Excellent!

I'm so glad to see this one under way again.

I like that a lot! Well done!

Thanks Rob! Thank you Johann, the pump was created in Solidworks and printed by a now defunct division of Finelines Prototyping (Print A Part). I think a company called Shapeways is still doing Invision machine printing with thier "Frosted Ultra Detail" material. I have an album with more info here: http://public.fotki....pump/?show_vi=1 Thanks Skip, the whole 3D scanning thing is just as amazing as the printing. It reduces or eliminates the need to create models on the computer, and the scanner sizes are getting larger all the time.

I did a 3D printed gas pump in 1/24th scale a while back. I combined the printed parts with brass tubing and wire and some test tube glass to finish my “kit”. I spent about 75 bucks on all of the printed parts which was a deal for me since it would have taken me months to scratch the parts and they would not have turned out as well. 3D printing is no longer in the future, and it is only going to get better. The Sasha figure is a good example of how a concept can be turned into a part very quickly. The Mfg even came out with a different scale figure in just a few weeks.

About 8 years old-a Hubley woody. Part die-cast, part plastic. I'm sure my Dad helped; in later years we would both build models together at the kitchen table in the evening.

I was unaware of the whole thing-great stuff and wonderful history.

Beautiful job! One of my favorites.

Was always a pain to hoist the wheel up and hold it while trying to start the first lug.

http://shop.hartford...67&categoryId=1 Kinda pricy I reckon, but here's another choice. They might just sell you the boiler maybe?

At first I thought that showroom was a dio! Good stuff.

Amazing stuff. I really like the weathering on the Citroen. Just right.

Thanks for the link, those are pretty much beyond words. The apparent use of 3D solid modelling is interesting.

She did a real nice job! That's good to see.

Someone once told me that free accounts are often moved around a host server and that is why pictures often show up missing. Supposedly a paid account is not treated this way. I cannot say this if is true or not, just something I was told. In my Fotki album I have a separate random storage album that I use to post photos from. That way I can alter my project albums without fear of breaking a link. I have a paid account because of the number of pics, but I also use Fotki as a "cloud" backup.

Thanks Shane, yes a Danbury Mint Fordson that was stripped and rebuilt. A fun project!

This one is special for me because I liked how it came out, but more because it was for my Dad. 1/16th scale diorama.

Beautifully done! That is a great paint scheme too.

Beautiful work!

The Pontiac Fiero did well in that department years ago! So did my '63 Bug.

Good subject, I like that show.

You might come back, or if not, maybe in the future you will find a youngster who could make good use of your stuff. I threw out a large trash bag full of kits and parts when I went off to college.

Thanks! I feel the same way about a lot the builders on this forum. Great inspiration!

Thanks! 1/48th scale, which is half of 1/25th (24th) scale. Full album here: http://public.fotki....red_oak_garage/ There are some insanely great models in this thread y'all! Good topic.
