  1. That's awesome.
  2. Very nice.
  3. I agree with Harry on this one. I work in the product development world as an industrial designer. We've been working with 3d printed parts for about 20 years now but in the last 5 or so the technology has rapidly become cheaper, faster and better. But the tech is still just in its infancy. It's where PC computing was in the late 70's. People then thought computers only had uses for business and hobbyists. By the 90's though everybody had one. And now you can do the same things plus more from your phone. As people figure out how to leverage 3d printing technology and make it more accessible, durable and practical, its going to invade every aspect of your life even in ways you cant imagine now.... printing your food, your products, your home, even living tissue. Sound crazy? Check it out. All is being done right now. Within the next two decades 3d printing is going to explode. It's not going to be a manner of whether or not you have a 3d printer in your home. The question is how many styles of 3d printers will you have and what can't be printed?
  4. Very cool
  5. That's sharp. Nice conversion work.
  6. I'd like to see a current open car carrier trailer or a current NASCAR style hauler made. Or maybe one of the enclosed style car carriers that the collector car companies use to transport cross country. I bet a lot of car builders like myself would be inspired to build a truck if it was something we could display with our cars.
  7. That is very cool.
  8. That is very nice. Would love to have one of those in my collection.
  9. I'd like to mention that I added the included seperate upper chrome trim piece to the bottom of the hood which makes the grill on my test shot model look tall compared to the photos that have been posted. I believed it was supposed to be there on Custom Cab models, based on different photos I've seen but perhaps not. (One of you F-100 experts can correct me if you want.) Anyways, it can be left off which would more closely match the photos posted here.
  10. I enjoyed building the kit. I can't really comment more than that because I was building a test shot and I haven't seen a production kit. As far as any inaccuracies people have noticed all I will say is that the people involved in the project are incredibly passionate about doing their best to try and make it as perfect as possible. That said, until somebody invents an incredible shrinking machine, model kits will have to be made by artisans who "interpret" what they see or sometimes don't see and try to reduce it in scale. I'm not an F-100 expert. I'm sure if one looks hard enough they will find something not perfect about it. I think the finished model captures the spirit of the truck and I will be happy to display it on my shelf.
  11. I built the test shot pictured. The only photoshop work done was lightening up the background and adding the license plate from the decal sheet. The windshield tooling did not have the final polishing done yet so my example was a little hazy
  12. Great looking cuda
