1975 Gremlin
Posted by Steev on Thursday, October 26, 2023 2:52 PM

I picked up this kit for $5 at a local model car show last year, built it up and returned this year to enter it in the curbside category. I got 2nd place! I 3d printed the hood scoop, mirrors, Gizmo and the wheels which I modified in tinkercad to fit the wheels from my spares box. The seats are cast from '98 Vette seats. The finish is Revell (Humbrol?) metallic bronze and Tamiya black for the hood and side stripes.

Thats awesome!  Love Gizmo - motivation to get a 3d printer.

Thanks,

Thank you Fox and Keavdog.

A friend from work talked me into getting a resin 3d printer. There's a learning curve (I'm still on the curve, LOL) and some frustration involved but I don't know how I ever got by without it even though I've done a lot of scratch building of small items over the years.
