1/12 Scale Jaguar XJR-14 WIP

This is a project I started about two years ago. It is 100% computer generated and made by way of a process called Steriolithography. Also known as 3D Printing or SLA. I have About $3500.00 US invested in the parts you see plus some that you don't see. There are about 1/3 as many more parts still to be "Grown" or made by the SLA process. I started this project to explore the SLA process and to evaluate the economics of the process for pattern & master production. There is a fair amount of hand finishing required to make the surface the quality required for modeling and mold making. It took me about 10 months of working nights and weekends (as my regular day job permited) to generate the 3D computer model. If all goes as planned I intend on producing this as a kit but right now it is only a "work in progress".

Let me know what you think. I will try to post updates as to the progess of the project. Please remember it has taken two years to get it this far.

Please enjoy
