Holy schmoley!!
(that's Polish for something about a mać and a job )

When I miss a thread I certainly miss the good ones!!
Amazing project

[The Modeler]

Incredible, amazing, i haven't words for this work. you a re from the other world!

[ekaintc]

OMG. I don't like the car, but you're doing an awesome work!!

Amazing mate!

Keep the good work!

amazing work!

and i'm too green with envy with your access to the prototyping tools.

[stratos75]

Thanks!
At last I have made an ill-fated steering wheel! It has appeared much more difficult than I thought. The spokes are very thin and often broke. May be I shall made them from wire. So, it is my fifth attempt.











The valve cover of the engine will be my next work. Wait for update soon!

[klutz_100]

I hope you are going to make molds of all this and make resin copies so I can buy a kit!!

Lovely work

Wonderful work.
You've got a cnc machine to do all the work?

Thank you!
Be patient. I will make the molds and few kits necessarily, but probably it will occur after some years

Only the most visible details.

Hi to all! There is another one detail . It is the valve cover of the engine . It's not quite ideally, but I am satisfied.









The next step will be the gearbox

[jano11]

Nice job on the valve cover!
Looking forward to the gearbox!
Where do you get the blue prints for all the parts you design and machine?

[stratos75]

I have not any blue prints on this car. I do all by photos.

[jano11]

You do a very good job considering the lack of blue prints! Keep it up!

This is definitely my first time witnessing a model build in such a high-tech fashion, never imagine this was possible, especially in a hobby arena...it is now.

so this is how makers like tamiya & revell churn out before every new kit was produced, that's the '+ mold'. then they fabricate the '- mold' from this & start the plastic injection process...

i applaud the use of such technology to make new, never seen before models, for the accuracy & precision it provides is 99.99% spot on.

but i wonder if this is gonna kill off the fun from this old hobby, where the dissatisfied / advanced modelor will ever takes the next plunge in trying to build models the unconventional way.

no, i'm not trying to discriminate anything. modeling has sharpened & increased my brainstorming abilities in many ways since i broke away from building solely out-of-the-box to my current stage.

i could create parts not easily available / existed by using only styrene & anything i could lay my hands on, abeit in acceptable accuracies / deficiencies, with some thinking.

but if i were to sit back, hope & pray all my modeling needs will be provided somehow or rather, sooner or later...as long as i have enough $$$ to buy them when they're available, will i be the same person as i am now!?

is this the way all modelors will go some day?

just for thoughts...cheers!
