  1. Are there some specific kits that you would use these wheels on? It helps to have a kit wheel in hand so perfect fit is insured.
  2. Yes Auto Air goes o very thin with excellent coverage. It's a two part process, Auto Air gloss black followed by Auto Air quick silver. Do a google search and see some of the videos of this stuff.
  3. The hub caps from various Fords fit as do the tires. I'm considering some additional vintage wire wheels. Many hours go into creating the 3D art for such a wheel so it my be a while.
  4. Wow, so sorry to hear this. some Shapeways users do short soaks in alcohol. The distortion of the spokes may self correct if you let them sit for several days. Shapeways recommends water based paints for their resin parts I always use Createx/ Createx auto air. The specific paint is quicksilver. It's fantastic stuff. As for cleaning, try a good soak in Dawn and water or Simple Green and water. That's it for cleaning.

  9. I designed a motorcycle wheel for vintage front engine dragsters. Should I offer this on my Shapeways site? Snapshot from Fusion 360
  10. These wheels are available from Shapeways. 3D printed, 72 spokes. Search on the Shapeways site for Bilingham Design.
  11. This set of Borrani style wheels are 1/24 scale 16" diameter for use on cars like the 250 GTO and TR.
  12. Here are a set of four just as they came out of the box from Shapeways. A good washing is all that's really necessary.

  14. Although I do most of my own printing, really detailed items like this go to Shapeways. Search "Bilingham Design" to see all my stuff
  15. I've been experimenting with 3D printing. Here is a 1/24 scale wire wheel.
  16. Pico, it's just excellent! Love it!
  17. Really nice work. The wheels are excellent.
  18. I'm currently scratch building the XP-87 in 1/24 scale. Take a look: The brown model and the cavity molds are CNC machined from Renshape. The white pieces are vac formed body panels. This project is about one year old.
