Thanks Carl! Let me tell you, those *&$^* stripes have been a bane to my existence, nothing seemed to work out well, until this final attempt, definitely wrapping this build up over the Christmas break

Thanks Kenny & Brian! Work does continue, mostly there has been major work which does not translate to photos, like thickening of narrow body sections & modifications which make a difference for making molding/casting, which has been a "steep" learning curve for me

Finally had to paint the stripes on, and final assembly still requiring quite a lot of little under body mods to make sit down right Drilled through resin tires/wheels and into base of diorama, and ran wire looped through, including one around transmission tunnel cross brace (molded part of chassis) which will hold car to base securely Finishing the last of details for final (finally!) assembly

Awesome work Jason, looks great, bravo!!

Thanks Cesar!

Thanks Kerry & Pat Tower completed, and lateral spring with upper spindle portions (steerable hubs to fit into), and separated shocks will allow to be separately painted during build Comparison to photo of tower + spring assembly More small parts being ready for molds

Those both look great, I like the colours!!

Great colours, looking good!

Looks crazy, luv it, can't wait to see it in paint!

Cool build Jonathan, looking forward to more!

Stance of the Mustang looks good, Nice Bee too, bravo!!

No problem, this is how the same tires looks painted (photo a bit dusty)

in 3D printing something 1/24 scale, there are a few variables first being of course the rendering, it could be as complex as you'd like, but may not translate to the printed object, as printers are limited to (depending on the specific machine) a degree of resolution in some cases, it actually helps to compromise to degree of detail which is possible to print, and sometimes either increase or decrease the feature so that it "appears" well in the final result, as some fine details simply disappear in the making second, the material chosen can be a limiting factor, I prefer to always use the finest material choice possible, with shapeways that is their FUD, an ultra-fine material third is printing direction, this is not something you can presently control easily if outsourcing, like with shapeways, they will print in any one of the three axis, depending on the technician who processes the order the reason is that there will definitely be a grain in the final item, that is where a degree of finishing prep is required, sometimes simply a layer of primer to fill in the grain steps texture, and why I always choose the finest material to print fourth is the machine & provider, many home based 3D printers are a work in progress, and though some produce fine results, you'll often find it is through much effort & trail to achieve, where as the market place 3D printing vendors have of course higher quality printers, but trust me when I say that they are definitely NOT all created equal, in pricing, service, or especially shipping I've tried a few now, and still for ease I use shapeways, at least until someone can beat or match them in price & service this example is a 1/24 tires, designed to the limit of their resolution, and printed in FUD material

Given the basic tower and lack of detail from donor kit, started constructing a multi piece front suspension tower to replace, with accurate dimension and detailing Multi layer spring assembly constructed, and most of new tower built, including correct off-set shock mount arms, more detailing needed yet

Thanks Henry, yes much more yet on this project

Sounds weird, but inside the common light bulb is a coiled element wire, which is nearly perfect (of course be very careful)

That's a whole new gas guzzler LOL Looks seriously cool, nice!

Cool concepts, that drawing looks great Bill Somewhat Jag D-type style, but I could see it being mid-engine even?

Wow, the car looks great Pat! the model when finished looks like it will be equally as great, nice workmanship, bravo!!

Whoa, that's very cool Kenny ...the engine looks fantastic, bravo!!

Looking awesome!

Looks good, lots of added detail to that interior!

Super clean, looks great Jason!

Crazy ...looks like fun!
