Completed my first highly intricate 3D printed kit making a 1964 Studebaker sedan. I do not believe this model and year car has been commercially produced in built up form in 43rd scale. Some of this was a challenge, given that upper and lower front suspension A arms and other chassis components were part of the 3D print. The number of parts in this print resembles what one would get in a much larger 24th scale AMT or Revell plastic kit,
And the finished item. I added an exhaust system, engine sump, gearbox and propshaft. Getting the ride height, wheelbase, and track correct with the suspension parts was challenging.
Now there IS a Studebaker Wagonaire file I may in time tackle, but currently on the workbench are a couple of Dodge A100 vans and minibuses. Well, my interests are eclectic.

Very nice work. I know you have lots of models. Do you display most of them?

Yes, they are all displayed, all 2685 of them and amazingly I know what shelf and what room they are in. Well, every now and then I misplace one or two for five minutes but they always turn up!

Quite intricate and a good final result, John. Displaying all of your collection and remembering where everything is, is quite a talent.

John another work of art. I can't tell, are the windows glazed?
