I did try making some united decals for the 120 but my decal paper was not good
will proly give it a shot again sometime soon with decals bought from somewhere

I would definitely buy like four or more e120s for United

Sure thing! I’ve been waiting for United express releases from 3Ddesigndeck and Gemini, so this would also help a lot. Two of my three airports have substantial United Express operations so getting the E120s is essential

I decided to print out the 120 today (i didnt use the correct nozzle so its a bit wonky) but i believe the general shape looks good. here is the sample (i will have a better sample done soon!)

i feel lik i also mightve scaled this one wrong.
Ive also realized the photo makes the model look really bad but trust in the process the final sample will look better.

That makes complete sense. The residue or fuzz that printers have kinda make it look grainy but I’m sure with refinement that can be fixed. Second a Unicon livery E120 is out from you ill buy like four

Yeah, if i use my 0.25mm nozzle which is for miniatures, it will look wayyy better, or the second option is to use my resin printer but I dont have the full setup for that one yet, havent had time to make it.
is the unicon livery the merger globe?

This is my own new build, based on the Isuzu trucks that are often used at airports in mainland China.

Yes, it’s also the easiest to make

I see.
I will likely be purchasing the decals for this soon as the general shape of the 120 is accurate (i think?)

You ship internationally, correct?

 

[TheEpicBirb]

You ship internationally, correct?

Yes, I do.
I currently have Canada Post added back to my shipping services, but incase they do go on strike I will have to remove them and then that would make UPS and Fedex the only options (they are expensive )

works for me, If international shipping is too expensive I have family in Canada that can deliver it to me

These look amazing! I missed this message before so apologies for that.
What program do you use to model?
And what printer is this?

I had a specialized OEM light curing factory print it for me. Used the material they provide for printing Gundam specifically. I modeled this one in Cinema 4D, then exported the STL and fixed the wrong faces with the help of Bambu Studio.The original plan was to have movable structures, but 400 scale was just too small, and after adding on the details it was abandoned and only fixed ones could be made.

In the meantime, I approached two businesses for testing, one was a private studio, but the machine used by the private studio was the HEYGEARS Reflex, but he failed (in my opinion, it is the best machine in terms of light curing). However, the factory side was successful and I think it depends on the person operating it, the factory side feels more experienced!

I see. I've never heard of Cinema 4D before, I'll go check that out when I have time.

Interesting. I would love to visit one of these factories to see how it works some day!

Re-designed my Beechcraft King Air 350 model, the old version did not have aerials, was significantly rougher, and had blocky landing gear. Do not mind the livery, that was for testing things.

I will be releasing this first in 1:200 on the new version and 1:400 on the old version, and I'm open to suggestions for it!!
