Oh it´s Tinman writing again.
Happy to have you back on the forum.
The stake bed is the original part - the container and the stake bed are two different parts.
I just had to remove the Container with some bending of the stake bed I didn´t Need to cut it away.

So, if I understand correctly, you just used the base of the container (base of the box trailer) and fit it into a printed "stake trailer." Is that correct?

Well, that's an excellent job on the design as well as a very clever use of the existing base. I presume the pipe load is printed too.

Thanks Tinman and all others.
The pipe load is not printed.
It is made out of a plastictube cut in 5 piececs, glued together and painted.

Through my Daily search for Rolls-Royce models on the internet, this was added to my search...

- Wiking-Preview-Volvo-120-Amazon-550x321.jpg (50.7 KiB) Viewed 1946 times
...to me these prototypes of new models coming from 'WIKING' look like examples of 3D printing.

That might account for the strange linear marks that can be seen on the body work and glazing.

If they are made as a 3D print, its made with Selective laser sintering (SLS)

A regular 3D print wouldnot have been made diagonal.

Hi,
Kevin thanks for showing this pics of the Wiking 3D-Models.
I have seen them on the Nürnberg Toy Fare and I think they are made as described by Shapeways:
"Frosted Ultra Detail and Frosted Extreme Detail are both made of a UV cured acrylic polymer. While both offer high resolution, Frosted Extreme Detail uses a 16 micron layer height to produce incredibly fine features, making it a great choice for miniatures, model trains, and products with very fine embossed or engraved details. Both materials are well suited for painting, and are relatively brittle, especially when features are thin. The material is heat resistant up to 80°C / 176°F degrees."
The surface of the Snow Trac model I have shown before looks quite similar.
Roland the way the model is printed could be chosen by the Operator.
With every printer it could have been printed diagonal.
I think the reason why they did it here is to strenghten the window pilars.
Diagonal printed they have a bigger cross-section betwen each layer and therefor more solidness.
