If only you could print your own detailed scale model of your car, right configuration and all? Well, modern times enable this – to some extent. 3D printing tech has landed as a consumer product. Combined with proper knowledge of 3D modelling it has become possible.

Make no mistake, it takes months of work to prepare a printable file and printing itself isn’t the nicest of jobs requiring safety precautions and all. But there they are, my first rough 1:18 replica’s, yet to be altered on lots of details, tolerances and fitments and surface finish. But a good first try nonetheless, now developping from here!

Note, i am not / have not taken orders, nor do i provide files. It is a personal project atm. Just enjoy the process for the time being!
