My babe got me some new slippers while i was laid up in the hospital. Ruptured appendix. No fun.

A quick Google lens search confirms this is an original picture.

She should've got you some matching underwear.

Hope you feel better!

Diving in the shallow end head first. Gonna be tricky finding a body for this guy, not really a big JDM fan. Recommendations are welcome!

Really not sure. Possibly a pickup truck or old American muscle

@Chubaka tough choice between the datsun and the tundra!!

@Chubaka tough choice between the datsun and the tundra!!

I guess have a new build and a retro build. Only logical decision.

Check the dimensions, but here's another tundra.

I think I'm gonna go with the datsun, mainly because it explicitly lists the team associated in the fitment lol

Gonna do some browsing over the next couple days but I'm thinking thats the one. The only thing that could beat it out would be like an 02 silverado or a 15 sierra to match my truck

Hpi had a silverado body. 01 or 02. Years ago proline had an 05 silverado.

Here's the hpi but its discontinued.

Your scx10ii you can lengthen and get this silverado. Might be able to vinyl cut gmc out to stick over it. Years ago I made a sierra. Had a 2007 silverado I cut the grill out on and put mesh in. Then i took the gmc sticker and put it on lexan and cut it out. I then hot glued it in place.

I didn’t buy it, so I don’t know if this counts. My dad has developed quite the hobby for 3D printing and has collected quite a few printers. I told him if he wants to sell on to let me know and he told me to take this one. Wouldn’t let me pay him for it… “it’s worthless” according to him.

Flashforge Adventure 3. Not the best thing according to him, but free is free and I’m excited to play around with it. I ordered filament that should be here later this week. What should I print first?

A 'World's Best Dad' coaster?

Not only the best dad, but the coolest dad. I don't know very many dad's with a small army of 3D printers in the basement. I'd say that is pretty cool!

Problem is I think he'd enjoy printing it himself more. Maybe this new found hobby will spiral into me making 3D models for him so he can save some cash. This new PC is definitely powerful enough for some good modeling software.
