The progress looks good, I can't wait how it will turn out.

This just makes me smile. It may be the same smile as you get when driving or seeing a vintage jeep on the road, but better because it gives the dreamy kid feeling, just wondering where it will go.

Any update on the 'ink'? You were buying bulk in case they change the formula... Sorry if I missed the update on that

I'm happy you are appreciating the build. I received the filament spools yesterday, they all look the same. I spoke with the company rep and they confirmed that they will do another batch depending on how this one sells or not. So these might be the only ones I'll ever have. I sure hope not because I love the color, the sheen and it prints really well. Fingers crossed

Thanks mrgrtt, I too can't wait. I spend at least 5 to 6 hours a day on the project to have a steady progression. The printer is printing 12 hours a day spitting out parts. I'm even contemplating the idea of getting another printer to speed things up.

Coming along! Hey on zooming in I can't see the bendex logo.wheres the bendex logo at? pS you need to put on all the logos and all the stickers or it could be banishment. And the shovel.

Oh man! Too sexy! I cannot believe the way this thing is just morphing into a really intricate scale MB.

Thanks bmorgil!

Don't stock up on tar and feathers just yet


Next order of business will be the transfer case and driveshafts. Thanks to bmorgil I have great info on the driveshaft.

I wonder what are the rough dimensions of the transfer case. If you have an idea, it would help me. It does not need to be precise, a ballpark dimension will be ok. Oh and I don't mean 400 feet at the center field fence.

The Dana 18 is approximately 8 1/2" long or thick. (Bumper to bumper) and about 12" wide (frame rail to frame rail). and about 8" high. There are a lot of "bumps" these are averages. These dimensions are from second base.

In time, he will be able to print out a running miniature Go Devil engine. Looking great on the work done. I love the front axle details!

Thank you Mark!

The tires are unreal...

They do look good. check the picture bellow, I've printed red and black jackstand for the 1:6 scale

That would be cool right! Thanks GM!

I want to catch up with the 1:6 scale. There is a lot of small adjustment to make, but it's getting closer. here's a sneak peak of what it looks like.
