kensar Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM 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. 7
bbowser Posted Monday at 12:30 AM Posted Monday at 12:30 AM Two really well done automobiles. I love the art deco style of the Mistral. 1
Dragline Posted Monday at 01:14 AM Posted Monday at 01:14 AM 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. 1

ismaelg Posted Tuesday at 12:47 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:47 PM 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, Ismael 1
kensar Posted Tuesday at 01:55 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 01:55 PM 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. Ken Mouton
1959scudetto Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM (edited) 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): Edited Tuesday at 07:34 PM by 1959scudetto
Mark W Posted Wednesday at 12:12 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:12 AM Absolutely beautiful design and execution! The crispness and accuracy are astounding.
BK9300 Posted Wednesday at 02:59 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:59 AM A stunning build, Ken - simply amazing!
Dave B Posted yesterday at 03:57 AM Posted yesterday at 03:57 AM Very nice Ken, very art deco and Figoni et Falashi. Dave B
ea0863 Posted yesterday at 05:22 PM Posted yesterday at 05:22 PM Ken, your designs and execution are superb! This car could easily win at Pebble Beach!
