i hear that izzy, the guy who puts stuff like this on shapeways is super busy too it seems LOL. i think its coming along just fine, how was the hood to work with? did it cut, sand glue easy like styrene? keep up the good work.

Cut ok - did not score and snap very well - much stronger. Didn't glue with my bondine glue very well. I use some bondine with styrene bits in it as filler and that seemed to bond to it but not weld it like styrene. Best joint is of course when I have a backer piece spanning the joint. Cuts well with a dremel but a little tougher with an exacto knife.

project update!

Got the Cab back from a fellow member - they took care of finishing the bodywork (headlight area and smooth for paint mostly). And they laid some paint down. I like the end result.

I hit the web for some Rims Tires and Hubs .... Like them too.

Then had some time last week and some parts layin about - so I made a flat bed ....

Have a look ......

Izzy that looks real good very nice work and the paint looks very good also. Ed

[Izzy]

Thanks guys. Yep the painter did great at cleaning up my bodywork. I am suprised since the shape ways has been giving troubles. He did it without just layering to cover it up.

As for the grill - looking to make inserts. Need to make some molds of the grill then reverse blank from there. Un fortunately I did not sketch the blanks before I filled it in.
