skipstitch Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 First up, I lurk here a lot. And redzed's AMT sprint car post inspired me to share what I've been working on. So, a million years ago (1980 something) I set about kit bashing one of those AMT kits to build a 1940's sprint car using the tail section. Pre roll bars and wings and overhead valve engines. But the problem with 1980 something was I was a teenager with a short attention span who liked teenage girls more than model cars! Fast forward a couple decades, teenage me is long gone as well as the cigar box holding all the bits and pieces for an early sprint car. But I had the bug again to build one in scale. Since I dabble in 3d Design and printing now seemed like a perfect time (that and I got a heck of a deal on a resin printer that needed testing). Below is an in progress shot during the design phase. All said, I messed with the design for about 3 weeks of evenings when I was watching T.V. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipstitch Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Pieces fresh off the printer ready for assembly and a close up of the wire wheels. I was blown away by the see-through spokes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
