Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee.....we can hold off on the meds for now.

OK......back at this and I must say I have saved the best for last. Finally lost the other side mirror while trying to fit the interior "blob" into the cab! I have been at this for a few hours now and it is like trying to "stuff" 10 lbs. of oop: into a 5 lb. bag!! At any rate I will be able to see how everything fits together once I get this in place. Oh, I forgot to mention I snapped off a section of the drivers side cab fender!!!!

Nice to see you chipping away at it Rick

[Mini Me]

I'd like to take a "hammer" to it Lee! But I'm too stubborn to give up on it........besides that I have another to build yet. If this one doesn't work out I'll at least have a heads up on how to do the next one.....if ever.

You have a very hungry carpet monster, perhaps it’s time to get some tips from JR on fire damage :smiling:

[Mini Me]

The "thought" has crossed my mind Mick! :thumb2:

[Allen Dewire]

Wow Bro, I finally found your asparagus truck build. Every time I want to say something, it disappears off the list and I'm terrible at finding stuff here. I'm really surprised that a 3D print would be such a pain in the pooter. I can see breaking of tiny bits at that scale, but I can't understand the fender break and the terrible fit of the interior piece. He must use cheap resin to print his kits.

As for the interior fit Rick, I can only suggest breaking out the flex and grinding the hell out of it. I'm sure you'll whip this puppy into shape and I'll try to keep up from now on. I hope you hand a nice drive about and you enjoyed yourselves. Seriously though, people your age should be doing walk about's to keep in shape! Take care my friend...

Prost

What he said!

[Jim R]

Well Rick, you've made it. Your sheer bloody mindedness has seen it through. There'll be enough in the swear jar to treat yourself to something really nice :smiling:

Hi Rick

Sorry, completely missed the start of this. This has been fighting you hadn't it.

I'm seriously considering pressing buy on their 155mm Long Tom..... you're making me doubt the wisdom......

Unfortunately, I cannot find any reviews.

Hope you manage to get this over the line.

Nice little build Rick!

[Mini Me]

Thanks Gents for the kind words and support. Don't let my difficulties put you off Andy. I wouldn't be doing this except for the rarity of this particular vehicle in 1-87 scale. Your Long Tom may be a different can of worms or it may be a breeze. One thing is certain.....you have to work on these with a "light" touch and mind where you grab it cause of the small bits.
