Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Tuesday at 07:19 PM Administrators Share Posted Tuesday at 07:19 PM I could not help myself. Had this Radu Brinzan conversion in the drawer for years. Suddenly whipped out a Me262 kit and sawed off the nose. The resin nose is a pretty good fit. Some boiling water to make it fit perfectly. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Wednesday at 07:17 PM Author Administrators Share Posted Wednesday at 07:17 PM The bulkhead has major shrinkage and can’t be used. See in the pic: the one on top is the MDC resin. The lower Trumpeter. I will make a 3D one and print it. The whole floor has shrinkage too. This was supposed to be a quick build. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I didn't know Radu did a conversion for this kit. Wow. And that is some shrinkage. Water must have been COLD!!! Cool that you can 3D print stuff like this. I wonder if it would be helpful if we had a library here on LSM where people could post the 3D printing files they would not mind sharing? Nice fit of the nose to the fuselage. Probably the best fit of the entire kit... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice fit of the nose to the fuselage. Probably the best fit of the entire kit... In principle, the idea of sharing 3D-files seems a good idea. However, designing a 3D part can be time consuming, even if this is a hobby and we do not see the time there in the same way as working time. Sharing a 3D-file for free means the designer looses control of the whereabouts of the said file. And who says that the file will not end up in the hands of someone who will then sell the file to others for a profit ? We already see a lot of this with music or video creations. This is basically piracy of intellectual property. There are already some websites that share - for free or for a fee - some 3D files. This was also the principle of Shapeways, who also did the printing, but finally priced themselves out of the market. I have already shared some printable 3D files, and asked the recipient that he did not re-share, or worse, resell, the file. But it’s a game of trust. Doable on one-to-one sharing basis, but making files available through a website or forum is opening Pandora’s box IMHO. Remember the rules that had to be established for the Xmas raffle ? Just another proof that people profiteering from others’ generosity do also exist in the modelling world. Hubert PS: nice progress Jeroen. Sorry abou the thread drift. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
