Arms Corps Models

Been having a little play in a new CAD program.
It is very difficult to say the least and I would be up S**t Creek without a paddle, if it were not for the power of You Tube.

Anyway, I have been approached by an RSL to resurrect one of my old kits so it can be built by one of Australia's very top modelers to be placed on permanent display.
This RSL has a few members that have a close association with the new acquisition of the ASLAV-25 (ARN16310) , at the Australian War Memorial. **

My ASLAV kit back in the day was based on this car along with 16302.
Both ASLAVs were part of SECDET VIB at the time.
A few of the old moulds will need to be fixed up (or replaced with 3D printed parts), but for the most part I have a couple of kits for him to play with.
However, the mould for the Michelin XML tyres has gone lahlah.
That left me with one option, draw and print it.

Printed parts image added.

This was a very quick print. 0.05mm layers and solid. I could not for the life of me keep the drawing manifold once I hollowed out the wheels. So they stayed solid.
They will be printed again, this time on Mother Superior at 0.01mm and eventually cast.

Now, you may be wondering, "when can we get a new ASLAV-25 from ACM"? Sorry, but ya gunna have to wait. Too many other jobs that need to be finished before I throw myself down those stairs.

**See my post a couple of weeks ago.

Arms Corps Models will be offline for a couple of days, so I can work out this new printer.
Here's hoping it can do the same, if not better work than the Yellow Princess and Goddess.
The M7 machines, while good printers, just can not do the really fine detail of my 35th scale kits. They are great for the 1/16th however.

Big post day today team. Thanks for that.
One quick thing, if you pay to my bank account, please add your name as the reference.
Makes it a bit easier for me to get your kit out.

Cheers Jason

All of the new parts.
If you have ACM 277027 1/35th M1A2 SEP V3 (Australian), this addition is free. Just pay post and I will get it out to you.
These parts are now included in every SEP V3 kit.

They might be old machines and only have a 6k resolution, but the work they can push out is sensational.
Even the Lynch pin worked!
M1A1/A2 side skirt hinge. 3.8mm wide.

And the Photon M3 Plus printers are back in action.
Dante (Machine 1) has a new screen.
Melb POS (aka Machine 2 who has been a troublesome printer since day 1) is now no more, and has been relegated to be used for parts. Finding parts for the Photons M3 Plus printers is now near impossible.
For the kids playing at home, you may remember the "Yellow Princess", (the first M3 Plus I bought) well, she is back with a whole new screen cannibalized from Melb POS.
Full services done on both machines.
Both machines also have brand new FEPs.
Exposure tests have been completed.
Test prints done.
And we are back into production.
That leaves the "Yellow Goddess" still waiting for a new screen. And the two M7s are to be used for the 1/16th kits only as they have a hard time doing the 35th kits.

New screen and screen protector fitted and tested on Machine 1.
Print test to go.
Then replace screen and main board on Machine 2.
And while I am at it, new FEPs all round.

To all of my customers,

I would like to take this moment to offer an apology to each and every one of you.
The time it has been taking me to get the instructions finished for the M1A2 SEP V3 has been unacceptable.

I was so keen to get the kit out at QMHE, and was thinking the instructions would be quick and easy. Oh how wrong I was.

So many of you have voiced your frustration, and listened to my excuses, and for this I can only give an apology, again.

The instructions are an integral part of my whole kit production process and helps me identify where parts of the kit need to be improved / corrected / replaced.
I have never produced a kit before without the instructions prior and wont be doing it again that way.
Announcing amendments to the original release and still not having instructions completed, should not be the way I work.
It just pi**es customers off and causes a loss in sales.

Since releasing the original update, I have added the barrel, corrected 3 other parts, and today I have found more issues with the RFM kit that I can not help but correct. At last count, I have added another 18 parts to the kit. These parts will also be in the Polish version.

Some say they don't care about the new parts, "just give me the instructions". Thats fine, I still have to add the parts. It's what I do and why you guys buy my kits.
Adding and amendment to my kits not unusual for me. New information comes to hand, or a better technique comes along to make a more accurate kit, etc. But, without instructions, it's pretty much useless.

Please bare with me. I have now come to hate this kit, (please Mr Dragon produce a SEP V3!!), but I want you blokes to have the best kit possible.

To all those customers who have already bought a SEP V3 kit, please get in touch if you want these additional parts (sigh) and I will happily send them to you (all you will need to fund is the postage).

Cheers Jason

PS, this post has been amended, after an amendment to an amendment, after a change to an amendment.

1/35th F88 SA2 test print.
This one was drawn in 2014 and has been sitting on my hard drive ever since. It needs work.
It was printed once by Oakleaf in France, but never went into production under my label.
I have had a couple of requests about the F88 Austeyr family, so I will be producing the F88, F88 SA1, SA2, Carbines and GLA versions. I will also add the F89 (3 versions) some time soon. Oh and the Mag 58 (2 versions, maybe 3).
As for the EF-88, the ones from Grey Fox are sensational and you should buy them direct.
Cheers.
