that is amazing artwork right there, wow wow and more wow this thing is gonna be a work of art.

AWESOME, loved the lime green as well and glad to see someone NOT doing red on this car, if i could afford a real one i think i would have mine done this color to stand out in the crowd! Great start, be checking back to see this one done.

Just came cross this build for the first time,WOW that thing is insane , love it and that interior, just incredible, clean construction.!!!

Wow awesome work so far, and your right that grill is way better that way,very cool looking.

Thats how i feel every time i see such high level of scratch building then i just think I have to step my game up more.

Awesome, thanks for sharing will have to try this for sure.

That is very awesome. love the flake and awesome for your fifth build. What brand are you using to get that deep metallic flake look?

yes pics?

bed covers that will have the centers carved out with an aztec design in them.

Im not familiar with abs at all, which is kind of a bummer for what i wanted the printer for, would an acrylic primer/paint combo stick you think? If not ill have to wait till there made using a more compatible plastic. Or like Harry says if they ever are in a staples or office max sitting right next to the ink printers,. but even then probably still abs. I can hope thou...

Chuck very impressive indeed!!! That is what I originally started the thread about is parts, yes trd is doing bodies but im sure their printer or where they may outsource their printing to probably has a huge very exspensive set up. What im wanting to do with mine is small stuff like this thing right here...

I believe model kits will be around for many years to come and i hope so cause i too like the thrill of opening up a brand new model kit, plus alot of the printing of the 3-d parts are fairly rough so making a body would be fine but it would require a lot of sanding to make it smooth, not sure about the new printers but what i have seen printed in the past there pretty rough up close. I'm gonna purchase the 6"x6"x6" version to make parts, valve covers, blowers, turbos, small parts until I learn all the ins and outs then ill move up to a larger one some day. I just think its a really cool process, yes you have to learn a program (I downloaded sketchup from google free and already doing simple shapes) but after that scratchbuilding will be a hole lot easier.

Yeah hopefully sooner than the end of decade..............

Pretty much, its amazing if there 500.00 now in a few years could be less, and if your good mechanical theres plans on line could build one yourself cheaper, what I liked about this brand is that its all built and ready to go, just learn the software to design the part. This one only builds 6"x6"x6" parts but thats perfect for 1/24th and 1/25th and probably parts up to 1/8th scale. I just find it fascinating, I spent more on a sherline lathe than this machine, and all i can do on the lathe is round parts. This printer can do anything.

I have been following this technology for a while and did not realize just how cheap it is to buy a printer and make your own model parts. For $500.00 your up and running and the software to design the parts is free, there are three well known programs and google has one of them called sketchup. Just have to start saving up some cash to get one..................http://www.solidoodle.com/?gclid=CJGDmJT86LQCFetDMgodqWsAow It is just totally amazing, what ever you can think up and draw in the program you can print out........ Just my personal opinion, going out on a limb here, I believe someday this will be a tool on the bench of a lot of scratch builders world wide. Its $43.00 for 2lbs of plastic but that can go a long way for miniature tiny little parts....... As soon as I can come up with the coin im gonna try one out myself.

I thought your avi was a mog I have had one of those to build for years, just never got in the mood to build it... may have to break it out and get building.... I just built this '41, one of my favs of the chevy fam next to the '50, I love what you are doing to it and your clean building style can not wait to see your truck done.

that was an awesome kit, i had one but it got lost down the way, have to find another. Love what your doing to it, and that color, love ot, cant wait to see it done.

That looks really realistic........

I have seen these pics before, Im wondering if this car was in a movie, anybody see a movie with this car in it?

Thank you Randy.

been wanting to do one of these for a long time, scale aquariums. I found some little round disks that i reamed out to fit over this tiny glass tubes. May put them in the doors or bed.

Just a little update, got the grill shaped to fit the opening now to figure out what design it will be cut to!
