Now on sale! http://indycals.net/kits/mp2-001.html
Many of you are familiar with this project but for those who aren't, here's my latest project. The Marmon Wasp that won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911.
This was drawn in CAD with masters output to 3d and most parts cast in resin. Some of the finer parts like the body fasteners and engine cover handles are 3d printed parts due to their fragile nature that would be nearly impossible to cast in resin or white metal.
This will be available as a kit next month, but the first run will only be 20 kits (no pre-orders). Production will resume in the spring. (I do not intend for this to be a limited run - I hope to have this always available once initial demand is met).
This is based on the car as it raced, so it is slightly different from the Museum car, mostly in the graphics and the shape of the tail.
price will be $175 and I hope to release it on December 18.
I left the engine looking rough, and I hand painted it - the real engine was/is pretty rough.
3d prototype:
These are the kit parts that will be supplied as 3d prints.
Sample of the instructions:
