I was wondering this as well. At first I thought the images were taken from the Galleries button at the top of the page, but doesn’t look like it when I scroll thru the collection. Aaron?

Hey ph2t, good to see you posting some pics in the gallery:) Should have new pics up very soon. Still smoothing out some edges etc…

[Impreza]

hmm.., these or the new tanks??? Maybe both:)

Thanks for the review ph2t. With three settings on the controller, what does the third do?

[Impreza]

Trash, thought you might like these:) Ph2t isn’t that always the way:(

really depends on what you want to do. check out the dremel site to get an idea of what all the accessories do. Then practice on something less valuable to see how the bit acts when you use it (speed etc). Then you are off to the races. Someone told me when I started to us the dremel to let the dremel do the work and don’t force it.

btw I used the disk (#420 to cut a bit in half-may be too big for what you want to do?)

[Impreza]

sry should have said make sure car is secure when cutting, but not crushed:) Ditto on the glasses. The mod may look better if you can’t see it but life will kindof suck.

stick a clear super perfection chassis on it for the underbody lighting effect:)

np, how is the site going (http://www.xmodoz.tk) any pics yet?

I would probably use a vice or something else to hold the bit in place when you cut it. Then you can just worry about the dremel and not the bit. How small engravers ph2t? Want try and use these for details but not sure if I can’t do better job with file?

H-R, congrats on the wedding. I have no advice atm but would love to see pics of your work.

clear nail polish??? Most of the clear coats I have used (only 3) have taken their sweet a** time to dry:( Panda to me seems like the best person to ask when it comes to paint Q’s.

congrats, I didn’t have a clue when I first got it. But went to http://www.dremel.com and searched for projects that were simular to stuff I wanted to do on a bit and just went trial and error. For a lot of the sanding work (body modification stuff) I tried to hone my skills on a block of wood first, just to get used to the bit I was using on the dremel. Really I have only used #420 to cut bodies, #408, #432, #431 and #438 to do rough and fine sanding/shaping (usually on the plastic/epoxy/putty bodies). And haven’t yet but will probably try #108 for engraving? There is loads more I could be doing I know but like you am just not sure where to start. Most if not all the recomended speeds for each of the accessory attachments given above suggest a speed for work on different media. I usually follow the one given for plastic first and adjust accordingly.

I have since started non-bit related projects with the dremel:) as it really is a cool little tool.

Look at my members gallery. The focus I did the majority of the sanding using a #408 drum, then went in and handsanded to smooth the edges (really saved about 2 hours of handsanding time). More bodies coming very soon. Will post in members gallery when I have pics. All will have had the dremel used on them, except the straight paint jobs.

that is so bad they should lock you up;)

Looks nice. One Q? did you hand paint the windows or did you re-tape and spray? Can’t tell from the pic.

[Impreza]

lol…

[Impreza]

Will have some more pics up shortly… Been a very busy bee:)

[Impreza]

yes digi cams are nice:) Did you know they have disposable digital cameras now?

[Impreza]

yes nice work on the front grill. Are you sure you haven’t done this b4;) Hey Oldtamiyaphile, what about that subaru baja? Would that qualify as an ute?

[Impreza]

would love to get the enzo body:)

[Impreza]

will have to dl the demo and try it out. Have played nfs 3 and porsche unleashed b4.

Smp, I believe I used a Auldey clone axle and it fit without too much adjustment to the pullback rims. I would use an epoxy to fill the rim’s holes. Depending on the dry time of the epoxy (usually fast or slow) I would let it harden to a putty like consistancy and then re-mount the rims back onto the axle. Use a spacer (I would precut a piece of wood to the correct width-measure against an intact axle) having the rims stradle the wood until the epoxy sets fully. Turn over the axle on the piece of wood during to make sure the wheels are balanced. I wouldn’t use the bit chassis for this (although it should work) because if the wood is square it will help line up the wheels and should give you a more true read.

I guess if you have a drill press, let the epoxy harden fully and drill away;). Anyone know what size drill bit to use?
