First print mostly successful. I will need to rework the thickness of the walls and the support struts for the roof. Much too thin.

3d printing, I wouldn't know where to start. Is the ami 6 a file you found online?

I did find it online, but was a little disappointed with the quality. It required a lot (and will need more) work to be able to print it. I mainly have to increase the thickness of the rear trunk area. The strange overhang roof in the rear needs to be sturdier as well.

The second printing went much better. I made a mistake though, I forgot to add the support to both sides of the rear roof struts. Luckily one side seems to be strong enough to hold everything, and with a little paint I don't think the thin part will be visible.

Good timing. After a bit of a summer break spent watching football, olympics, and playing video games with my son... I just started back at the modelling desk. After clearing up a couple of other, smaller, Tintin-related projects, I'm almost ready to tackle this one again.
