Test print of the 38 Delehaye.

I built my first model in 1951. It was a Guillows Biplane. In 1952, I built 6 Highway Pioneer Pioneers cars. They were the original ones before Revelle bought them.

As I have said, the detail is good. Actually, it's excellent. The resin was made to print game figures so that it wouldn't break if dropped.. It has to have good detail.

Phrozen RPG resin is not brittle. An emblem printed using this resin could be bent into a U shape and not break. It prints very detailed.

It can only produce what it sees. It would need to have multiple reference views to do something with detail. I used the side view of a fuel pump which only shows one view.

Tried it. It's not there yet.

I got the final Delehaye 1935 ms coupe files from Dan. I've been working on getting them ready to print. Here's where I am in the progress so far. I've got 95% of the mobility back from my fractured wrist am good to go.

Update on the 38 Delehaye.

This will be my last post on this thread for at least 8 weeks. I have fractured my right wrist and unable to use it. The 57 Dodge and 58 Plymouth have been painted and chrome applied. The tail end assembly on the 315 hydra has been roughed in. The last pic is my wrist. I turned 80 y.o. last month.

Use Blender. highlight the line option to the left on the tool bar at the top. High light two opposing lines on each layer. Press the f key and a face connecting them will be mad. Continue until it's done. Set face orientation to make sure there aren't any reverse faces.

This is the one for the 59-61. I'll be creating one for the 383 in my 59 DeSoto Adventurer project. I couldn't say when.

I do the frames for my 3d printed cars and use a frame chart. The only 60's Chrysler product I have in full size is the 60 Dodge. Here's the frame chart.

Just a few things done on the Pontiac engine. Finished the oil pan and went to work on finishing the timing chain cover. Then I finished the body work on the 57 Dodge Custom royal D500 convertible and started painting it. Also , did the same on the 58 Plymouth Belevedere. Also did some to the trans.

Some more done on the Pontiac engine. Added the oil canister and mounting bracket. fixed the sides and started on the oil pan. Finding reference pic's for this engine is scarce. I have to get what ever I can find to use. I did a bit more on the hydro trans.

Updates for the 1938 Delehaye 135 MS and the Pontiac engine. I fixed the front corner, side and valve cover as pictured. Also, I started GM's controlled-coupling hydromatic transmission. It was produced from 1956 through 1964. Pontiac called it the Stratoflight in the begining and Super HydraMatic later. Olds called it the Jetaway and Cadilllac the 3215 Hydramatic. The file is still a work in progress.
