Thank's Stephan.

It looks like only a matter of time before we can buy fully finished 3D printed model cars for our collections and if our favourite car is not made, go into the local shopping mall and have one printed!

Hi,

I made a car trailer to transport my new finds home or code 3 models to the paintshop.
The silver inlay is made by a 3D-printer and will soon be replaced by a part with better surfaces and details.
The chassis of course is made of a caravan.

That is a great trailer and good use of a tatty Caravan.

Stephan, you have a 'PM'.

I think we are along way off of good solid models being made on a 3D printer and even then I don't believe it will fool anyone with good knowledge, much like dot matrix can't fool us now with repro boxes and yes before anyone says it I know some really professional printers are better but those of us that know, know.
