Thanks, guys! Be certain to attend our show!

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.

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) .

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.

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) .

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.

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,

Glad ya like, did you know we are hosting an NNL this year?

Thanks, guys. Gey yourself a CAD program and a printer and you can make anything.

Thanks, guys. Yes, I use Sketchup.

1/24

I can't believe it either, word just didn't get around to me.

Robert Roof of Anderson, Ind. was a well known manufacturer of Ford and Chevrolet speed parts. Here is a link to information about him: Robert Roof - Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed The image is my design of the OHV conversion. The head is .77" long; the valve stems are .0134" in diameter.

Here is a link for information on the Mercury Body Corp of Louisville, Ky. : Mercury Speedster - Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed BTW, Modelmartin says he still has a few speedster bodies.

I built this chassis and engine almost 60 years ago but didn't complete the model, whatever it was going to be. About 8 years ago I got a Mercury speedster body from Modelmartin and decided to make a speedster with a Roof OHV head, which I designed but because of its thin components, could not get printed. The resolution at that time could not print such tiny items. Fast forward to today and now I have an Anycubic Mono 4K 3d printer that can print details that I cannot see with the unaided eye, so the Roof head gets printed. I also designed and printed the Mercury Body Co., Louisville step plate. That illustrates the progress that hobbyist 3d printing has made in a short period. You can see this model, along with 800 others, at the ACME Southern NNL on Oct. 28.

Thanks! With CAD ( computer aided design) and 3d printing, you are limited only by your patience and amount of spare time. Here is an exploded view of the Duesenberg before printing.

This model was designed by myself in Sketchup and printed on my Anycubic 3d printer. The car was driven by Jimmy Murphy to win the 1921 French GP. See it at the ACME Southern NNL on Oct 28th.

We are anticipating about 800 car models on display; hope to see you there!

Thanks guys, attend the ACME Southern NNL on Oct. 28th for a close up view!

This is a Ferrari concept car, designed and built by Pininfarina in 1970 on a 512S chassis. I purchased a file of this car from CGTraders and modified it for printing on my Anycubic Mono X.
