After a lenghtly break, I found some motivation and continued with the 102B.
At first, the break fluid jars at the nose:

Then I added some wires and pipes to the Judd engine:

Now I need to assemble the wings (how do you ever get this correctly aligned?) and then move on with the other two engines. Wheel have to be made later in an "assembly line" for all cars together.
Best wishes,
Steffen

After another break I'm trying to complete this project soon. So here's the current progress:
Some parts are printed on my new 3D DLP printer, which is really awesome... I feel like only the sky is the limit now :D

All together:

102 completely wired:

102D almost complete:

All what's left to do is the wheels and some small missing bits. I hope the will be the last update in the WIP.
Best wishes,
Steffen

All 3 look fantastic. There can't be many chassis types that have run three different engines can there?

Amazing triple Loti!
Very, very stunning craftsmanship. You could have fooled me to think it was a 1/12 model...

I have a question; is the rest of the Lotus 102 conversion available in printable 3D? (body, diffuser..)
