Looking for projects, what do you need 3D files for, or printed?

How about some 22.5 truck wheels that I can't seem to find in scale? I can't find good pictures of the Volvo one but the Kenworth one is easy to find...

Both of those are super easy. The bottom one looks like just an aftermarket truck rim. I've never seen the top one. Give me a few days and I will see what I can do.

I missed this one. I think I could do this. I have the Revell Chevy kits and will start there. 

Thank you all for the input. I enjoy a challenge and this will give me a few things to work on. I make no promises, but if I can make something useful and help others, it would be nice. 

 

I have the same hood let me know for pics or anything else

Just came across this thread and your work looks amazing. Just a couple of suggestions, how about an accurate engine for the AMT International Scout kit. I have a couple of pics I pulled off of the internet for reference.

I'd have to pull out my Scout shop manual to see if it has the dimensions for it. Also, I've been trying to find hubcaps that would match the stock ones off of my real world Scout so I could model it. Here's a pic of my real hubcaps for reference.

The engine would be a bigger task, however the hubcaps would be super easy. All I would need is the dimension of the tire that comes in the kit.

How about a couple types of Casale V-Drives? I could use some for some weird projects lol

Well, you asked for it. This is one version I was able to find a print for. It is a lot easier to work from prints then to work from pictures. At least from prints I can get the proportions and scale correct. Do I see a "Stubby Bob" in the future?

That is Exactly why I needed it! Lol

Now, how may I obtain such thing?

Well either Scott will make you one or he will have me produce them. Not sure the demand on these so if it's a one off he may do it. I do have a question though, how are you planning to couple this to an engine?

A little bit of what I like to call fabricobbling. Probably some evergreen round stock of varying diameters cut down to look like a flange. A bracket made from sheet styrene. Some rust and weathering, and viola!

Soooo how about some small block Ford Motorsport valvecovers next? I could use a bunch for my personal use and projects... here they are on a 351w I have waiting in the wings. Charles could probably even add em to the lineup on his SBF engines... You don't have enough variations yet do ya Charles? lol

I don't have a SBF yet, excluding the Coyote which I don't see that as an option or even worth considering. But this would be a good thing to put on a Windsor when that happens.

OK, The Casale V Drive is available Here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/casale-v-drive

Yes, it is free. Just go download it. However, you will need to scale it in your slicer as it is drawn full size. This way you chose what scale you want it in. 

There are several printing options out there for you, however if it is a real issue for you to get it printed, PM me and we can get something worked out.

I have a number of requests that I’d like please. I’d like the roll bar, bed mounted spare tire, front & rear bumpers, wheels, and the ‘82 to ‘90 grille and a Blazer rear bumper for the Monogram S10 kit. I’d want the wheels to work with the standard 4x4 tires that Revell uses in there Chevy GMC and full size Ford kits.

I have a Grill/Bumper ready for first print. I may have to print it and send it off to you to see if it fits. I know the valance may need some tweaks, but for the moment it is close. Right now it is straight up and down, but I know it has some contour to it, I just don't have a picture showing it.

Couple small part ideas for rigs and such.. 

What about the steps for on the corner of a trailer?

Or the "Brown" trailer manufacturer script for the BJ and Bear rigs being built?

Those steps would be easy if I knew what they are called so I can find some better pictures and dimensions. The Brown script is another story. Super easy to draw, a royal pain in the neck to try to print something that small. The printer will do it, but with the supports required it would be a challenge to keep them in one piece to get them glued on. I will try it though. I think I may need to use a more durable resin for this. 

Any idea on the size of the Brown logo? If those rivets are 1in apart then 5in would be a guess? If you know, please tell me, or I will guess at about 5-6in and play with that.

OK, steps. I may have to get some dimensions from a real step to get the scale spot on, but they are proportionally correct.

I thought he meant that box on the side, I was like how did he get that from the box. I looked like 5 times before I finally found that. Oh brother.
