I kinda like the temp wheels on it, honestly! It has that base-model vibe. I always liked those cars, but I never see them these days.

That's some seriously smooth black paint, nicely done!! I love the interior on this thing....it reminds me of the zinc oxide interior paint on WWII aircraft. I bet that was the original intent? Who knows..the 1:1 has some serious personality and your model has captured it nicely.

Great job; I like the Quebec plates on it! I was cruising Kijiji recently and found some Alpines for sale, but I don't often see Tigers....so I guess a 1/25 version fills the gap!

That's a very cool paint color; I'm sure it would work as well on a Kustom as it does here!

That's quite a striking color combo; I like it with the Cragars. I haven't seen the short the car is based on, but between the decal and paint work I bet you got pretty close!

Looks killer! I'm kind of a fan of seeing the carbs and air cleaners poking through, just for a little visual contrast, but the scoop is cool too. Nice paint work and detailing!

Awesome! You nailed the look, and the paint color is perfect. I'm delighted to see custom-designed 3D printed creations turning up on the forums. The potential is unlimited. This design also reminds me of the old Fischer Body Craftsman's Guild contest entries from the 1960s. Thanks for your description of smash-molding and the materials involved...I saved a screenshot to my how-to folder. Right now, the custom-designed bodies I've made in Blender only need flat glass, but in future I might try something a little more ambitious!

Ditto everyone else...super clean build of a very attractive subject. The carbon fiber looks good to me! I scrolled back up to see what paint you'd used for the wheels; they're quite striking. This kit, and your execution, definitely does the 1:1 car justice.

This is without a doubt the classiest Nomad-imino I've ever seen built. Super inspiring--I loved the incorporation of superior Revell parts, the careful detailing, and the attention to proportion. Not to mention some mighty fine paint, foil, and photography! Congrats on taking this ambitious project to the finish line in style.

Killer color combo and detailing! Those red plug wires and chromed frog-mouth scoops really make the engine bay a standout....and I love seeing how some decals can spruce up the old AMT dash and gauges.

Absolutely spectacular. The new display is very effective! Shame about the crankshaft, but live and learn... I hope you enjoy the show, and that the show-goers appreciates what a monumental project they're looking at!

Nice weathering and detailing! I particularly like the front view with those weathered headlights and grille with the PE insert, and the detailing on the radiator hose clamps, fuel lines etc. At first I just assumed that was the Ardun out of the Revell '50 Ford truck. Pretty cool to have a printed version instead. I wouldn't have guessed the tires were printed. And great photography too, very classy.

Hi folks, looks like you've found the new shop. I'll start publicizing it once I have a few more parts uploaded. I did have headers and engine mounts for Olds, but I need to check them for wall thickness and make sure they're printable by the new rules, before I list them again. When it comes to credit card/address issues, I'm afraid I can't help. The new website is clunky, and they're obviously working on shoehorning the Shapeways stuff into a system that wasn't really designed for it. It's improving gradually. That's why I waited to re-start my shop!

It's a show car. You could section the bellhousing and transmission and nobody would notice. Except all of us!! Haha.

I'm not a collector...but when I get an older kit, I open it immediately to assess the tire burn situation, and bag the tires separately before they destroy anything else!
