Im doing this post on 3d printed and resin cast parts, its all stuff i have used or will be using in the future and were it all comes from. If your using resin and printed parts please show us in the comments. Im starting the post with some amazing parts with incredible size and detail from micron modeling.

When it comes to building a car from the ground up resin bodies are great, and it seems Jimmy Flintstone always has what i need. His selection covers stock mild to wild.

That's a huge engine model! Detail is awesome. I spotted that Ariel Atom in there and have watched many videos of it. What a Beast!

All the kits look amazing, i would like a couple of the engines, the hemi with the pro charger and the pro mod engine, the price is good at 27 bucks for 1/24 scale.

What i like most about the 3d printing is the engines, Texas 3d customs and Hooligans have some very well detailed engines. I like and kinda dont like the full kits, its nice to have alot of the work done for you already, but many of them need to get the details they do have right. Plus i like rubber tires more they just look better.

Like i said in the post before i do and dont like 3d printed full kits, but i was doing a good search today and finally found MCV Products printing the pulling tractor kits. They go for 90 bucks but i think they are worth it. I looked through Hooligans site a bit closer and found some very nicely detailed kits from them.

Is that an Anglia above the '57 Gasser?

 

[KINGSLUG]

Very cool

 

[RacerX]

No sir it is a 1936 Fiat Topolino, I have that one in my stash for later this year. The Anglia your thinking of is the 1948 They look kind of the same being they are both English cars. The topo is 3 windows and the Anglia has 5. Here is a sweet custom Anglia and a stock Topolino.

 

[RacerX]

Here are some life and finger savers for all you engine builders, Pre drilled distributers. Tall and short body angle boot and old school straight up.

 

[KINGSLUG]

What scale?

 

[RacerX]

What scale?

They are all 1/25 scale, and 3 to 5 bucks at Etsy. What ever company makes them my do different scales i will check on that.

 

[RacerX]

What scale?

They make them in 1/25, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8,

 

[KINGSLUG]

Cool...I like 1/12th...

 

[RacerX]

Cool...I like 1/12th...

I will be getting 2 sets of each in 1/25 im going to add some stainless tubing to a set of the tall angle boot type to make a more modern style magneto. Im impressed with how much stuff they carry, go to Etsy and search model car parts, you get over 12 pages of all kinds of stuff from parts to whole kits.

 

[RacerX]

Ok guys i made the foundry post for all kinds of printed and cast parts, for cars, and all the branches of military and space. Etsy is getting to be a real go to place now, this was all found on the site with thousands more parts figures and kits.

 

[BarleyBop]

Great resource.

Resin kits and parts have been part of my modeling experience since I got back to the hobby ten years ago: because I wanted to focus on North African soft skins under every flag, I pretty well followed my nose to find kits of less 'popular' vehicles... many available only in resin.
With the explosion 3D printing, there is so much out there now, accessories, weapons, figures etc.

Some of my earlier purchases are downright crude by comparison! The nice thing about it though is that it got me scratch building and 'modifying' right from the get go.

Man, talk about a handful staying between the strips. This is the test car for the racer, I can tell you that. Anglia was another one.

Here, hold my beer, watch this, the last words once staged .........

This stuff looks very cool. I go to Etsy for the tiny stuff you cant find anywhere else.
Strap buckles, pins for the seats...

Sorry I missed this previously!

I dont make the STLs or print stuff, im just posting what i find for all the things we build here, and how you can find them . i will be adding more military , space and ships as i find them .

 

[RacerX]

Fond more interesting military machines, they can be found on etsy ebay and amazon. Some really great WW1 and WWII stuff on etsy but the format of the pics is not accepted here or any place for that matter.

I do and have done a fair bit of molds and casts with RTV and resin over the years to produce mostly rare/expensive items for Space:1999, but the 3-D stuff is getting better all the time.

Great looking parts, Thank you for posting them. I like resin cast parts over 3d at times, if the molds are good the finish is much better, no lines or support nibs all over the place, and most times very solid, printed stuff has a strange porosity to it that can make painting an issue if you need a super smooth surface so the part looks right.
