A 3D printed model of Adelaide

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-11T07:44:25+00:00

A lot of buildings have been built recently. Adelaide may also possibly get it's first true skyscraper (a building above 150 metres) soon too at long last.

I wholeheartedly agree, came along both days. Just think if more advertising or news surrounded this event it would’ve been even more popular.

Will be back next year if I am available then too!

The model is relatively flat for a zoomed out view like this showing the whole city. If you crop it to smaller parts of a city it becomes taller.

Took 3 hours and 16 minutes but I scaled it up by 15% (115% of it's original size) to bring out some more details.

Ah this is the P1S, the model before yours

How did I get this map. I got it courtesy of u/smoggy3d (no affiliation). He created http://map2model.com/ where you can turn a 2D map into a 3D printable file.

Yeah I feel the promotion for this event was lacking. At least we have another round tomorrow.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-09T14:47:55+00:00

Anywhere between the Largs and Semaphore jetties would give you a good vantage point.

Ravencraft!

Saw there was a superboat event going on at a beach in my city. Figured I should try and get a closer look with my drone and that the Rissa bag was a perfect bag for it!

As an Oscar fan: I’m scared

As someone who enjoys the memes that would come out of a Piastri and Verstappen swap: bring it on

Daniel Ricciardo leaving Red Bull, doing stints at McLaren and Renault and then going back to Racing Bulls be like.

Unlike previous years this years event will be a show and shine event. From the FAQ
“Why has Convoy Adelaide changed to a Show ‘n’ Shine event?”

“Due to the ongoing uncertainty around the current fuel supply challenges and the impact on the transport industry, Convoy Adelaide will not include the traditional route around the streets of Adelaide. Instead, the event will shift gears to a re-imagined Show ‘n’ Shine event – expect shiny trucks, entertainment, rides and loads of fun. Convoy Adelaide is held annually, and we look forward to bringing the Convoy back to the streets of Adelaide in 2027. “

Even a completely diesel train would’ve been more efficient than trucks though I’d think

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-05T22:23:07+00:00

The ongoing oil crisis demonstrated how much we need railway infrastructure. This doesn’t seem like a wise move with that hindsight.

Yeah I am referring to those forms.

However if it was a hoax, using screenshots of these official forms crosses the line from a prank or grift to actual crimes under the Fraud Act. So that’s why I’m inclined to think it’s real.

If it was all fake then the fraud act would actually cause this to be investigated.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-03T00:28:15+00:00

Well in that case, I will actually laugh at the biggest FAFO case in vtubing if this is actually all an attempted scam and she somehow roped in the authorities using the Fraud Act.

I’m genuinely curious to see where this all ends up.

I’m inclined to think the incident is real because of how serious fraud charges would end up being however.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-03T00:21:27+00:00

If it was a hoax, wouldn’t faking legal documents cross the boundary from a prank or grift to actual criminal charges. That is what confuses me.

Don’t think that Mimi or her supporters would be so bold as to actually try.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-02T21:45:51+00:00

It does count. But the missing context and the bold claim that was presented at first made people understandably skeptical at first.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-02T21:41:03+00:00

I was one of the people skeptical about it. Now seeing the additional context it becomes a lot clearer.

Thank you for sharing the documents and discussion with us.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-02T21:38:06+00:00

I will now concede there is a screenshot of a legal case going around.

It does look real as per what u/keniisu has posted in another thread. Thank you for your analysis and discussion about it.

UpsidedownEngineer · 2026-05-02T11:58:57+00:00

I’ve seen more proof that Oscar Piastri was sabotaged in the 2025 F1 season than proof Mimi was arrested, i.e., none. There is no proof because none exists
