The Mistral - a 3D print project

[kensar]

This is the second body style for my roadster project, which I have named the 'Mistral', and is a completely original design.

This has an Aston Martin engine, which is 1950s technology, and the Blockley tires are a modern design for classic cars.

The paint is Splash Paints Azzuro California.  The lights are spun aluminum and the trim is Alclad Chrome.

Here's both of the body styles, which share the same engine and chassis.

That's really cool.  Well done.

Beautiful build!

Two really well done automobiles.  I love the art deco style of the Mistral.

What a gorgeous build. 3D printing is making possible things we only dreamed of, and this project is proof. I have seen many 3D projects over the last few years, and as I get better with my printer there will come a day when buying files will replace kits. In fact, it's already here.

That is a beautiful creation!

The grille has some French vibe to it. Maybe it remind me of Citroen?  The body has a hint of Talbot flavor to it and the interior has an Italian theme going with that Ferrari shifter.

To top it off the engine detail is on point.  Overall an outstanding build.

Thanks,

Thank you for all the kind comments, everyone.

The design of the Mistral is an amalgamation of design features of a number of cars that I worked into this original design.

Excellent execution of your Mistral, Ken - it has definitely a French vibe to it - it reminds me a little bit of the 1937 Peugeot 402 Darl'Mat Roadster (pic from Ultimatecarpage.com):

Ken, your designs and execution are superb! This car could easily win at Pebble Beach!

Helmut - I see what you mean as the Mistral bears a striking resemblance to the Peugeot, which I had never seen before.  Thanks for posting the pic.
