Gen Con is steadily approaching and I’ve got a few more irons in the fire before I go. I’m not sure what all I’ll finish up but we’ll give it a go and see what works before time runs out. Up first is a project I’ve had in mind for years now and I’m finally getting somewhere with it thanks to the help of Colton and Reese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we have a new pitchcar disc design that works for the intended F1 theme. I tried to model this many times but could never get the look right. It took Colton just a few minutes and he had it 90% there. Knowing Fusion 360 a little better, I was able to complete the model meshes he made to make them work in both 3D printing and CNC machining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually made car discs a while back but mine were blocky representations of mad max combat vehicles, done only because I couldn’t figure out how to sculpt the flowing F1 body. I still like my combat cars and use them for the annual PitchCar Deathrace (coming up next week) but it’s nice to see the vision finally come to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reese threw the 3D models through the printer for some quick prototyping and I saw some design flaws I had. I’m hoping to iron them out and see if we can get them to turn out more usable. I also have the CNC version to try out as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other PitchCar news, the series 7 kickstarter “Loop” is starting to ship in the US. I’m hoping to get before I leave so I can bring some exciting variation to the deathrace course but it looks like it will be very tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely I’m getting through painting HATE up. I was able to finish priming\/base coating all the figures from the core set. The bases are color coded for game play reasons so I taped each figure’s base with a little quarter inch stripe of painters tape to keep that element around without overwhelming the aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The large figures got the same treatment minus the painter’s tape since the base color doesn’t really matter for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m using Stynylrez airbrush primer (Ebony Flesh) for my dark base coat sepia theme. The core set ended up using a whole 2 oz. bottle, otherwise I would have gone on and finished the rest of the figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was a bit sloppy with the airbrushing and laid on the primer thick but when the minis dried out, the detail was still quite good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So glad I straightened out that axe. That would have bugged me to no end. I’m going to take a pretty spartan approach to painting these as I don’t want it to take forever. We’ll see how much time I’ll have before the rush to Gen Con makes all other work impossible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
