Panavise Security Camera Mount. They are awesome and not the cheap junk you can end up with. I think someone here recommended them to me.
Soooooooo...this new Hasbro 6" scale snowspeeder

Hmmmm.....Acetone worked really well for me. I was using a paper towel and rubbed right off. You window saga has me wondering a bit. It brings up a small hurdle as you can see the clear part on the edges. Dremel tool to the rescue!
Not that I’m trying to stop anyone from making money, but I will definitely be producing a 3D model of the canopy, and when I do the file will be available for free on thingiverse. To be honest it should not [edit] be a complex model to make (famous last words) but I have been busy lately. I think I’ll probably get it done within a month, but don’t hold me to that.
Due to the way the canopy attaches I will probably model it so that you have to cut off the rear hinge part of the main canopy and glue that to the 3D printed resin part, because resin doesn’t flex like the existing plastic so if I printed the hinge part it would likely break when being installed. I don’t know how good the plastic is at being glued, but I could maybe make a recess in the printed part that would allow a thin piece of sheet styrene or metal to be inserted to strengthen it. I would also miss off the catches which keep the canopy closed at the front, as I doubt the resin print would survive the strain of being repeatedly opened and closed.
You are my new best friend. Could you offer a run for those of us that don't have 3D printers yet?
I used actual nail polish remover. It did nothing. Did you use that or straight Acetone?
On the canopy yes that is one of many problems. I was considering dremeling more, then laying thin pieces in the frame, etc.. Then I decided to wait as I knew one of our awesome members will do a 3D version.
to be honest I’m not sure it would be economical for anyone unless they’re in Europe, due to postage costs - but if there’s someone on therpf who’s willing to do the printing and posting stuff out for a reasonable price then I’d be happy for them to use the files.
Please post pics when you're do.

Will do and the name of the printing company was Shapeways IIRC. But it looks like they switched business models and no longer host others designs for sale.
I stand corrected. Got t new computer and didnt have the correct page saved...but yes they still have people selling their prints on the shapeways platform.
When I have the 3D model sorted I will take a look at the best way to make sure the people who want one of these can get one for a decent price. I know Shapeways can charge huge amounts for pretty simple stuff. I’d rather cut out the middle man if it will help people out
Yeah I’m just really wary of people being disappointed with the product! I normally make 3D models that I am happy with but that’s a different thing to other people being happy to pay real money for it. I have no interest in making money from this, but I also want to help out the community where I can.
This is a small bottle of brush paint. Will it work in an airbrush as is or does it need to be thinned?
I don't know much about working with an airbrush or airbrush paints. I have a good airbrush that I could not wait to get and it's been sitting in a box for several years.
