Following up my very large Packard with something that's even longer—that will, in fact, be the longest car I've ever made. Second car in a row I'm drawing freehand, too; like the Packard, I don't have a profile image I can trace to start from. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
It's still early days, but one thing is clear: this mofo is gonna be *huge* #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
Front end is just about done, though there will be ventiports on the fenders by the time all is said and done #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
Long, longer, longest... The long wheelbase Bentley S2 is the longest car I've printed to date. It was to be (barely) edged out by my new Packard One Twenty wagon, but before that one could even be printed, here comes the ’70 Buick Estate Wagon to handily show them both up. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
Okay, outer shell is just about complete, other than the asymmetrical details that'll be added when I'm ready to actually mirror the body (gas cap and the step in the rear bumper). We'll see whether I pull it off, but my intention is to have an opening tailgate—drop-down only, alas, a two-way tailgate is beyond my engineering skills, at least at this scale! #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
Opening tailgate is a go! Body and base both have dimension now, but aren't quite done—still need to add the pins that will connect them to each other. That won't take too long, then it will be on to the interior. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
How's that for space efficiency? #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
Okay, Buick is done. I'm supposed to be getting my most recent print today, which included some experimental tweaks to my design parameters; depending on how that comes out, I may send more cars to print soon, moving this one up in the queue, but for now, it's about ten cars out. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
@autonerdery Wow, right down to the Magnums! Beautiful.
