Lol Medieval or not, the result is what counts and your spinner looks great. Never tried to cast myself, except clear resin in wood .

Lol So Martin, how did you do this? I'm assuming you used the kit part as the master for the plaster but what resin putty did you use? May be simple but it definitely worked which is the main thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 That is correct, I used spinner from Fw-190 as the master and Tamiya resin putty. It's expensive, but much better to work with that Apoxy or anything else out there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now looked at it in daylight and it's not as bad as I thought. Think it was just the lighting it was under when I took the picture last night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, printing a spinner should not be a big issue. If someone is willing to do the research and give me the basic dimensions and profile, it's a few minutes design, and a few hours' printing job Hubert 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hubert , could you please look at this and tell me what is needed to print the wheel in 1/24 scale? https://cults3d.com/en/3d-printing/1-4-scale-fw190-wheel-and-tire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 If the 3D design is already done, I just need the 3D file, either in a usable 3D format or as .stl file (.stl is for 3D printing already). It can then be scaled down to the size needed on the slicer program. If you have only a 2D drawings of, say, a spinner, I need basic dimensions like diameter, length, size of openings, profile. Translating a 2D spinner drawing in 3D is easy enough. Doing a 3D design of a wheel is a lot more involved, as the shape becomes complex.
