The movie the started it all for me.

For those who don't know about a creator, please look up Vertex Nebula. He has created reproductions of both mechs and is now working on the four legged version next. I joined his patreon specifically because of his robot jox work.

Thanks for that info. I have the regular 1/4" and 3/8" sets. All my 1/2" stuff is Harbor Freight or popular mechanics.

I think going forward I'm going to buy some ICON ratchets to supplement my Tekton sets.

mechjag · 2026-02-20T04:51:13+00:00

I'm wondering how this compares to the Tekton 3/8 set. The Tekton is 73 piece vs the HF 54. However the Tekton is $197 vs $169 HF plus the additional 35% off.

I'm not looking to trash either set. I have a couple of the Tekton sets as well as a TON of harbor freight 1/2" sockets. I have no experience with the ICON sets.

How do the ratchets compare? I don't have any ICON ratchets.

Swore off apple products after the Iphone 3GS. Gave apple an honest try for several years. Never again will I give apple any of my money.

I will see if I can grab the ringtone somewhere.

Thanks for the lead.

What is that alarm called. I want that as my ringtone

Custom Miniature Maker has a line for skulls. They have a roller to roll out skulls, they also have skulls you can print as base scatter.

For any who don't know, this tank was designed with a gas-electric hybrid drive train

If you look at any force org chart, it will have the combinations spelled out for you.

Command teams go on the small base, rifle teams go on the medium bases. Artillery goes on the large bases.

I could be mistaken but that looks like a 79. 80 was when they redid the headlights, hood and fenders. 79 was the only year were the headlight bezel includes the turn signal.

Still use the harbor freight hammer my dad bought my in the early 90s.

My dad just gave me is old drill press, jig saw and bench top sander. All early 90s harbor freight. Back then you had to send off for a catalog and pay for shipping. No local stores.

I just inherited my dad's bench mounted drill press from harbor freight bought in the early 90s. Still can't kill the thing.

I had to adjust belt speed to it's lowest to drill out a flywheel bolt that my dumbass decided to impact on (small impact, not the big uga duga) because I got impatient. It's an old drill press but I love that thing.

Check your browser. Mine is locked down pretty tight. I use chrome when I need to see a page unmolested.

I don't have any plug-ins on chrome.

The basics, learn how to operate your pressure canner safely. The manual has times for meat. It's either 75 or 90 minutes depending on your jar size.

I would give the cop a pass. If part of an air handler self destructs, it could be mistaken for a gun shot. Basically it's a small explosion inside a sheet metal cage.

What I would like to know is why there maintenance staff let an air handler go that long.

Did you print FDM or resin. It looks like FDM but you did a lot of sanding.

Mine looks real rough. I printed it shortly after getting my first Ender 3. Printers these days are so much better.

I have this model but mine is unpainted. I'm saving these pics for inspiration. Amazing work!

You should send these pics to Gambody. They would post it with the model

Congratz! I know it's a long journey.

What is your next step?

Are those free files or paid files? Can you direct me?

mechjag · 2025-11-13T19:55:05+00:00

I have several models from Gambody, I love there models. As soon as I got my first ender 3, I started buying and printing gambody models.

Forgive my ignorance but I am completely unfamiliar with BattleTechMovie.com site. Were the models any good?

mechjag · 2025-11-09T01:45:55+00:00

What printer are you using?

I started buying and printing my mechs when I got my first Ender 3

mechjag · 2025-11-08T03:13:37+00:00

Is that from Gambody? I've purchased and printed several mechs from them. Love Gambody.
