Bilingham

Here is a trial of the windshield. I really love the size and shape. The fit seems fine.

Randy, I've done this enough times to have developed strategies to avoid warpage while still having a 1mm thick body. The P70 has been largely free of warps.

I'm having difficulty posting. Sorry about the double post of picture. At any rate, this is the weird, couch like seat use in the P70.

This is how she looks when the body sections and the chassis come together. Good fit and good opening and closing.

Here is a print of the chassis. It is all printed in a single piece except for the tubular brass support for the rear body section. Although all of this CAN be printed in a single piece, in the long run it makes sense to print components like the coil over shocks as separate pieces so they may be optimised in printing and more easily painted.

Hours of computer time? Hundreds of hours.

This project was very difficult for me. I just couldn't get the body to a satisfactory look, and I couldn't figure how to support the rear body section when it flips open. The body was revised at least 10 times, and the body opening was solved with a soldered brass support the mates with the resin structure. The P70 is now cruising forward with almost all parts printing and working well.

The body with some primer surfacer applied. This will require several coats and substantial sanding to get all of the texture from the printing process filled.

Here's another unusual subject, the Porsche Cisitalia 360.

Ferrari Corsa blue.

Yes, the wire wheels are printed as well.

Yes, as one of my drawings shows, it will have a flip open tail section and full engine and suspension detail.

With the supports removed, the body looks pretty good. The resin is semi transparent, but the body is quite thin as well. I keep my 1/24 scale car bodies 1mm thick.

Here is a print of the body. The resin is Anycubic ABS like resin. Very impact resistant. As strong as normal kit styrene.
