Eye candy for sure, I love the chipped paint, nothing overdone but just perfect for this vehicle. Lookin' forward to another update Marcel !

Thnx folks, I'm glad you like it! I don't wanna put this baby just on a base so I was thinking about a scene and came up with the following idea. Will put her somewhere in North Africa with some debris from a crashed Savoia Marchetti SM.79. Just debris, not a complete burned out Savoia.   Could buy 76827348 meters of Evergreen rod and start scratching but there are limits to my patience.  So I dicide to 3D model this stuff and 3D print it afterwards.  Started with drawing 3D lines in 3Ds studio max and *color code them. Which are ribs, rods, strips etc... Will do some rigging afterwards with fishing line. Cheers, Marcel. |

Interesting idea, what 3d print provider will you use?

Thanks a lot, I'm thinking of using them also for a little project I'm developing in blender.

Thnx folks. I've made some progress. The vertical piece is done and passed the Shapeway technical submission.  The rudder on the right is about 6 centimeters tall.  Next finishing the horizontal part. Bye, Marcel. |

It looks great And it looks like it won't be too expensive to print, very little volumes... |

Yep, it's amazing cheap. Voila, besides some *details I consider this airframe done. *Detailing is such a trap when cgi modeling you can go on and on.   Will print this stuff in 7 separate parts. But... were to split those parts? Especially the area were the vertical & horizontal part crosses is tricky. So I've to do some constructing engineering first... oh joy. To be continued... Marcel. |

The 3d job is perfect. Will you use the printed specimen as a master or will you use the original?

What ? Where's the glue and nippers ? Beyond me but the technology looks awesome . |

That's some impressive 3-D modelling Marcel! My suggestion for the 7 parts would be to split the box frame of the empennage into two parts that join down the middle, print the vertical stabilizer as one part, the horizontal stabilizers as 2 separate parts, with maybe separate parts for the rudder and/or the elevators...but that comes to 8 parts and not 7!  |

Thnx folks. No need to have a physical master, the 3D model is the master. So I'm gonna use the original. Finished the 3D build and uploaded it in 7 parts to Shapeways. Finger crossed now.... The parts should be ready around november 20...  Pooh, I'm quite tired of 3D modeling right now. Playing with (physical ) glue & paint is more fun in my opinion. But this could change when I receive the parts. To be continued... Marcel. |

I'll wait curious of the outcome. I've never ordered anything from them, but I definitely will in the future.

"Meanwhile somewhere in Holland the paintjob on the Sd Kfz 223 was finished, *almost...." And I'm glad... That was one of my most intensive paintjobs ever. *When a took a closer look at the pics I saw some "missed" spots but will chip those later.  More pics overhere. And now just waiting for the 3D printed airframe parts. Bye, Marcel.
