That's a really cool process, and is akin to a vinyl wrap on a 1:1 car body. Not sure what the chemical used to activate the emulsion/ink(?) is though, and if it's something which can be done at home. I think this video shows the process very well: http://youtu.be/ZVT0l_I4MjI You are still limited by the available patterns, but if you can clear coat the ink, I'm sure you can use additional layers to add more graphics and such.

Don't forget the order of those alternator pivot bolt spacers when reassembly time comes.

The square side-view mirrors can be found in the Revell '69 Camaro kits, at least the driver's side mirror. Headrests became mandatory on January 1, 1969, so try looking in a few pre-'70 GM kits. The '69 Camaro and Nova SS kits' seats both have headrests, so no help there. They do sort of Nova-ish.

MPC originally, then they were reissued with some AMT kits by RC2, and now in both MPC and AMT kits by Round2. There are two sizes IIRC, and the most recent kits to include them are the '84 GMC 4x4 and Jeep Commando (larger diameter version) and the "Daisy's Jeep" (smaller diameter version).

These work well for basic, 90* or less bends: It's called a flaring tool, and they come on different varieties, based upon the hardness of metal you wish to flare. The kind made for use with softer metals, like brass an aluminum are $30 or so.

You are correct, and here are some pics of what they look like: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38432&hl=hustler

Welcome aboard, Digo. The translation is just fine.

...and a lot of other people wrong. Congrats on receiving your Master's Degree, Charlie.

Oops, you're right. The painting is included on the box not in the box.

I get it from Advance Auto, and they always have an online coupon. Use coupon to buy online, then pick up in store. Repeat when you run out.

Sound like this one'll be packaged in the "flat" Original Art series box with the art print included, just like the '76 Gremlin and Opel GT: Retro-Deluxe 1966 AMT packaging style with all-new painting of Jenkins' Nova

I can't think of any 1/24 in Pro Street chassis which will be a drop in fit. If you used the 1/25 JO-HAN Superbird body, the AMT '70 Coronet Super Bee Pro Street chassis work be an excellent donor. I've never checked the wheelbases on the 1/24 Monogram (Revell) '69-'70 Mopar B-bodies against the 1/25 AMT/MPC and JO-HAN kits, but don't think they would match up due to the scale difference.

The GN/GNX engine/kit is 1/24 scale. You might want to try the 3.5L V6 from the AMT Plymouth Prowler kit, too. It's very nicely detailed and is 1/25 scale, but it has a rear mounted transaxle, similar to what the newer Corvettes and the Porsche 944(?) use. That might help with the trans tunnel clearance issues.

Thanks, Mike. Missed that. Completely. http://www.seltd.net/ez-catalog/X344897/16

We understand that, Harry, we just disagree with you. I understand how you think the process will work, and why you feel costs will eventually decrease enough so that 3D printing is affordable for the average model builder, but is the only thing you're waiting for is time? You don't forsee any other issues or road bumps between now at the affordable point? We can all say "It'll be here in 2015!" or "never gonna happen", since it hasn't happened yet, and none of us will know what will happen until it happens, but you seem to be rah-rah-ing the positives while ignoring the fact that things, like your VCR example, don't always work out how we think they might. I'll mention Beta Max and leave it at that. I mentioned these same thoughts back in January when this topic was last discussed in depth: "Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:39 AM Foxer, on 16 Jan 2013 - 07:25 AM, said: As Frank mentioned, you can print a 1/25 scale body in sections if it doesn't fit within the printer's maximum printing area. And here we all thought multi-piece bodies died with Revell's '57 Ranchero and Monogram's 1/32 "Forty-niner" kits. I still believe 3D printing will compliment injection molding, rather than replace it. 50+ years of tooling won't be rendered obsolete, and the memories those injection molded kits evoke is a real, bankable selling point which 3D printing can't match." It's fun to stoke the fire and get people excited, and I agree 3D printing is something we as model builders should be excited about, regardless of how and what impact it has on the traditional IM and kit development process, but I'm not going to ignore the fact that the bugs haven't been fully worked out regarding this 3D kit making process, and we probably don't even know what some of those bugs will be until they happen, or until the process develops further. To me, identifying and eventually trying to solve potential problems is what I find interesting, as we both agree that the technology is already here, but the trickle down effect has yet to happen.

This topic is now going the way you prefer, so we'll see which way works best and what the majority of members prefer, then adjust accordingly.

Wow, fantastic reference pics, David. Thanks for posting these. I like the gearshift knob which when turned(?) unlatches the hood, um, body latch.

It looks like there is some 'tilt back' on the real car, so maybe John can shorten the front motor mounts a tad to drop the front of the engine a bit: Many of the pics of this car taken from a low angle make the engine look much more tilted back than it appears to be, and the fact that the tops of the valve covers are higher than the firewall doesn't help with perspective, either. The engine is mounted very high on the chassis, which is unusual, even considering the chopped and channeled body, too.

I think the forthcoming '67 Charger is supposed to have a new console, but don't quote me on that. I'll take only new wheels and tires with the straight reissued kit and be happy with it.

Yes. See here why: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75374&p=948670

Yeah, I could see that happening, too, but again, will the same printer be able to output all these different media?
