Looking really badass, Anton! A lot of work to get here, with more to come!

I should know what to expect next week - my first meet with the printer!

Hope I can get detail that good from my local printing company.

All good items to be able produce yourself! Thanks again.

All looking good, Jeff - your plumbing still shows up well! Don’t know if you found this, but some of the soft tubing from Ted’s that I used for air lines kept the paint from fully curing. Might need to be careful where it’s used on your truck so that the lines don’t need to be painted. Your weathering is quite good so I’m sure any degree of ‘dirty’ you choose will look great!

Superb custom interior you’ve built and the paint detail on the rear end sure makes it pop.

Awesome job on your interior - looks terrific!

Looking really good, Gary (of course the doors work!)

Just about ready for its first rig move! Your truck is loaded with detail - fine work, Lewis.

Nice finish to your pickup - the V6 has great detail and I like your photo setup! Where did you get your 'overhead' light?

Fine looking truck, Steve! - good compromise with the tape and the rest of the decaling looks great, too. (good idea with the aluminum tape - I've seen some here in the hardware store that may be very similar - thin and crazy sticky)

Great idea using the straw for your exhaust indent in the cab. I don’t much like body work, so good on you for taking on a lot of it!

Going to be an impressive looking truck - like the colour of your inspiration truck.

I like your interior work - the kit’s molded dash detail looks simple, but your detail painting sure enhances it! What have you used for your gauge ‘lens covers’ ?

Great progress, Steve! I don't have the imagination for a build like this, but I appreciate following along with this quality build

Another interesting build finished in fine fashion - great work, Jurgen!

You produce such well detailed, clean builds - awesome!

Crazy amount of detail work - just a beautiful, well executed build!

Once again, another great project completed, Jurgen! looking forward to your next project.

More like well stated opinions than pontification! All good thoughts about printing and its place in the hobby. For now, l need to settle for locally outsourcing the printing of my limited need for 3d parts as a first step, then who knows. Thanks, also, for your thoughts on my build.

I appreciate all the good info - not sure if I’ll ever find my way into resin printing, but I can sure see where a build could be improved by being able to print your own parts. Scratch building working for me at the moment but some parts are just too small to make! Thanks again.

I often read about shrinkage and warping occurring during the post printing, curing process. Have you had any issues related to that in your prints?

Good looking truck, Ron! Seems 3d printing will produce new build opportunities that just aren’t being offered by traditional kit manufacturers.

The hood may be giving you grief, but you sure nailed the rest of it! Tremendous detailing!

In my opinion, with your addition of the strengthening rib, and the fact that you intend to put three hinges on each door, the weight of the doors shouldn't stress the hinges enough to make them fail. I think where the hinge plate attaches to the hinge barrel will be the weakest point - even so, with three hinges, each door should work well.
