Ah how I love those Darts....Mopar,or no car.Its that simple.Great job,and I really like the color.

Wow,great job all around.

What a mean looking Camaro.Great job on both car and truck.

I'm trying something new.Thanks to Shapeways 3D printing.They make a great 66 Pro mod Nova.The quality is excellent.Ive gotta prep the body,and thanks to some other builders on this website,they explained how...Un like resin,or plastic. Thanks guys

I have a friend who is been trying to restore a 75 Malibu,and turn it into a Laguna S3 replica.He's got a nice worked Chevy big block sitting on a stand in his garage,just waiting to be dropped in the car.Unfortunately the body,and interior have a long way to go.They are pretty cool cars.

Click on his name,to go to his profile,and then u can send him a PM ....I think lol..

Thanks Richard.Yea I'm no expert model builder.But we'll see what happens.

I tell ya,I do believe Shapeways sells this body in several different scales,with different body options.I should've started with a smaller one.?

Yea I love the body too.Just something about the 66,and 67 Novas.They simply make great race cars.Yea,I figure I'll go up to 800 paper.I tell u though,these 3D bodies are real hard to get right.I hope I can build it without screwing it up.Thanks for the suggestion.Then I'll do 1,000.After that,we'll see what happens.Ha ?

So Im still sanding this this 3D printed Pro mod Nova.I've been both wet,and dry sanding the car so far with 400 grit only.I think I'm going to start sanding with a smoother grit.Any suggestions on the grits I should use? Thanks

La da da la la da..?Just doing some more sanding.And one thing I can tell ya,it ain't easy.Man I wish this body was made of resin.Again still using 400 wet/dry grit...I'll eventually hit it with a couple more coats of filler primer,then sand some more.Ah we'll see what happens.

Very cool build.But you gotta stick some real fatties in the rear,to fill up those wheel tubs.

The body is really smoothing out.The sanding,I think,seems to be pretty easy.

Hey Richard,I know what you mean,it's gonna be difficult to build.I mean obviously that depends on how crazy I want to go with the car..I just really like the pro mod class,and I was looking for a pro mod Nova for a long time..And thanks to the company Shapeways,I found finally found one.Now as far as all the circles,that's how a 3D printer creates things in circular layers.But last night I began sanding the body with 400 grit,paper,and the more I sanded,the smoother the body is coming out.So I'll just keep sanding,dry and wet sanding,and spraying filler primer.Hopefully it cones out well.

Some more pics of the car.I'll use the 400 grit.Its so strange,the body looks like the circles,you would find in the center of a tree..Ha ha.I realize that things are created in layers in a 3D printers.Just looks odd.Also the chassis/cage is from a Pontiac prostock car,with some modifying.

Sorry about the crappy photos

A few pics of the body with two more light coats of filler primer.I guess the body is going to take quite awhile to be ready and fully dried in order to begin sanding.I guess it will be days,and weeks before any sanding can begin,or more.I'll Wait and see. Sorry having trouble with one picture.

A LOT OF SANDING!!!!and filler ..Wow

Ok,so I hit the body with three thick coats of filler primer.Hopefully they came out good.Question,does anyone know how long to wait before I start sanding?Because this body is gonna take A LOT of sanding just to get the lines out of it.And more primer filler.Again,hopefully it comes out ok.

Great start.

Very nice job.

Without saying any of the names of the big stores that carry models/supplies,we should boycott all of them,and only buy from our local hobby shops.I had a friend who lost his store about 2 years ago.Things were tight for a few years before they closed,which he blamed most of that on Internet sales.However he was still able to show a small profit for awhile..Then one of the big stores,one of which is mentioned below,moved in,and things quickly went down hill..Six months later,after the store moved in,my friends shop was forced to close for good...So from now on,we should all,"SUPPORT OUR LOCAL HOBBY SHOPS",and stay away from the big stores...Just my opinion. Thanks

So I'm going to try to filler prime the body,and then sand it.See how it comes out,well I hope.?.Plus I added two parachute posts.

Some pretty wild stuff.??Great job.

Wow,,it's Bob and Doug McKenzie..."Take off,eh.Theres no way I'll crash..This is a beer truck"...Strange Brew was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.Definitely the best beer movie of all time.Up there in the Great White North..koo koo koo koo...koo.
