That metallic paint shows the bodywork flaws.

Splash Paints anniversary gold.

If you were a swinging sixties Euro playboy, what better way to cruise between the gambling dens, fleshpots and watering holes of Rome, Paris, and London than in your oro metallizzato and bianco Ghibli; to match your gold bellbottoms, white silk shirt, and gold chains?

Interior and "chassis".

It will not. However there will soon be two printers on the market that will: the Anycubic Mono X and the Elegoo Saturn. The Anycubic has a build volume of 192 X 120 X 245 mm (7 1/2 X 4 3/4 X 9 1/2") and the Elegoo's volume is 192 X 120 X 200 mm ( 7 1/2 X 4 3/4 X 8"). They should be released this month; I suggest you wait until the prices drop, rather than ordering immediately. My Photon started about $500, and I waited until it was $300, a year ago, now they are about $175. Another thing: the printer that made my body does a good job, there will always be some filling and sanding, but either the Anycubic or Elegoo will have a better resolution than it.

Fabulous resource, thanks!

Primer and sanding time.

Probably about 10 minutes, using wire cutters. Have to be careful with the short pieces, don't want to apply too much force, it may push and break part of the model. Whittle away the support in that case.

Support cleanup.

The raw material received from the 3D printer who prints my 1/24th scale bodies. All other (smaller) parts are printed on my Anycubic Photon.

It's a lot of design work. Here's an image from mid February. The body, chassis, dashboard-firewall, and body are more or less finished and I am working on the details as the grille and headlights with the lenses.

It is 1/24th.

The real thing at the start of the race.

Recently completed and glad of it. 1951 Ferrari 340 America chassis 0082a, the 1951 Mille Miglia winner. I started with a video game spyder, added the roof to it using Sketchup, as well as designing the grille, chassis and interior. The body was too large to be printed in my Anycubic Photon, so it was divided into two parts and printed separately. Lots of body work involved. I designed Pirelli Stelvio tires for this model. White decals were made using the Decalpro system.

Thanks very much! I'd like to visit again, we had an excellent time.

The T50 is more my idea what a modern supercar should be.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. This has been a challenging, but fulfilling project, that I learned a lot on. I hope some of that learning has been picked up by many of you guys. Andy: just looked up the new Delage, didn't know anything about it. All of those hypercars are trying to out scoop, swoop and crease all the others. Maybe not a good idea. I would like to see a return to the aesthetics of the 50's.

Finished.

Rear window was vacformed, others are sheet. Pleats run across the seat in the car today, uncertain about 1953. Exhaust pipe install.

It's time to slap this job together.

Nearing the end.

Inspirational thread.

Clear coat.

Molotow on the wire wheels. The monster knock off has the black Pegaso decal.
