netsmithUK 484 Posted May 15, 2020 For no particular reason I had this idea bouncing around in my head for ages, so today I decided to build it. Ultimately I think its pretty pointless in its current state but it might lead to better things and possible body paint jobs? No promises Ever wanted to 'try out' Willy helmets? This might keep you entertained for a few mins https://www.tamiyaclub.com/wildwillyhelmet.asp?rt=f 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netsmithUK 484 Posted May 16, 2020 Fixed this for everyone now - left some code in before that meant only I could see it. Ooops. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/wildwillyhelmet.asp?rt=f 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Ax 9149 Posted May 18, 2020 That's awesome, even if I don't have a Willy to paint it's still a good way to throw colours together to make sure they work. TBH it's a fun way to kill some time Now you need to add a new colour palette that contains all the TS paint colours accurately matched, effects for metallic and lacquered finishes, new templates so we're not stuck with the same three-band design and a 3D preview so we can rotate Willy around. Oh, and templates for Tamiya's entire body catalog. Oh, and an Export option that produces an SVG file so we can print masks directly onto self-adhesive paper. Off you go (only joking, of course ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off you go (only joking, of course ) ha! You forgot optional uploadable decals, so you can drop them on and position. Based on this one taking 18year to produce then I'll get at least one of those features done by 2038. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I did consider that, but thought it would be asking too much... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
