No it's just a place to buy files, but IMHO that model is a joke -

The bigger issue with the surfboards is that you can go find a surfboard that's probably around the right size and a cheap toy and get it cheaper than I'm going to make it for I'm not dumb even though it's a popular item to put say on a beetle or a bus or maybe the back of a truck people aren't going to want to pay me to resin print one when they can go buy a cheap plastic one from some toy cheaper not going to make it most likely -

Oh and they won't sell I'm not naive and I already know that -

I'm going to make it scale 6 ft long because that's already more than I want to do It's going to take 7 hours to make them Not a lot of resin but 7 hours because of how big they are and it'll be your job to clean up the bottom where the supports are -

Well I did it based on a completely different reason it was all based on availability and partially it is the correct year we all know that the movie car was a 67 GT500 GT350 GT500 really the differences are very minimal and I'm replacing all those anyway. I think you're saying I made the right choice but What year are the kids were made in inadvertently may had something with it but really it was about finding me easiest to acquire. For example the F1 truck that has that pikes peak look old smoking It's great kit but it's impossible to find and sales suffer for that reason I did not design that one so that's how it came to be but on the other hand really what would be the other option other than the foose truck. -

I'll be honest I bought the AMT to do it because it's one of those kids that's really easy to find it's the right ear and it already had the right tail lights. Same thing with a bug I bought the Revell because you can find it anywhere I know they're not the best kits but I really like making things for kits that are easy to get a hold of. -

But you could just go out and buy that AMT kit and mount it to whatever chest you want It's really not that bad of a kit -

I have no idea I don't have one I bought the most rarely available kit to do this from and that's why I did it and the year was right -

I may be but I need to make a file first, I would like to have one in hand or detailed drawings for one first. Plus I need more time to do stuff like this -

I don't think lidar is the way to go, structured light seems to be the best solution for details that I have seen. -

I have two scanners One is an Einstar the other is an Einscan SP. But neither one of them is going to scan reflective surfaces That's what scanner spray is for or you can primer it. Scanning Hot Wheels is not very easy they're very small and generally speaking scanners are not made to scan little itty-bitty things there is a scanner that will scan really small things very very well but it is also very very expensive. There are examples of Hot Wheels bodies that I scanned One I printed at the same scale The other one I printed at 1:32 scale -

Mentioning it is fine I just want to be clear as to how I sell my items I have a lot of questions repeatedly about hey I can't find this intake manifold or where are the carbs individually on your website and I just want to be clear -

So first that's why I made this, second the other FE engines have the option for the toploader as well. As far as selling separately that's my decision, I did all the small things to compliment the trans kit so I will reserve this for that purpose. -

Texas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I mean I keep making intakes to go with it I already have a full engine and I don't sell just bits to dress up other engines too many variables -

Texas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Yeah only the Windsor just doesn't sell and I can just keep making intake manifolds for it sell one or two here or there and it's really hard to put all that time into an engine that sells maybe two or three a month -

It's part of the GT350 trans kit is the only way I sell that very specific variation of that engine there are others that are not that exact engine but are Ford FE -

The GT350 unnamed transkit has been listed on my website, now this is not a limited release item and will not be going away, my decal supplier is pretty stable and so if you don't want to build it soon there is no need to rush and buy it now. I am already realizing that this is probably more popular than it needs to be right now. it is listed Not Eleanor -

Printing that integument fold wouldn't be a problem designing it that's a whole different story and I have Mickey Thompson valve covers well I do the Mopar performance version which is more or less the same different script on it I don't know and I'm not going to make a different valve cover for the 413 The only difference I can see is the notch in the outside front or rear I don't know what side to call it because they're symmetrical -

Well being a 440 and a 413 is nothing but bore and at that scale no point. As far as the cross ram I am not sure. But I did scan this cross ram intake
