The final set of prints arrived this morning... https://i.imgur.com/kW8DI1Q.jpg All those parts look nice, and that is good to get into reality... I was a bit scared for the body part by the print provider team during the validation of the files as they mentioned warping and aspect risks during the ...

That's out of the park Mark :!: excellent job 8) Looks super modern with the satin finish but if you go that way I think decals would look out of place .... any idea what colour you'd go for if you paint it ? either way the dashboard needs detailing for the dials and radio . Must have been a huge s...

With the Super Wheelie project heading to build time, I need to print tires again... Resin choice is Resione F80, because it just works... https://i.imgur.com/4ndt7yI.jpg One thing that I definietly improved is the cleaning process with 2 bath of IPA (the second one is fresh IPA). https://i.imgur.co...

I got the Front printed successfully as well....


Now repeating the operation to get two more tires... I may slice some Hunter/Galaxy tires later on...

There was no way I would even think one second to run this project car with original tires (not that I don't have some)... But for the fun, it has to be printed tires (and because I would always think the project is not over if I don't do it this way)... So I took the same resin as the one I used fo...

My first attempts to print Hunter tires were unsuccessful. The resin looked nice at the end, but I never succeed to print a second rear tire, and the front looks to fragile to survive a run... While I had still some resin in the VAT of my printer following success with the Super Wheelie tires, I pri...

I could not take this picture before having printed tires and rims...

I had to wait all the parts being here to do this before I start the build...


That being said, it's a bit late tonight, so the build will start another day...

Nice!

Wheels and bumper added to the chassis...

The body is assembled... It is quite a chore to do it, because of the different screws diameter and length involved... And I noticed some minor mistake I'll have to correct on the rear faces of my bodyshells due to the screw sizes... Some parts are not yet bonded, and the rollcage doesn't include th...

The advantage having a Bambu Lab X1C, it is quite quick to print such part... And it lines up perfectly, as expected...


I've also set a part for the dashboard...

As I was preparing to mount the tires on the Hunter (vintage event next week end). I noticed the rear side of those tires is not as bad as I thought, and it is partly due to the post processing... https://i.imgur.com/uyOQSiG.jpg It doesn't look that bad. You may notice the holes digged on the rear s...

And here is the Hunter with the new set of wheels... https://i.imgur.com/HXJ0Q2X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EvByc8N.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HiOUzrL.jpg I'm quite sure one looking in the details would say the rear side of the tires are not good, but this is to run the car, and I know from what I did wit...

Started the paintjob for my Super Wheelie project... https://i.imgur.com/s11KMnu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UhtCooB.jpg Ran out of Tamiya Primer at 6pm on a Saturday :-( ...  And found a valid alternative in a local shop at 7.15pm, otherwise would require me to wait until Thursday to pursue the work.
