There are a few guys printing some very nice stuff on Facebook in large scale. Check out the group large scale modelers

STS decals had engine turned decal sheets in gold and silver. I used them on this dashboard.

Seeing reports he has passed. Very sad news. Another icon lost.

I sprayed Alclad chrome over a gloss white base on this engine, looks like polished aluminum to me.

Facebook group “large scale modelers” Jo Scmocan prints many different frames for T’s , and 32’s in all scales . He does nice work.

I have bought a lot of stuff from that guy, his stuff fits well and just take your time and trim the parts out carefully.

I have bought several things from Jo, the guy printing this body. I’d almost bet he’d print the tank if asked.

Check out the facebook group large scale modelers…the owner prints and sells many parts for drag bikes including tires and rims

Check out the group 1/8 scale detail on Facebook…Jamison Swimm makes a ton of upgrades for this kit…rims, derail parts, complete engines, even a trans kit to back date the car…I used many of his parts on my build

After 2 years it’s done. List of modifications Filled in t tops Converted to a 4 speed car using transmission from Monogram 1/8 Vette and converted the console for the manual,and reconfigured pedals for a clutch Converted to all vinyl seats Dash instruments and detail from Jamison Swimm 3D, added correct chrome trim to seats and door panels. Added many details to engine including a/c bracket and a/c plumbing, added ignition wires,vacuum hoses, fuel lines,emission lines, rebuilt the battery, coolant over flow and washer reservoir used radiator and core support from Jamison Swimm 3D, Ralley wheels 3D printed by Jamison Swimm Scratch built all 4 shocks and replaced all bolts on chassis with 3D printed bolt heads, added welds to exhaust system and made new exhaust tips from aluminum Decals from Rays decals, color matched automotive laquer mixed to factory Heritage Brown by local paint supplier.

Dash board finished

Made some progress…finally got color on the body, factory matched Heritage Brown, from a local supplier…I have a new radiator, core support, charcoal cannister, and battery tray from a 3 d printer. Interior is coming along nicely, dashboard is almost complete using 3D printed instrument bezels, Pioneer head unit, made new steering wheel stalks, still waiting on some decals for instrument panel. Seats and door panels got the chrome trim that Monogram left off, door panels are done, waiting on decals for the herringbone pattern for the seats. I also converted the console to accommodate a 4 speed shifter.

3D printing has really opened up the possibilities in the larger scales. There’s several companies that print some pretty sweet large scale parts and bodies.

Beautiful rail!!!!

Started with Lindbergs Exterminator chassis, body from Custom 3D Creations, engine from Texas 3D. Decals were custom made by STS decals.
