Car updates
As I have settled on using the chassis from my 1/24th scale Revell Lotus 23 for the Datsun Bluebird I have decided to print a 3D interior tray in keeping with vintage Revell cars that will have the same 4 body mounting posts on the tray.

Car updates
More 3D chassis printing for the little Subaru 360 and with a few changes I'm finally there. I've also printed an interior plate with chassis posts and even leaves room for 90% of the dash. Not sure if I'm going to paint this or leave it as the white plastic with possible a coat of Klear after the decals are on as I'd probably spend 2 to 3 times as long cleaning the airbrush as I would applying paint.

Spent more time today 3D printing test chassis for the little Subaru 360, think I'm just about there.

Car updates
Spent a while today trying to print a 3D chassis for the little Subaru 360 but haven't got very far yet. Thought I might get away with adjusting the chassis designed for the Revell Sunbeam Alpine but looks like a C-can motor isn't going to work with the little wheels. I did think of going for a long can which will just fit length wise but still not a lot of ground clearance. While I might get away with a Flat-6 motor I've decided to play it save and go with a slimline motor.

Car updates
Not much of an update but I have downloaded a 3DP chassis designed by Johnny's Workshop for the 1/25(1/24th) scale Revel Shelby Cobra kit. It printed Ok but I'm still have problems with some areas seeming to print over/under size, shrinkage problem??. I've also made a very small start on the kit and have glued the bonnet and boot lid in place. This need to be in place so I can fit the front and rear body posts which will be the next job.
