Photos are a blessing and a curse sometimes! The flaws show up so much! It's all about the learning curve, though. Little things like you mention won't be a problem next time around!😁 -

That's some good work! Glad to see some different kinds of scratch building. -

That is a hard thing to do, especially if there are continuous pieces that are separated by the wheel wells and cab. Had the same thing with the decals I did for the Pierce cab. Ended up taking the stripes off the rear doors to re-apply the decals. Just a little difference is noticeable for sure. -

I'm fortunate enough to have an ALPS printer for decal work. Not only does it print gold and silver but it prints white also. The front of the Pierce has some gold lettering with a drop shadow that was done simply by copying the gold part and changing the color in the graphics program. The printer knows which colors to select based on what is on the screen. The fluer de lis and "Pierce" on the grill were also done on the printer. -
Acceptance of 3D printed models?
Chariots of Fire replied to jdhog's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Like Ace says. Just another tool in the toolbox. Can anyone explain the difference between a 3D printed model kit from one that came from injection molding that came from someone making the mold to begin with? Each came with an abundance of pre-kit work on somebody's part. -
