Re: Ferrari 330 P4
I will glue this part into the body to attach the headlights. I modeled it in 3D and printed it...

Those look incredible! would you consider printing a set or two for another fellow 1/4 scaler? I have 2 p330 cars I'm building but nothing compared to yours. I've got two yankee cars to restore. I would love to add those if possible. I would cover any costs, obviously. Please let me know. They are amazing!
thank you,
Brendon

Re: Ferrari 330 P4
Hi Brendon,
I've never thought about printing and selling parts, but this might be a good idea.
In your case, it's not that simple. The black part that holds the lights is made especially for them. It won't work with the ones you may have.
So I'd have to make an easier part for you to work with. I ask for your understanding that I will not send you any 3D data. To save shipping cost and Tax it would be perfect If I put my 3D-File on an online Printing Platform (ist there a good one for the US?) and you pay for the printed part at that shop. Then others could also buy the part without much effort.

That sounds like a great idea. I understand about keeping the file to yourself as that's your hard work and design. I would love a couple sets for two cars I have. I don't know the best platform to list them. I would rather just go through you at your convenience and pay you directly what ever you feel fair. I'd be super happy to have them as they are awesome. I haven't gotten into the 3d printing stuff as I barely have time to tinker with my builds. Let me know if this works for you or if you find a place to sell them. Thanks so much for considering making them. Hope all is well!

Re: Ferrari 330 P4
I've just started planning on making my own tires. I know some people have tried and failed. It seems very difficult, especially if you want it to look good later. Is there anyone who has had good experiences with it? What type of material should I use? I know there is black PU and some people use black silicone mixed with corn flour. If it doesn't work I vacuum cast it...

Re: Ferrari 330 P4
Not nice but I used hotglue just to find out if the tube frame will fit the body...

A good way the 'test fit'. As always, thanks for posting in the QSL Forum.rc garage berlin wrote: ↑December 5th, 2023, 12:49 am Not nice but I used hotglue just to find out if the tube frame will fit the body...

Great idea using glue for temporary build. Love the realistic look you did the p330. Looks incredible

Re: Ferrari 330 P4
To weld a tubular frame as accurately as possible, you need a welding jig... Christmas time is welding time in my father's workshop.

Re: Ferrari 330 P4
This is truly one of the most impressive large-scale builds I've seen. Your attention to scale and detail is incredible!
