No i`m not realy sure, heard it in a youtube video from November i guess, but i can`t find it anymore. I wonder cause it`s still for download available and i can`t find any other credible source which copy that news, if these are real news.

Hello Capri-Schorsch!

I look forward to seeing how you continue to work! Your Porsche 917/10 and 935 K3 in 1/12 scale are really super detailed and excellent to work on - they need not fear comparison with other models.

The Escort MK1 from you also already makes a good impression, I'm already looking forward to the final result.

As a "little brother" I'm working on the Escort MK2 RS2000 in 1/24 to use it as a slot car, the first results I find quite good!

Tell me, why do you have so many printers? I mean, I don't blame you, i just wonder why you don't just use one? :)
Because i sell my prints and only the K3 needs 8 Nights to print the main parts.
Right now 2 Saturns keep printing the ordered stuff and the third is printing new prototype stuff like the escort is.

The printers are not so expensive like you maybe think.I bought only one as a new one.

regards Christian
I see! thanks!

WOW...that is crazy and what speed you are making those kits !!! I'm currently doing the Porsche RS Spyder 1/12 and I already have weeks in the model alone...always jumping between actual modelling and thinking about printing/casting/building the actual kit. Haven't even started on the decal or photoetch parts :( ....long shot.

Don't forgot Daniel that I don't have to design the files.
My job is to merge and cut existing files into the version I want.
That's all.
Decals are also not in my hand.
Make life easier to create such a kit 😇😇

To be fair I have to add I started with a "gamemodel" but that requires tons of work. First to make it correct but the much bigger part is to make it printable ....aaaaand castable and buildable. Hope to find some time soon to progress. Really want to get into it more. I was always hoping Studio 27 would do their kits in 1/12 but they didn't, so I have to do it myself :)

Why casting when you have a printable model? The complete mold making and casting process is a dirty job in any way, the smell, the dirt from cleaning casted parts....i would prefer the printing process finaly.
Only way i would do castings is when you want to produce a bigger amount of the same parts, you can easy do several castings in the same time the printer puts out one print.
Yes a gamemodel can be tough cause several things have to be changed and reworked, pretty time consuming even you found a good base for a start.
I leave decalwork ot better the artwork to my girlfriend, she has much more experience in that and i follow Christian in that point, makes life much easier :lol:

I want to sell kits. I will probably rework most parts and will cast them in resin/metal and use PE were necessary.

If your looking for an melting cup for white metal, i will propably sell mine, brand new and never used, i guess it has a volume of 1 or 2L, enough to do every scale.

Thanks but I will probably outsource all casting like I did on my Scale-Details sets in the past...
