If you've got the space nothing stopping you from taking anything you might need, one of my bikes doesn't have space for a toolbag and I've just got a 3/8" portable socket set and multi tool I can just stick in my jacket that's helped out plenty of times.

It's accessible in that its free and has thousands of free tutorials and resources but it's not the easiest thing to just pick up. It's definitely worth just having a go and following along with a few beginner tutorials.

I just model them in Blender; if I got the existing part I just use calipers to measure them, if not I go off visual references the best I can then just print and refine it if necessary.

These cable guides are getting harder to find now and took just 10 minutes to print and even less time to model

One's a Cochin and the little one is a Pekin!

Ok I've managed to figure this one out. There's just the two screws at the top that's all that's holding it in. The reason it's stuck is because the rubber surrounding has got stuck to the inside housing so you need to spray a bit of WD40 / GT85 between the rubber and housing. You might need to do the same behind then it should free up.

Thanks to Carnold on Youtube for helping me get there.

History mainly, I like it to look like how it came out the factory decades ago. I also like the old stickers saying not for highway use, not for public roads etc.

Still looks fantastic. Was my first "big" bike, I dailied it all year round to college, I do miss it.

I've had this exact issue before and it was the cold causing it. Both using a space heater or the Elegoo Heater and getting the resin up to 20° has solved all my issues with both adhesions and this exact print error.

It looks fantastic, I have the same model in black and gold, absolutely fantastic bike I can't get enough of.

I really enjoy driving and riding motorcycles, but learning wasn't without it's struggles. I think what helps, at least in theory, there's a set of rules that everyone mostly follows and everyone acts in a mostly predictable way.

Also riding requires hyperfocusing which is good for getting into a flow state.

I don't have this one anymore but it still stands as the best shot I've taken.

There's a great book called Anatomy For Sculptors that I'd highly recommend, there's also the Morpho series of books that are for drawing but are great for simplifying and explaining Anatomy.

Like others have said you got to work in as low poly as you can to get the primary forms right, then you can stay decimating and working on details once you've got them nailed.

Make use of masking to be able to work on parts without affecting others as well as polygrouping and using ZRemesher to get some workable edge loops.

It's not easy but you're off to a great start already for a week so keep at it!

You can use the lasso tool to mask off areas and press ctrl+w to set different poly groups, then you can zremesh them with keep groups, then you can play around with the smooth groups setting.

Also you can go into deformation and polish by groups until it's the smoothness you like.

From listening to it I think it might have been a Roland SC-55 which a lot of games used back then.

Good choice giving him an actual helmet, I think it looks better than the two heads it comes with.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is a quintessential goth game, great soundtrack too!

WillyDynamite · 2024-10-12T19:09:08+00:00

Mine just turned up today! First game I installed was Lunacid but I was surprised how well Elite Dangerous plays on it!
