Actually, I've been massaging the parts to make them all fit perfectly. This is the only XJR-14 in 1/12 scale. Both LMM & Studio 27 have done 1/24th scale versions.

Can't wait to see more!

The accuracy is amazing. I only wish the surface finish was a little better. But all in all I'm very pleased with the project so far.

Anyway, sorry for all the questions. It's awesome to see this kind of work being done and an extremely nice subject. But IMHO you should definitely lose the humongous logo on the bottom!  |
You probably have seen it applied but just didn't realize it. I believe Model Factory Hiro & Tameo have used this process for years now. I think it is more cost effective for the smaller scale models. Everything in the pictures has been made via Steriolithography. Yes I will use these as masters to make moulds. I had them produced with the sprue in place so that I would be one step ahead when it came time to make the moulds. When I do the moulds the sprue will actually be the fill gate for each part. I thought you might like the subject matter. Thanks for the advise on the Logo. When was the last time you looked at a painting that didn't have a signature??? I'm very proud of my work, my logo is my signature. It will be on ALL my models

And as for the logo, keep it, something to be proud of, to my knowing a first time this has also been done to modeling!
Impressive and so good!
