THE CLUBHOUSE

Late birthday present.

Here ya go, Scalemates has it. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/polar-l ... ch--187249 Just go to the Instructions download link on the page.

Just a heads up for anyone who might need one: When Atlantis started the process of reissuing the Saber Toothed Tiger and Cave Bear kits, they discovered the Saber Tooth molds also included the base pieces for the Allosaurus. Atlantis is now running new Allosaurus bases, and making them available th...

I built that Evil Iron back when I was a kid and have been wanting to get one since I got back into the hobby. Just don't want it enough to pay what it usually goes for since I am not a big vehicle bui...

Update: Gave both to my brother in law. I could NOT get the Godzilla figure's teeth to print right in FDM at that small a scale, and I lack the display space to go larger. I'm planning on switching to a resin printer around February. I'll reprint both then, in a size that won't eat all my display sp...

Since I showed a partial print in the scale issue photos, might as well show the entire figure. Another DopePope sculpt, Showa Godzilla.

This is how much the scale was off. :D They were both supposed to be 1/250 scale. I think they miscalculated Anguirus' height, taking a figure listed for his height when standing on the hind legs, as in the movie still posted, and interpreted that as his height at the shoulder while on all fours. ht...

Turns out that the stated scale was off. I'm most of the way through printing a DopePope-sculpted Showa Godzilla, and this Anguirus dwarfs it. Godzilla looks like a toddler by comparison. The Anguirus was too large, if my calculations were correct. I'm going to print a rescaled Anguirus to go with G...

I got the base files fixed, and the printing finally completed! One of these days, I'll get around to the seam filling and usual 3D print post-processing, then it will be paint time. https://i.postimg.cc/CBf3dHBV/angy1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/67Ss91Q0/angy2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/JytVCWR0/angy3.j...

That is an awesome paint job! I'm so used to seeing that ol' bird in shades of blue and white, this is a great change-up!

They're a bit pricey, ($112.50 + shipping on Amazon), but I really want to get the upcoming ROM and Micronauts omnibus editions from Marvel. I missed many issues of both back in the day, and would really like to have complete collections.

A snag has developed. The base won't print properly. I went back and looked at the digital file in my slicer, and for some reason the center of the base is flat, but there's a wavy margin surrounding the flat center. From that margin, the base slightly curves upward toward the outer edge. That upwar...

The figure itself is finished, I just need to print the base. In addition to the usual filler primer and sanding to hide layer lines, I need to fill a few pretty serious gaps. Looks like my printer isn't QUITE tuned properly.

That is a nice size. Gonna be a fun piece for sure. Oh yeah! Gonna be a bit of a learning curve as compared to resin kits. Today I had to take a heat gun to the pieces and carefully melt off fine strings of PLA plastic that the nozzle left behind while printing. In some places, it looked like Angui...

The trials and tribulations of 3D printing. I got a good start on the final part of the figure... and had a support fail. I'm having to start from scratch on this part.

The base looks good, it adds to the overall look of the piece without distracting from the stars of the show!

Nope, sorry, no production run from me on this. The license on the digital file that I purchased doesn't permit it.

Here's an earlier pic that I took with a tape measure in the frame.
