StudioCreations Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I bought the Ferrari 312T4 Tamiya Model about 5 months ago, but one thing after another kept creeping into my schedule hindering me from revamping my TD Greeblies. Just this past week I finally found time to work on the blueprints and the hand modelling of the rectangular TD Greeblie.... The cylinder might need to be 1 mm longer, but maybe not. What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin-X Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks really good Jeff. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks, guys! If you see any issues with the part, speak up now. I am in scratch building mode this week and can adjust the part rather quickly if the eagle eyes of this group see something out of place. The more eyes on the issue, the better. ... to encourage people, FREE GREEBLIES for all who contribute positively to the conversation of the accuracy of the Greeblie in question!!!!! FREE GREEBLIES (both the rectangular and circle bits)!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 If you look along the bottom edge, you'll see some extra bits that aren't on your version. Otherwise, really nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Free greeblies? Yes Please! I don't know much about the finer details on ANY costume, did you mean free greebles for advice comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookieevader Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I looked at the price for a model kit online......i think they know the scout trooper community uses the piece because the price is jacked way up Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I looked at the price for a model kit online......i think they know the scout trooper community uses the piece because the price is jacked way up Yes and no. It's an older model kit (late 70's - early 80's) and at that scale, they're not super easy to come by in a complete form. I paid a bit for mine and I got a deal.

StudioCreations Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 The larger scale models are all this high priced. My KAwasaki 1100 was $175.00 usd and this Ferarri was $145.00 usd. Dart, I have seen only one other 1/12 312T4 model out there, a 'Protar" model I believe, but I went with the current Tamiya version. I couldn't afford both models at the time. Is there a big difference? I am thinking the fins on the left edge of the part are slightly different, but it could be jsut wear and tear on the parts themselves that make the heights different, and not the actual fresh-from-the-kit part.

Tristancraig Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Im not sure if its just my eyes - but on the top of the cylinder - in the on screen shot it looks like theres a flat spot, angling up - not sure if its a reflection of light, or just a chip off the front, but i dont see it in your piece Jeff, it seems to just be a perfect half cylinder. I could be just nit-picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Tristancraig... can you circle the area you are referring to in a photo and upload it to this thread? I am curious about this half cylinder you are seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristancraig Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Oh sorry Jeff. Miscommunication, your piece has the clean cylinder, it was the picture that Griffin posted that I was referring to the slanted/ flat part. Which was located at the top of the cylinder. Like I said tho, I wasn't sure if it was just lighting or a reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristancraig Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm just on a goofy not so smart, smart phone right now, I'll try and circle the spot on Griffins shot later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwattsup Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think Tristan's only talking about where there's paint weathered off of Jim's screenshot. I think your new greeblie looks great Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristancraig Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah like I said I'm just on a smart phone, so I can't zoom or inspect it. I figured if was just my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your new greeblie looks great Jeff Yep, that's exactly it. And, a closeup pic from the blu-ray too (notice it's on the wrong side). I think Jeff has got it nailed down.
