Perspect Scale Modelworks

I haven't been faced with this yet but was wondering, if I screw up a paint job on a 3d printed body, how would I strip it? Do the usual products, purple pond, oven cleaner, brake fluid, Detol, etc., have an effect on the resin? Or is it easier to just print another body? Has anyone stripped a 3d printed body?

1983 Fleetwood printed from the Andrey Bezrodny file. 24" Daytons from the Revell Escalade on 3d printed tires made into Vogues. It'll be white roof, pearl white body, and burgundy interior.

Maybe the Merge function in 3D Builder might help.

I had an '86 coupe, black and burgundy interior. Nice car, roomy, drove nice, and stood out from the crowd. The ignition on the floor always tripped people out.

I've had success using a heat gun to straighten 3d printed parts. A hair dryer may work as well.

Nice looking Rover. The final result was worth the effort. I have this kit in the stash too. I've settled on adding aftermarket wheels and tires, seats, and roof rack. I just can't decide on a color. Yours looks great.

It really pops in the sun. Nice!

I can see why you were captivated. Looks really good.

That's crazy cool! Nice job.

It does look like a bullet train. It'd be nice if even half of that makes it to production.

I wonder why this wasn't available in the US.

Cool concept and great execution. I like the color. I've cleared Tamiya white primer before so now I'll try the gray.

No offense lowrider boys and girls but I think a big Caddy deserves at least 15" wheels.

Nice old Ford. Those weird cloud formations are telling me to drink more coffee .

Thanks David. The leading edge of the tailfin starts too far back. It should start just behind the door. This either adds space bet2een the door and rear wheel or just makes the body look to long. The hood and grill are too flat. He got the angle of the front bumper right but flattend the grill and hood.

Very cool. I really like the hanging wiring harnesses.

Outstanding

I say go for it. The proportions look OK. The 1/4 panels and trunk slope may be a bit off. There are no emblems on the body either. The interior looks correct. This is 2nd Bezrodny file I've printed. The first was the 73 Cutlass which is pretty well proportioned. I just printed his 83 Fleetwood and so far it looks good. Had to add emblems on that one too. Thanks again

Thanks Jeff. The hump is there, it's just so flat it's hard to see. One of the flaws with this file.

This is printed from the Andrey Bezrodny file. It started as a commissioned stock build, but after I realized the proportion issues the buyer pulled out. I decided to continue the build as a mild custom with lowered suspension, 24" wheels, and painted Tamiya Metallic Black. I used styrene strips for the up-top seams and hinge, and shortened the window opening. I added the emblems and scripts to the body using 3D Builder. I also added the Cadillac emblem to the wheels which were printed from the Pixel3D file. Using 3D Builder I changed the seats and door panels to look more like the 1970 interior and painted Cadillac interior gold by MCW. The sun visors were printed from the 3DVM file. Bumpers and grill are sprayed with Revell Chrome. Scratch-built exhaust tip. I could have spent more time sanding but I just wanted to get it done. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Almost?

That's a really, really cool.

Wow!

The wood steps top it all off.

He's pretty good about answering phone calls. I've talked with him a few times.
