  1. Extremely good work on an important car!
  2. Great work, as usual! Here is a highly detailed 166 motor for your next early Ferrari project: STL file Motor V12 Ferrari 166 ? ・3D print design to download・Cults
  3. Here is something I found interesting: Free STL file Ferrari 166MM improove kit for MFH ? ・Design to download and 3D print・Cults (cults3d.com)
  4. You reallyreallyreally need to download a cad program like Fusion; learn it - I know, it's not easy - and get a quality 3d printer. You've seen the astounding work that Bill Cunningham has been doing on the ACME Facebook page. You will be amazed at what you can do.
  5. When you get a solid file, here is the easy way to hollow it. Get Meshmixer and load your file into it. Then follow these instructions to set the offset distance: Meshmixer Tutorial for Beginners | All3DP For a more professional approach, go to Bill Geary's "Digital Surgeon" page on Facebook. He's really good.
  6. I'm putting my models in boxes now - hope to see you there!
  7. Thanks for the compliments! I will have this model in a concept car diorama that will feature the Cadillac Cyclone and the Plymouth XNR in our show this Saturday. See links for information. Everyone is invited.
  8. Wow!
  9. 1955 DeSoto TV commercial - Smartest of the Smart Cars! Link: Bing Videos
  10. Thanks, guys! Be certain to attend our show!
  11. One of Harley Earl's last designs, the 1959 Cadillac Cyclone still amazes over 60 years later. I developed this for 3d printing from a video game file. The body was printed by fellow ACME member Bill Cunningham (thanks, Bill!) and I printed all the smaller parts. See it at the ACME Southern NNL in my concept car diorama on Oct 28, with 800 other car models.

  12. I'm a fan of both Aston Martin and Zagato, so this was a must-do. I got a file from a video game and modified it for 3d printing and had a local printer make it. The interior is from a DBS. Built curbside. See it at the 2023 ACME Southern NNL on Oct.28, along with 800 other car models. Link: 2023 ACME Southern Nationals | (acme-ipms.com) . At the same time, visit the Savoy Automobile Museum, a mile away: SAVOY AUTO MUSEUM (savoymuseum.org) .
  13. Thanks for all the compliments! Don't miss it at the 2023 ACME NNL on Oct 28th, along with (we hope) 800 other car models. Check out the links I have posted.
  14. I modified a file from Renderosity for 3d printing and added parts from the Monogram Duesenberg kit, as the tires and engine. Here is an excellent article on the car: The Legendary Duesenberg Mormon Meteor - Heacock Classic Insurance . See at the 2023 ACME Southern NNL on Oct 28th. We are anticipating 800 car models on display in a new venue that is 3 times the size of our previous showplace. Link to our show: 2023 ACME Southern Nationals | (acme-ipms.com) . And while you are at it, visit the Savoy Automobile Museum a mile away: SAVOY AUTO MUSEUM (savoymuseum.org) .
  15. Hendrix resin, painted with Alclad II copper. A challenging project as the mistakes in the promo were reproduced in the resin, most of which I was able to more or less correct. There were a few parts that were missing or too bad to use so I designed them in Sketchup and 3d printed them, as the headlight rims with the spears, instrument panel, taillights and tires.

  16. The 1/25th standard was set for American car models in the 1950's by AMT and Johan. However, 1/24th has become standard for classics, sports cars and "Mint" diecast. Don't ask me why. I prefer 1/24th,
  17. Glad ya like, did you know we are hosting an NNL this year?
  18. Thanks, guys. Gey yourself a CAD program and a printer and you can make anything.
