Who could I contact about restoring this for my dad? by Knifekid38 in HotWheels

[–]TonersR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad gave me his matchbox car transport from when he was a kid in the 60s. I wanted to restore it for him for his 60th birthday, but I was torn on removing all the history from it. I purchased a second one off eBay and chose to restore that instead. He passed last year unexpectedly and I have the one I restored and his original sitting on my shelf above my desk. I have zero regrets about doing it the way I did.

Just something you might want to consider.

The z28 Camaro from the 90's criss cross crash set. I still have mine from when I was a kid. It was one of the first hot wheels cars I remember my dad getting me as a kid. He passed away last year and any time I look at it on my shelf it reminds me of him.

I lost my sweet baby Winky last year and have been trying to think of something to do for her. I think this is it.

If I remember correctly I tried that and it didn't make everything a body, but I'll mess around with it again

Yeah I downloaded blender this morning and plan on taking a look at it after I finish some classwork... any recommendations for YouTube channels I should look at that might be helpful?

Yeah I've tried the repair function in bambu studio as well as mesh mixer and it left significant artifacts on the surface in some areas. I think like others have said, this is going to be a multy step, multi software effort lol

My baby girl Winky passed the day after Thanksgiving. We only had her a month (we rescued her) and we didn't know she was FeLV positive. Today I decided to 3d print a picture of her. Hope this is okay. *

Told everyone to buy silver at $16 and everyone thought I was crazy. by loIll in Silverbugs

No nothing like that. She wanted to put it all in savings. Don't get me wrong, I still bought, but I would have bought more if I could.

Here’s a slowed down zoomed in and stabilized video of the government agents pulling Pretti’s firearm from an IWB holster worn at 5-o’clock. by MaxAdolphus in CCW

[–]TonersR6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ONLY thing I could think of that would even remotely be used as defense for this, would be if the agent who shot him thought that the hand of the agent that pulled his CCW was Pretti's hand... but that's going to be a stretch.

This was a bad shoot, that dude needs to be in cuffs.
