    My first ‘32 built in October of this year - painted Mr. Color Mr. Metal Violet Metallic GX207 over Tamiya LP-1 Gloss Black and clear coated with Mr. Color GX100. Had a few fitment issues, however I’d build another one. :^)

    calling this build done. it's such a great kit I'm going to build another one next. thanks to all who have followed and or commented. I usually build factory stock muscle cars, but this gave me a chance at a car done to my taste.

    This is gonna be cool looking !  That engine details nicely , did you do any sanding on the printed part before painting ?

    Hi Bob, Thanks! No I did not. Although it could have benefited from some primer at least on the exhaust muffler and the fan shroud. But since most of it will be hidden by the wires, and the body when assembled, I figured it was "good enough". 😉

    I am not sure what looks rough on my parts but perhaps some insight as to what you're talking about. As far as layer lines, they are there but very minimal, and for support scars I have some of the smallest supports if not the smallest. This is inherently the way things are with resin 3D printing and every print will have them, the difference between makers is how small they are and where you place them. I run very small supports and always put them in the most inconspicuous place possible.

    Hi Charles, no criticism of your parts, or quality thereof was intended. The layer lines are very minimal, but since I was painting with lacquer based paints I wanted to make sure there wasn't any "ghosting" after paint application. Not only are the support scars small, and not in conspicuous places, you are even nice enough to remove all of the parts from the "trees" 🙂 not everyone does that. 

    Your parts are by far of the best quality I have seen in my recent venturing into the 3d printed realm. 😉

    Cheers
