Is this modeled after a 1:1 trike? It could be buildable as a 1:1 if someone wanted to tackle it.

Curt...........this was indeed loosely based on a 1:1 trike..............if you do a Google image search on "porsche trike," you will find 3 or 4 images of a yellow, Porsche-powered trike.........these few images are all I have ever been able to find, and it was the inspiration for this build..................I already had the CAD files for the engine and transaxle, and thought, "Yea, this could work".....................

This thread should be must reading for the naysayers that say 3-D printing is just pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking.

3-D printing is the way we'll all be making models one day.

Thanks for the comment Harry..........3D printing is just another tool among so many available to us.............for me, 3D printing lets me do things beyond my ability to scratch-build...........

Here I have added the seat and a few details............
