Saw this on Cults 3D, loved it, cost less than a quid... why not!

I split the bodyshell in half just behind the doors where there's a natural join anyway then printed both ends face-up to get the best detail where it matters.

0.15mm layers, OVERTURE Super PLA+ printed on a Prusa mk3s+, total print time about 16 hours.

I could have printed in 0.04mm layers to get rid of the layer lines on the front and back but that would have increased print time to a couple of days.

A thin coat of UV resin will soon hide those layer lines anyway.

I used organic supports, which means a much cleaner print inside the bodyshell except the top part of the print which requires a pair of needle nose pliers to get rid of the 'roots' which aren't as easy to remove as normal supports.

The two halves are stuck together with superglue & bicarb powder along the join inside the shell.

It's 67mm across the outside edges of the rear wheel arches and weighs 27g

I could easily make a 3D chassis for it but like the idea of a brass & wire sidewinder one.

Looks great, Kevan. 

I would consider sending you an aluminum chassis. But they are illegal outside of Canada. 

I look forward to seeing it completed. Brass and wire is an excellent choice.

It might see our Rally stages... Paris Dakar 1979 #108 

...one of the 60% of that years entries that was classified as 'abandoned' (DNF)

Ahhh John - great work - when I get on leave in a couple of weeks I will want to order please

A couple more finished - another Atlas Ford and Monogram Ferrari 330 ( that had a huge hole on rear deck - fixed either Vallejo liquid putty)

Took advantage of the black Friday sale....

Times as they are, and having recently forked out for a few items, I have set myself the challenge of building a Group 5 car for one of the club classes out of items in my spares box.

So far, so good...
   

Sideways Capri (£5 swapmeet bargain) and surplus Staffs wheels in just the right colour!

Gr5 Capri is the most popular at our club.

Here are a couple so I can get a 'rise' out of a slot car buddy who is a 'lefty'! I will delete this if against rules. I need to find an 'orange man' for the #1 car and a bearded man fir the other. The number one car will get a gold leaf crown once I get some of that. It'll be a hoot!

[ARUP]

Here's a '55 Chevy for vintage racing. I have the decals somewhere on the bench! I have to fab a chassis and get drive train bits yet.

[Kevan]

That post had me searching for '55 Chevy and Olds 88 Super comparisons.  Inevitably this video appeared...
