Just off the work bench are two Studebaker Wagonaire models both created from 3D printed files.
From this
To this:
Building these is like building a 24th scale plastic model in miniature.
Next up is a group of 1950 Dodge Coronets when they arrive from Bulgaria.

Created from 3D printed files…amazing; and to do this in 1:43 scale just is just mind bending to me.
Nice job, John!

...the future "today!" One day, this will be commonplace. Want a particular model? ...no problem, purchase the file, print the parts, assemble to "taste" and display. Enjoy! 😎 😀

Chris, you sir, are spot on!

These look great. Are you buying the files and doing the 3D printing yourself or buying the parts already made?

I have read a great book, highly recommended, in 3D printing Idiot's Guide, 3D Printing by Cameron Coward 2015 (621.988) and learned ALL about the technology but it is not what I want to tackle. So I farm out the printing to a local fellow by sending him the website link and he prints out the file for me. I also have a contact in Bulgaria who is doing the same. Stand by for a group of 1950 Dodge Coronets. Now what I am really looking to find is a someone who can scan an existing diecast, white metal, or resin model and create a 3D file so I can have that printed to do some variations. One would be this 1950 MG Y saloon by Brooklin that I would convert into a tourer. Easy chop.

David, most of these files can be printed in different scales all the way down to 87th. (or up to 16th) But I defy anyone to actually assemble an 87th one with the level of tiny parts that would result.
