just wanted to share something i recently finished up. i modeled this in rhino and designed all the parts to be easily 3d printable. this is 3/4 scale and measures almost 30" long. other than the rivets and the piece of 3/8" stainless rod this is entirely 3d printed in abs. its solvent bonded together, primed, painted, faux finish and a matte clearcoat put on it. i always use automotive paint for everything.

Wow man, Im jealous. That's great, I hope to be able to make thing's look that nice someday. Is this available to download?
wow! top finishing job mate, that's spectacular!
Also I've asked Brian and Eddie to not post the 3D print board ones in this gallery, if you look at the thread the entire first page is practically thier redirects, so hopefully we can get this section back to actual users posting things that they have printed.
thank you guys! in all fairness i do this stuff for a living. custom paint and airbrush cars , motorcycles, etc. yes geoff i saw that when i went into that section. it was nothing but admin posts. as for the model, i have not put it up for download yet. i might do that soon.
Well, you do do it well :) I only am a hobby painter, people say oh wow you're a good painter" and I see these things like you've done and I think.. lol no way, I suck... these guys are the good painters.Quote:

Just a mis-spent youth playing inside making model helicopters, tanks and battleships as a kid rather than being outside playing football :)

Teach me your ways :cool: lol
Jim, I see you made NJ.com too :)
Richard, did you 3D print it?
Eddie
i saw that ed. actually they saw your article probably within 1/2 hour of you posting it. i didnt even get a chance to read yours and they were calling me for an interview. between your writeup and theirs i have had txt, emails and calls from people all over the place. kinda crazy actually. the response to it has been nuts. with that said i want to thank everyone here for great feedback. rich, that is a great model!
Actually I am currently printing one, I halt my project with all the service I have been providing. That being said, I am going to upload the model so everyone can download it.
EDIT: Grammar mistakes!
They look so real. You really did a great job; congrats! I wish I could do these kind of things in the near future.
