Where did you get the 3D models from?

They're all mods for the Racing Simulator Assetto Corsa. I've been collecting them over the years. They've been very helpful for 3d printing parts and the like.

The cars will be shorter only with a new engine configuration. Today they have a gigantic turbo between the engine and gearbox. Even with a minuscule engine and a smaller fuel tank, the KERS, HERS and necessary radiators are a lot of big things to arrange behind the driver. WIth a new engine, witho...

Out of interest, I've just made this, a rough comparison from the 312/67 up to the '21 car - with a 'generic' 2022 car for comparison, maybe they'll be a bit shorter next year - but not much!

Your conversion of the M23 is looking good Tyrone, the following links should take you to some reference material for the 1976 M23 that includes variations in the windshield between the two drivers as the season progressed: https://forum.f1m.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=15855 https://forum.f1m.com/...

Hey,

Currently working on a 1974 -> 1976 conversion of the 1/12 Tamiya Kit.

I wonder if it's worth setting up a WooCommerce store or something specifically for modellers with low volume sales that only accepts payments through stripe, that way a bunch of us could be selling our 3D prints, file downloads, detail parts, decals etc. If a few of us all joined together we'd have...

This is brilliant, absolutely fantastic.

Where did you get the decals printed where they could do the silver?

Thanks,
Tyrone

Thanks for the tips guys, I think i'll try sanding them and hope for the best!
