@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.

Thank you for replying. It was just idol curiosity. I've done a few commission builds and decided that I had better enjoy what I was doing. I made the mistake of calculated my hourly rate once and it was about 20% of minimum wage. Have fun!

I know what you mean Pete.
Thats why i dont make any commission builds.It is only stressful and nobody can pay you the time you put into a project.
I only make the stuff i really want to have in my collection. At the end,when i can sell some copies its fine.But its not my intention o start a new project.
Right now i really enjoy to create the model on my cad system.Even when my way to create it much more time consuming is for someone who really is a pro in this stuff.

Thank you for info Christian!
When printing small pieces i made the experience that you sometimes use the same amount of resin for the supports like you need for the parts itself. Overall there is allways a good percentage you can calculate for the supports, the only sad point in 3D printing in my view.
Thge engine turns out great Christian, looking forwar to be installed. Will you cut if the pipes and replace it by wire, maybe thick solder wire?

Hi there,
Now the test phase is finally over.
Version 3.5 is now the final.
Now body and chassis fit together.




I changed the whole thing again because I couldn't use the chassis as a whole in the body.
Now it's still possible.













I also printed a few small parts that now need to be fine-tuned.











Here you can see the left and right hand drive version.

Thanks!

The piping on the engine definitely looks great now. It turned out well and was definitely worth it!

[gp-models]

Wow, that is a complete new design for the parts, looks nice Christian!
The fully detailed suspension and the rest of the parts looking great, good job!

Wow Christian that is some amazing work. Those parts look very detail. Well done.
