1935 Ford 3-Window Coupe Chopped

[Zippi]

I finished this one up earlier today.  This was an .stl file that I purchased and printed out on my 3D printer.  This was my first 3D printed kit and it's not my best work but I learned a lot on this build that I can apply to my next 3D printed project.  This is the stock kit as it comes printed out except for the plug wires, licence plate, and Accel coil.  I had to do a little thinking on this one as the gear shift had to be installed before the body went on and the steering wheel and column and to be installed after the body was glued on.  That was a chore.  Paint is Tamiya TS-81 Royal Light Gray and cleared with Splash Paints 2K clear.  The rag top, running boards, and grille were painted with Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black.

Impressive build and detailing work on the engine bay. Finish looks super smooth.

NICE. This has turned out rather nice Bob. I like the overall old timey look and the colour suits it well.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Great job on that rare '35. 

[Andrew McD]

Love the way the wheels are tucked up under the fenders.  Excellent stance!  Ah yes, you print it out yourself and there's no instructions for the sequence of assembly which makes me even more appreciative of the skill it takes to build one this way.  Nice work!

Really nice build, Bob! I really like the stance and the tires and wheels. Wide white, red wheels, to me are just perfect
