good although I would like to see more detail! I think we will work on the other two panels and see what they look like next to this panel! Then we can go back and maybe make more detail. It is after all our first try. Cha...

After 17hrs printing here is the middle panel!
Let me know what you think, I needs a honest opinion please!
Do you think it has enough detail?
Next we will work on the other panels.

Those rings were made out of 1/4 inch tape painted over!

Charles

Thanks for the tip, STP! Very clever!

I made a mistake it was 6mm masking tape!
Look on my page 8 for the details!

Charles

Thank you everyone!
The bottom half is coming right along as well!
Will post more pics soon!
