Hi guys,
Just wanted to post something I have been working on and see if there is any interest. Main reason though is I have to find a way to fund my hobby as of lately. Anyway, there will be more to come as this is just the start. Anyway, this is just a ammo crate modeled after the Mortar Defense Unit crate with a removable/workable 2-piece lid. Sorry for the mix of colors, as I ran out of the color I started with. I was surprised by the effects though and have some ideas for this in the future. This is the first print, as I need to rework the orientation of the crate itself, as one of the bottom edges is less than straight. Though the lid printed perfectly and works great. Any comments or questions are welcome. Thanks for looking, momaw nadon |

I would guess there's demand for V1 o-ring replacement crotches where the front won't break off.

I don't want to get into the repro market. This crate is 100% my own design and would fit in with any vintage/modern Joes.
Thanks though for looking, momaw nadon |

Up next is a Cobra relay/radio unit with foldable antenna and handset I did up. I based this one on the Joe cereal box cut-out. Though the antenna is based on nothing real, I tried to go for a cellular type look just on a smaller scale. I do have some cable attachment points on the antenna array and unit, though I haven't figured out the best way to add the cable to my liking yet. The handset will get a pigtail cable also once I figure it all out. The relay/radio will need to be sanded and possible seam fill, but I'm working to minimize all that.
Any comments or questions are welcome. Thanks for looking, momaw nadon |

Thank you. My next one I'm working on test print before committing a full job, If it works as wanted, I should have something to show in a day or so.
Are there anything you have in mind? On another forum, someone asked about trash/recycle can/container. Which I'm in the process of working out dimensions and getting something modeled up among other smaller projects. momaw nadon |

New update as this one is based on another Joe cereal box cut out. The Molecular Transformer. I modeled this one with lighting in mind with the smaller parts being clear. Not sure if there is room for a button cell within the unit, so designed a channel to route wires out the back to be connected to a power source. Might also model up a generator unit to house the battery, as in my original plans for it. The selection arrow turns and front door opens. Had some trouble with the resin I have in the printing, as it isn't really suited for mini models. The dome of the first print was super thin and turned into wet tissue paper during cleaning. Wound up needing to redesign the dome, as I over looked function in my model. I added the wire to the failed print though, to showcase that feature. Will update this one once I can get some better resin and if that doesn't work, might need to scale it up some.
Also did up some extras to make it more fun and that turned out really awesome. The gold bar looks great and also did some ones with Cobra logos. The stack of bars are all individual bars arranged. I think the star of this one is the pallet, as I was totally shocked by the detail that was able to translate into the resin. Might try making a few more different sized pallets now. Any comments or questions are welcome. Thanks for looking, momaw nadon |

This update is for micro vehicles. They are about the scale of a Joe toy in Joe scale. I did up a VAMP and HISS. The VAMP roll bar is super fragile, as if anyone knows of something to spray on resin to add durability, I'm all ears. Out of the eight I did of the VAMPs, only 7 printed without flaws and another two didn't make it upon removable of supports. I was planning to have the gas cans removeable, lol. Side note: great idea to use the flawed VAMPs though for a custom of someone customizing. All six HISS tanks printed just fine, though I think they are just a little bigger than should be IMO. Maybe I need to scale up the VAMP to it for added strength. I could print some in Classified scale also.
Any comments or questions are welcome. Thanks for looking, momaw nadon |
