1935 ford coupe

[stitchdup]

this was only intended to be a test print to check the scale when i print it to build. i've found it to be undersized but i decided to throw it together anyway. it had one coat of filler primer to get rid of the worst of the print lines, then a light 600 followed by 1500 sponge. you can see a hard edge on the body, this is from my pausing the printer to add more resin and is a mistake on my part. i took it off the printer at 1pm on monday and all the big parts were painted and together by 4. i spent a couple hours detail painting and making glass this morning and all the chrome is molotowe from an old pen (lasted much better than green stuff world has) applied with a brush. since this is just a quick build nothing was masked. i did swap to hub caps from a revell 48 custom and a printed 48 steering wheel in pearl white. if i had spent time on body prep it would look much better and i'll be doing that on the correctly sized version. all in all, it still looks ok and if i used some of my light lenses would be much more convincing but i didn't want to waste them on something i know is wrong but for 6 hours and no effort.....

the flat spot is from having the body too close to the printer edge

Looks pretty good in the pearl green! Tamiya paint?

Cool to see. I have always liked the look of the 35 grill. If I ever get into 3D printing that is on of the first things I would print.

The 35 Ford Coupe turned out really nice there Les.

i would say this is a good one to get. its not many parts but with some extra time on body prep and detailing it can turn out a nice build and many of the other flathead engine parts can be scaled to fit this. the body and fenders are one part and it has the hood too but mine didn't turn out nice so i left it off and i forgot to print the rad pipes. the grille and rad is one piece on this

The roof shape looks better than most chopped tops in that it in proportion with the body. Since I don't recall ever seeing a kit of a '35 Ford that makes this very interesting. The stance along with the wheel and tires look perfect for this.

All in all, pretty good-looking build. Nice.
