I am affraid that Vincent Meens has deleted his terrific LEM files from thingyverse. You get them here now: https://cults3d.com/fr/modèle-3d/divers/apollo-lunar-module-vincentmeens But no more for free (still a great deal)

Wow - a new tool Shuttel in 1:72 (or 1:144) would be . But it will be the old Monogram or Revell moulds

Monogram 1/72 Space Shuttle
Caerbannog replied to johndon's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Nice to see a 1:72 Shuttle build here. Not sure if this will help with your window issue: https://amp.rokket.biz/am_shuttle_win.shtml I bought the set years ago but did not start the build yet. They do look very nice though and are not too expensive IMHO. Regarding your Enterprise plan - this ship was never meant to go to space and so was not constructed this way. If ever there would be a Space Shuttle go to space with the name "Enterprise" it would have been a completely different Orbiter. I am not telling you to abandon your idea, just want to let you know in case this -
Not sure if this is the place to post this (I will also post it in Bargains): Horizon models are having their fifth anniversary and they hold a competion and offer package deals with free worldwide shipping: www.horizon-models.com Sale will end October 31st. Rene

After the B-17 in 1:48 I doubt it will take much longer than 2022 till they will do a 1:48 Lanc

Resin for printing - differences, properties?
Caerbannog replied to JeffreyK's topic in 3D Printing Basics
I have an Elegoo Mars and used Elegoo water based resin mostly. I never tried the standard resins as I see no other advantage of the "nasty" resin than that it is about 10% cheaper. But you need to wash with alcohol so the price advantage seems to be eaten up pretty quickly. One issue I found with the water based resin: Be carefull when you wet sand it. On some parts the water kind of disolved the resin and the parts cracked open and warped. Maybe because they were not 100% cured. -
The Revell kit used the old Trimaster moulds (also used by Dragn) and was quite good IIRC. The Testors kit was very basic. Strange it did take so long for a new tooling - must be about 30 years. OMG

Y-Wing 1/48 resin model [WIP]
Caerbannog replied to StevenBills's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
So you have the same issues with the resin as I had with the water washable one from Elegoo regarding warping. On those prints which warped most I had the feeling, the warping happend after I detached the parts from the build plate. Do you use a turn table and an UV lamp to fully cure the parts? My turntable broke and I think this was at least one reason why the warts warped (despite some where very thin). -
Y-Wing 1/48 resin model [WIP]
Caerbannog replied to StevenBills's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Just for info if anybody else is interested - CG Trader have a discount today (they seem to do this regulary) which pretty much outweights the tax they add, so I got me the Y-Wing and the B-Wing. -
1/32 - Fokker F.1,Dr.I (early & late) by Meng - released

So what else did Meng tool for WNW? And who did the other toolings for WNW - is this known? -
Y-Wing 1/48 resin model [WIP]
Caerbannog replied to StevenBills's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Exactly! I found it a bit annoying, as he seems to be from the EU but as CG Trader is US they ask for tax if you buy from the EU (yes - quite normal but usually this is done by the customs). I was looking for an EU based store but to no avail so far. Will follow your build with huge interest :-) -
Y-Wing 1/48 resin model [WIP]
Caerbannog replied to StevenBills's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Nice thread! Is the guy on CGTraderalso selling the B-Wing, TIE and AT-ST? I was just about buying the Y-Wing/B-wing bundle, but after CGTrader announced that tax will also be added I puled the plug. I also use an Elegoo Mars - with waterbased resin. I found warping issues, when I reduced the parts tickness too much, and when I did not directly exposed the finished parts to a UV light source. If you use the water based resin - take care with wet sanding. I found the resin is still affected by water after I thought it was cured... Had also a lot of waste but the Elegoo is much more de -

3D printed kits, anyone know anything???
Caerbannog replied to Fletch0311's topic in Science Fiction Discussion
I bought an Elegoo Mars (resin printer) and the resolution is very good. Free files can be found on thingyverse and other sites. The quality is very different - some are low-poly so you will have more filling and sanding work on rounded surfaces, many are not super-accurate. But on the other hand you can adjust the scale of many files so you can get a 1:144 Ariane V or Space X rockets. And sometimes there are very good files even for free. If you are into real space subjects there are Vincent Meens upgrade files on Thingyverse for the Monogram LEM in 1:48. It is almost a complete kit and would
