Thumbs up to Dave Goldberg - beside showing the finished product, he shares his process, intermediate steps, and designs. That's the mark of an real artist who keeps the community in mind.
You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Steven Grayson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Was a bit down recently and this guy just cheered me up massively, just like with the R2D2 Builders club. This is awesome, thanks Tested! :D You guys always seem to know where to go and whom to talk to.
that bit at the end where you see the difference between hobby-level 3d-printing and big-money 3d-printing was astounding to me. Oh well, in 5 years time, that difference will be largely eroded :) In any case, love the work Dave is doing, that X-Wing was badass :D
I'm currently painting up my AMT 1/32 scale Anakin's Podracer and using the blu-ray as reference. It's only when you study it closely that you notice the disparity between the practical prop, the CGI version and the version used for close-ups.
Very enjoyable Norm. Thank you. Makes me wish I had the talent,and a printer. Anyone suggest a cheap entry level printer,and a site to help a complete novice?
Alot of what you want depends on your budget. If you are a tinkerer you can get a pretty good printer fairly cheap. But it will take work. To get a printer that just works will cost a bit more. For the creation of 3d stuff youtube is your friend. There are tons of apps out there that are free and many many videos that can help you learn them. The only want to get really clean prints is to go with SLA printing. Those are very expensive printers. They use resin which is more chemicals and dangerous than straight PLA printing.
Perhaps, but who do you use? And getting parts from them isn't cheap. I'm willing to bet that a domestic (in USA) printer would charge ~$400 for the two cockpit pieces alone. For a model like this, it would probably be cheaper to get a nice 3D printer and do it yourself... Not faster, not easier, but most likely cheaper. And you get the printer for "free" after you're done.
I need to get myself a model to try. I'm looking at the Y-wing thinking, "How does that front piece connect to that neck looking piece, and how is that neck piece detailed. Is it just glued to it, or does it slide in at all." I know nothing about modeling but I've always wanted to try. But knowing that I know nothing is too intimidating.
In this video, for this particular model, Dave mentions that there is an aluminum armature (skeleton) that he attaches things on to. It's entirely possible that many of the pieces don't get "glued together", at least not structurally. The pieces probably get attached to the armature by screws or glue, then more and more get attached. They probably do get glued at the edges, but more to fill seams and ensure a good final look, but they are probably not used as the primary method of physical attachment/structure.
I've read a lot of the comments here, and it seems like most people are like "Screw this interview and what it's all about! Check out what's happening in the background!".
The plan is revealed! I knew Franks new workshop was too cool to just be a workshop. Who has a Multi Arcade Machine Emulator, & pool table in their workshop? I see him there in the background, schmoozing, being generally cool in his Hyneman Beret, and his friendly face. It's a Man-Cave... ... a man cave that you can deduct the tax from. Wp sir.
These things will become priceless in a few years, lets face it there won't be and furniture antiques because all our model furniture today is made from crap lol, also early game machines and original floppy's and cartridges
DeeL2003 LOL this comment makes me think back to my years of selling IT tech and software. Many men nerding out at events! And any hot (or even mildly hot) chick about...we ALL knew about it!
Some of it was justified, he was especially bad about talking over his interviewees in earlier videos and grabbing for whatever they were holding like some kind of tech Gollum. He's matured as a host, though. In the last six months especially.
Every time I see the original X Wing models, and i own several model kits, they don't look like any of the reproductions. The original models are more robust and the angle of the X wings is greater on the original models. Its more of an x, like this ----> X . All the reproductions are more like this ----> >< . And the wings are longer on the reproductions. They are more sleek. Why do they do this? I would like to see someone make a X Wing fighter that is true to the first movie. I get a different feeling when I see the original X Wing models. Because they are different.
Here now, you see - These are the True Geeks who love Star Wars. You don't see too many Nerdy Girls building Hobby Model X-wings. This has nothing to do with Sexism in the sense that Guys just like this stuff a lot more.
I am here to inform you that I recently bought all the insanity in the world.and was noting that you used some.cease and desist..until you have purchased the proper atachments..thars all
