over on another website...scalemodelworld.net...I saw a posting from a guy advertising 3D parts. I know most of us have heard that computers could do that now, but of course figured the price to be beyond reason. He showed us an engine block that had been made for a 25th scale car. Cost was $22. That is probably a wee more expensive than say buying a resin upgrade part, but say there is no part available. You might want to check it out. I'm trying to find out if I can get a replacement part for that 350 scale Yamato backdate I plan.

Very interesting indeed...
This could make the possibiltie to have some "new models" that are very obscure or difficult to make... or not!
Thanks for the heads up, Steve!

hey mates, I actually use from time to time these kind of softwares for my work and I can tell you i would spend less time modelling some engine parts using plastic than with a 3D software
