Gazzas Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I saw this on Farcebook... but thought it too good not to share. For those of you who won't use FB... too bad.

Sabrejet Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Some expert work has gone into that. How do these folks do it? Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do these folks do it? it's the newest phase of modelling... creating 3d parts with a printer. I'd love to do it myself... but i think if I ever got started, I'd never have time to build my stash.

Christa Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Interesting model. 3 D is certainly improving the game. I might build a skeleton bird eventually. Don't think it'll happen this decade. Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do it myself... but i think if I ever got started, I'd never have time to build my stash. Not 'how do they print it?' but 'how do they manage to so adeptly design it all in 3D?'. My son has a resin printer and he printed out a 1/43 scale race car for me (from a purchased file). The detail was amazing. In Japan, MFH has been doing 3D-printed chassis for a couple of years and they are also works of art. The early stuff you could see layering (even if it was probably .1mm or less) but more recently they've gone into 3D-printed wire wheels and they are probably better-scaled than the individually-spoked metal versions. The point for me is that I still want something I can put together and paint. I want to take my time to do it too. So there will always be a place for kits (in the old sense) and I think these 3D-printed masterpieces can sit alongside our 'ancient' type of kits rather than replacing them.
