Some comment: at first I thought the roof was too flat, too much like a straight line when viewed from the side, but going by the looks on the photographs that is quite OK. I do think the roundness/fillet on the rear fenders and roof are to sharp, they should be more rounded to my opinion?
Not my 3D skills...I have a 3D person with plenty of experience. It is hard to judge certain aspects of the shape without a test print...which will be done shortly. Then I can make adjustments if necessary. I do agree on the "sharpness" and that is something I have already pointed out.

Your rules...my decision. We will see ;) But I am moving in that direction.
"Trans" kits would be too expensive for most. Double the cost of the base kit.If there is enough interest for 10 or 20 I may be able to get the cost down but they won't be cheap. It would include the body print [hinged doors and hood], dash, glass and decals for the race version. |

| The printed parts are just spectacular...what printing method/quality did you use. Is this a one-off or are you going to cast the body in resin ?? |

That is pretty impressive, Peter. Have those been cleaned up, or are they straight off the printer like that?

Very nice looking master. Not sure about the dashboard, but the body looks great. They come perfectly clean like this if you have it done
to the highest standard. Good printers are not hard to find, but they are very expensive. Quickshapes did my parts and they were perfect but very expensive. |

Straight from the printer like this. VERY expensive ;) It will be coated with acrylic. |

I am thinking of having a mould made and then casting resin transkits...but I need enough interest in that. Spread the word so it can happen! I have a first rate person to do the casting here in Florida. |

| This project had such an intriguing start. Has it progressed any further, or have other projects pushed it to the back burner for a while longer? |

It has progressed. The vac forms are now being made for the headlights and hood bubble, body is in paint/decal phase and the chassis has been started. I will post an update soon. |
