landman Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 These are Replicas and Miniatures' side draft Webers with the supplied tubing for venturis installed and a bit of detailing. I find them beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known Norm since 1984 and he is really a true gentleman and talented craftsman. I just don't get the same feeling from a 3D printing machine.

I just don't get the same feeling from a 3D printing machine. I certainly didn't mean anything negative about Norm or R&M. I've spent hundreds of dollars for his stuff, which is beyond doubt some of the best in the business. On the other hand, it takes considerable craftsmanship and skill to translate real parts into an accurately scaled printable format, and to be as committed to achieving an exceptional quality final result as Randy Ditton at Model Builder's Warehouse is. The 3D "printing machine" doesn't work all on its own There's plenty of room for both old- and new-school approaches to producing high quality aftermarket bits.
