I'm have teamed up with some fantastic 1/8th scale modelers and we are in the process of trying to bring some NEW and innovative products to the 1/8th scale modeling world.
We are trying to merge the new computer modeling world with the traditional resin modeling world.
I just wanted to post something up and share our progress with you. We are still in our infancy but we are working hard to make this come to fruition.
This is "Big Al", our first major project. It is a 1/8th scale resin model of an Allison V-12. We made the masters for this project using my homemade CNC mill.
This is our first finished product. It is a 1/6th scale bellhousing and Muncie tranny for all those 1/6th scale Chevy diecast engines out there. This was really a "test mule" for us to try out the Rapid Prototyping system.....and we liked it!!
This is our 1/8 th Offy project. It is in the process of being finished out before molding. This was our first big Rapid Prototype project.
This is our modular tire/wheel project. It is just about ready to go out for rapid protyping (RP). We are trying to make a tire and wheel assembly that can be modified to make a tire and wheel from 16 to 6 inches wide (non scale). By just sanding the rim down you can achieve any offset and width you want and by sanding width of the tread section of the tire down you can reduce the tire width in 2 inch (non scale) increments.
