'73 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme


Recommended Posts

This represents a few firsts for me. First completed build of the year. First time using spray paint rather than tape for the vinyl roof. First full 3D build. I printed this from the Andre Bezrodny file. I highly recommend Andre's files. They have good detail and he offers a wide variety of subjects. The only parts not 3D printed are the tires, glass, and fender louvers.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Thanks

Oh yeah. Love it! I like the accuracy of this model right down to the lower interior door panels. I recall seeing 3D printed '73 Cutlass coupes on ebay a few months ago. Wasn't sure how I'd tackle chroming the bumpers. But eventually I'll have to get one of the 3D printed Colonnade coupes.

Sand the bumpers real smooth. Paint with black lacquer real smooth coat or two. Allow to dry overnight and spray with Revell chrome spray. Walk away from them for a week or preferably two. Them gently add the to the car as the last thing you do.

Very, very nice. My favorite year Cutlass. Did the file include the interior?

Thanks Keith. Yes, the file includes the interior, a basic chassis, engine bay, fuel tank, suspension, wheels, and tires. There is no engine or drive train but plenty of room to add your own with the option of printing a separate hood.

Thanks again

I tried that at first but I didn't like how it looked. A bit different than my previous tests. I went with BMF instead. 

Thanks
