AmericanMuscleFan Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Very nice Scott, did you have to do a lot of sanding on the body before painting it? There are so many interesting projects that are 3D printed. 1

Actually, I saw the Polara '69 2dr kit (3D printed) on eBay (there are 2 or 3 different sellers) and I was wondering what the rendering and overall quality of the product was. Keep us informed of your impressions, it's good to have feedback from those who have the real object in their hands. 👍 By the way, I like projects that are different from what is very common, your '62 International certainly makes it a rare bird! 😊 1

My Dad had a 64 Travelall and 2 69 Scouts along with his 70 Fleetstar/Holmes 600 wrecker ,,,so I have a soft spot for Cornbinders ! I should have the Polara by the end of the week,,I'll start a thread for the build when I get it . Working part time has cut into my bench time,,,but I like the $$ ,,,,lol
Steve H Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Cool looking truck Eric. I like seeing unique builds like this. Look forward to seeing your progress. 1
Scott Eriksen Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 Some progress on the Travelall.......all together,,,have to fab up an exhaust system,,this was a build and plan later job! lol,using some Chrysler mufflers and some pipes,,the Fireball tires/wheels and front lock hubs made a big difference,,I might try and add on the body side chrome molding .Have to make a battery tray-battery,master cylinder and wipers yet 5
AmericanMuscleFan Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Very, very cool Scott, it's just on his four wheels and we can already tell that it's going to be a sure hit. There won't be many others on the table if you present it at a model car show! 1

Mark C. Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I have to ask… how did you do the glass? That seems like it will be my major stumbling block when I finally decide to build a 3D kit.

The kit printer included "bucks" for the glass ,which I used for templates with Evergreen clear sheet styrene and glued in from the outside with canopy glue Edited March 30 by Scott Eriksen
