'34 Ford pickup cab 3 D or resin ?

[Mr mopar]

I would love to see any 3D or Resin casters do a cab like this ?

To me, that looks more like a '35 Ford pickup. But I could be wrong.

I take it is based on a '34 sedan.

Would be a cool build, but I just can't see this selling enough copies to make it worth the effort(hours of labor) to the guy making the master and resin casting.

Much more possible in 3d print, but getting the cowl to match up to kit parts to use the hood/hood sides/grill and kit fenders might also be a challenge.

With that said, I too, would like to build that truck and have considered making the master and casting it regardless of its profitability.

Started some work on a cab of this style over the last couple days. Used an AMT 34 5w body and shortened the greenhouse a bunch, then chopped the roof 3mm.

Not quite the same as the California Kid Express. Much rounder at the top/rear of the cab.

Managed to get this build finished. Not going to be casting the body though. Was a fun build, but i wasn't able to get happy with the wheels, so i modified the axle ends and back/inside of the wheels so the wheels are held on with magnets. This way I can swap them out if the right wheel comes to my vision.

Thank You
Not bad for rattle can(Tamiya) and no clearcoat.
Lots of wet sanding and polishing though.
