I got some issues with the roof in on the front.Even i made some extra strives in it it still got some deformations.
So i had to use some 2k putty for it.

After some sanding i made the first shot of primer.
Looking good so far.

Very nice work! I have a somewhat rude question. What does it cost in printing material to do something on this large of a scale? I know doing a project like this is not about cost, but idol curiosity got the better of me.

@Pete: it's something in the range of 1-1,5 kg of resin needed. The supports needs a lot on the body parts. The smaller parts needs less supports.
Its something I never thought about it so far. I got my price when I offer it and that is OK for me and hopefully not too much for modeler who wants one.

@gp-models : yes I got the files from the Webers separatly and I also printed them separate. But those files can be found on the net. Search for 3d specialities. I merged them with other files I got to create a look I liked more.
