I'll get some more pictures up, later today, but basically this is something that I've always wanted and finally got the chance to have.
I printed this myself, after purchasing the files. I have to admit, these are bloody amazing files. I had a few hiccups during printing, and this was narrowed down to a corrupt flash drive. I can't wait to get this one done and on the shelf.

Martin Oostrom
Show us the pictures!

Bozzer
I shall, Martin. Just need to get back in the cave and take some. I can tell you that the chassis is very good. It lines up almost flawless.

Mona
oh there's the uhmm...trailer 😉 👍

Bozzer
After dinner, I'll make sure that I grab you both some pics 😉

Bozzer
Ok, as promised, just for you guys 🙂

Martin Oostrom
It looks so weird in that milky plastic

Bozzer
@martin. I bought some ABS-like, transparent resin, so I could use it for clear parts. What you see is, 2mm thick clear. I've not tried it any thinner, but for my taste, it's not good enough to use as glass for cab windows, etc? However, I'll give it a try, soon, just for a sample. Even i can be wrong, sometimes?

Martin Oostrom
You're not wrong, you tried something new that didn't work out as hoped. No shame in that!

How have I missed this?
Wow Bozzer that is awesome. I agree with Martin it does look strange in that colour. At first glance I thought it was bread dough!

Bozzer
The original mistake was how I orientated the print. Also, I cured it in my machine. On the second attempt, I cured it slowly by sunlight and started assembly before it was fully cured. That turned out better, because I was able to get a better joint and the Super Glue held it better. Still a little filling, but a much better result. My plan is to light sand everywhere, then apply a filler/primer. I need to source this, but I will.
You boys will appreciate this....
The wife walked into the new cave, and stopped talking!
She's now aware of the stash that I've accumulated, during her absence. She said that I must have spent a lot, on kits?
I told her that they're cheaper than hookers!
When the swelling goes down, from my black eyes, I'll start modelling again!

Mr D
Looking great 👍
What is it made from??
I've never come across a build like this??

Martin Oostrom
You should have gone with 'cheaper than booze' 😂

Nigel Chapman
Taken out of context 'starting modelling again' doesn't sound much better 🤪

Bozzer
Lol, she was cool with it really.
@Mr D. This is an ABS-like, clear resin and printed on a resin printer. It's the largest resin build, I've done, to date.

Mr D
Thanks Bozzer, learned something new.
Looks a fun project, all the best with it 👍👍

I have been out of the loop as my summer has been very busy. I shall be very interested how this comes along. I can afford a 3D printer, I simply do not have the space for one.

Nice work. Resin printing is hard.
