Pico Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Started with a 1/43d diecast, which I scanned and modified for 3D printing, then output at 1/24th scale. Also designed in Sketchup the oval grille, chassis plate and dashboard. The wire wheels and Nardi steering wheel were previously designed for another model. That's all printed also on my Anycubic Photon. Water slide decals designed in Inkscape and printed on an HP copier. Car was owned by Briggs Cunningham and driven by Bill Lloyd and Stirling Moss.

That looks terrific. People often say that our hobby may be dying, and it certainly has been looking that way, but then a technology like this comes along and opens a whole new door. Outstanding work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Really nice! This is the future of the hobby, scanning a model and then scaling it up or down, great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 In addition to your very impressive scale up you have built a beautifully built model of an interesting and historic car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Amazing work, I'm very impressed! If you had not said it was 3D printed I would have thought it was an official release! It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great deal of design work involved, but when you have developed those skills, you can make anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The promise of 3D printing is beginning to show great result. Beautiful job on it, very impressive. The possibilities are becoming endless/ Think about all of the possible variations on racing Ford GT's, Corvettes, Jag's, whow, the list goes on and on. Well done.

It's not difficult once you catch onto it. Here I have taken the mesh and added planes on the inside to give the model thickness, so it can be printed.

Bernard Kron Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I will never forget seeing your work when you, Bob Downie and several other of your mates from the Grand Prix Modelers Association came and visited us at the NNL West in 2016. All the models you all presented were exceptional in both significance of subject matter and execution, Your models in particular, from the Miller Golden Submarine through your stunning streamline masterpieces (the Figoni et Falaschi Talbot Lago and the Saoutchik Bugatti), have stayed with me both because of their significance as automobiles and their uniqueness in 1/24th scale. At the time I believe you were just getting started in 3D modeling and most of your models had been created largely by sculpting their bodies or the molds to make them. Now 3D gives you the tools to model these important cars in full detail (ir you choose) with accurately rendered hollow bodies. But the skill to "see" the body in 3 dimensions has always been your gift, along with knowing whic the important cars to model. This lovely OSCA is no exception!
