For a 71-72 Chevelle Wagon....$350 or so....being in 1/8 scale.

WHERE??? Interested in one!

That looks pretty cool. Mike

And you printed that with a MakerBot of all things?

I have to repeat what everyone else has said about those wheels....for being a first timer and not having any idea what you were doing, you figured it out quick! That is some nice machining you did Mike

Good goggley goo....this is some mighty fine craftsmanship!!! I am in awe. Mike

Actually it plays a huge part. The bigger the scale, the more detail that HAS to go into it or it is glaringly obvious it is missing. I'm finding this out building in 1/8 scale after moving up from 1/24 and 1/25. The work also has to be at a higher level because the smallest imperfection stands out too. Kinda wish I had followed Wingrove's example and built in 1/15 scale instead. He's the only reason I got back into model building. Mike

Even though the OP was from 2010, it makes me grit my teeth when I see the words "move over Mr. Wingrove" in a sentence. It usually ends comparing Mr. Wingrove's craftsmanship with something completely different and nothing like what Mr. Wingrove does. This post was not an exception. Remember that Mr. Wingrove works in 1/15th scale. These cars are 1/8 and 1/5 and there is a team of craftsmen making them where Mr. Wingrove does most of his own work. At one time he farmed the plating out and I think that was about it. The cars in the link are very nicely done. Far better than I could ever hope to do in 10,000 years. They are in a class of their own. Mr. Wingrove doesn't need to move over for anybody. Mike

She is doing great! Keep going!

Don't stop!!! Make sure she knows we are all looking forward to progress. Mike

This is totally insane! Who would of ever thunk you could turn a Mustang into a Vega of all things??? Looks great so far! Mike
