That build really is awesome ! Thanks for posting it again I have seen your build many times be for when you first posted it and in many photos that other guys have taken at shows after I saw it the first time I got one from Steve at Star models it has been in a box for as long as you have shown your build every time I look at it I just know it's going to be months of work but seeing yours again I'm finely going to get started on it with the hopes it comes out a 1/3 as good as yours.!

Hi ok I understand a little better now thank you for the reply don't get me wrong I think the idea of doing things with the 3D printer is awesome I guess I'm looking at a more useful way to use it in modeling I'm in Chicago and I am 65 I have been building for 55 years I did my first model at 10 in 1962 it was an AMT 3-in-1 62 Ford Fairlane it was $1.49 the paint was 10c a bottle and the spray can was 59c today the kit is between $ 22.00 to $49.00 the spray cans are $4.95 to $6.95 each and the little jar's $3 to $4.00 each so I fully understand.

I can see the 3D printing for wheels and parts but not something like the hole car. Can't just the body be printed out.? and like you said you did lose a lot of detail sanding all the extra plastic off and 11 hours to print it took less time for my kids to come in to the world lol.!! I thought there was someone that was working on doing body's has anyone tried that would be great to be able to make the body you want and use the rest of the kit to complete it.

Thanks I know what you mean my 1:1 Mustang gets big looks at the local shows in 2013 Mr. Gene Windfield was at one of the shows I was at he liked it and he sigend the under part of my hood I have 6 coats of clear over it. 20 years ago you could not give a six away but try to find one now you will pay big LOL. Can't wait to see your project done.

Here is a grate site I use for all car specs it called the old car manual project (www.oldcarmanualproject.com) it has all the factory sales books with all the specs. I have been on this site for 14 years they keep adding to it good luck.

Hi your good with a six in 1970 Ford had what they called the big six it was 240 CI and had 150 HP In Chicago 90% of all the police cars were always ordered with in-line 6's.
-
That's awesome it's nice to see someone open the hood on that kit.!
-
This is awesome I'm a big fan of in-line 6's I rebuilt a 67 Mustang GT after I retired 5 years ago and went with a built up 200 in-line 6 the factory hp was 125 it now puts out 265 more than the stock 302. I will watch this one keep those pictures coming and as for the new chrome pen's they are the best thing in modeling in years in fact the very first thing I used it on was a valve cover for a slant 6 like you did.
-
Awesome !! you have brought new life to an old AMT kit look's great.!!!
-
Your right Dave I'm 65 and I have had and have almost every issue from the first in fact I have a first issue it was never a curbside.

Hi if no one got back to you on how to get a hold of Steve here is the email I use. (stevekohler@cox.net).
-
Hi Steve is a great guy I have been kitting kit's from him for over 12 years now and never once did I ever have a problem of any kind your safe your safe.!!
-
It would be awesome to have a 65 Nova kit out again and one that can be built stock or street or all out drag and if Moebius is doing it you know it will be a very detailed kit but you say it's only been 3D printed and not tooled yet HO BOY so maybe we will see it some time in 2020 or 2021.?????. Hell I'm 65 I may not be able to hold the air brush by then.!!!!
-
WoW ! that's awesome it's really nice to see something other than a police car made from these. And I'm a retired cop.!!! Very nice job .!!!

T.M. Resin '70 Bonneville Back on Ebay
rickcaps55 replied to Dodge Driver's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
There is a second way you can convert the pick up or the convertible to the hard top if you want to stay with plastic you can use the Model King 70 Buick it's the same roof GM used in 69 and 70 on most of there full size cars and you will have glass that fits for the front and back. -
Dam.! as always it's awesome I love looking at your builds very very nice.!!!
