These are just back from the prototyper- no clean up yet, hence the assorted little bumps here and there. I was amazed. S scale- 1/64. The 2 axle frame is 80 mm front to back, the 3 axle is 100mm. The tough part designing this was trying to guess what detail would show up, how deep to cut into the surface, etc. You have to exaggerate a lot of detail at small scale as the model will be primed and painted, and you need a certain thickness for casting the parts. This completely blew me away. The diamond plate pattern looks great even in the blown up photos, and I never thought the leaf springs would show up like that. The pieces fit together very well. Here are the metal castings, the original ZBrush design renders, and the assembled and painted models. |
