realgone58 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 That's killer kool, and the 3D printed bed is fantastic! These trucks look so much better with longbeds.
1972coronet Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Eero - That is a gorgeous truck ! Your workmanship ; the level of detailling , the decals ... super !
Dominik Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Wow! Your details are wonderful. Like the antenna most - just perfect!
hotrod59f100 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I need a shovel and a mop to pick up my jaw and mop up the drool . I love all the details and that flake is so beautiful
lower99 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Awesome truck! By the way: Jesper bram is the guy who made this KustomKulture film, Flake and Flames, didnt he? Edit: You wrote you "designed" the PE parts, who etched them? They are pretty clean! Edited December 10, 2013 by lower99

Edit: You wrote you "designed" the PE parts, who etched them? They are pretty clean! Yes, same guy! If you watch closely you can even spot the F&F DVD at the front seat. I designed those parts but etching is made by Eduard at Check. This model was a birthday present for Jesper.
Eero Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 Will you be selling the longbed pieces, or can we buy from Shapeways??? Well... haven't even thought about that. All of those parts for bed aren't 3D prints because I made couple of parts from styrene. Like the floor of the bed. Will you think somebody would like to buy these parts?
jeffs396 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Well... haven't even thought about that. All of those parts for bed aren't 3D prints because I made couple of parts from styrene. Like the floor of the bed. Will you think somebody would like to buy these parts? Yes, I saw that the bed floor was not printed, but that's the easiest part to scratchbuild/modify from another kit (especially since you already did the wheel tubs separately). I think the bedsides/tubs would be a GREAT seller, I would buy two pairs to start http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34956&hl=longbed#entry356402 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34959&hl=poll&fromsearch=1
lower99 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 If you´ll see Jesper the next time, tell him he has a cool truck and made a cool film!

crazyrichard Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 that is just .. mindblowingly beautifull !! omg what a result .... stunningone small note the model resembles the original whell but to me the original looks a bit more rough and less perfect ?but man what a build .. just in love
S. Svendsen Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Wow. That's just amazing. You went the extra mile on that one.
Revstew Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Eero, Great build here. The realism is amazing. I love the 3D printed bedsides. I am just now learning to try and utilize the 3D printing aspect of this hobby. I would love to learn more on how you made the file for the long bed sides. Did you scan the short bed parts and stretch? Amazing and I also feel that they would be great sellers. I am working on building a replica of my buddies truck and need a long bed conversion for that. Pleas let me know if you are thinking of producing those or PM me if you would be interested in selling even just another set? Thank you Edited January 7, 2014 by Revstew

Revstew Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Andy, they are already available form his store on the Shapeways site below... Thanks Jeffs396. I was also wondering though how he got them into the 3D printer. If he made them from scratch or if he was able to scan a short bed side and then stretch it in the computer.?
Eero Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks Jeffs396. I was also wondering though how he got them into the 3D printer. If he made them from scratch or if he was able to scan a short bed side and then stretch it in the computer.? Hello Revstew! Yes, those parts can be ordered directly from Shapeways. I chose that "Frosted Ultra Detail" as a material because it's most accurate and needs less sanding & filling. So even this "Ultra Detail" material still isn't 100% perfect. Some filling & sanding is needed. I 3D-modeled those parts by myself. I just took the most important measurements from those short parts. So no scanning. I'm using Rhinoceros 3D-program.
Edsel-Dan Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I Love them, But...................................... I will have to do it the hard way. Stretch the AMT 60 or Revell 64 Cameo (oops.I mean Fleetside) box. Fixed one of each to make a Correct Fleetside out of them. Wish I Could afford them. They look great!!!
