Ted, realistic scene...love the 4 door and the characters hanging around...!

The service business is constant at Ethyl's service station...the '53 Studebaker Commander on the lift for an oil change and grease job, while the '56 Vette is next up for an undiagnosed engine issue...the Vette owner would not be happy to see the hood off, resting on the side of his prized baby...lol...

could not find a 1/48 scale Cybertruck so I 3D printed one.

or rather its printing now

Alan, I wouldn't be surprised if you are the first to print one. 

Remember to keep the discuss here about the model ... had to edit / delete the real car talk.

Alan- sorry if my cybertruck model raised a controversy.

Modeling most cars in 3D requires multiple cross-sections or profiles to then "LOFT" into a car shape.

Obtaining precise profiles is the hard part. For typical cars it is difficult to do. So, I don't model cars!

However, the cybertruck has only a few simple profile sections that vary. Thus, it was fairly easy to create the shape for my 1/48 scale model.

Alan, that makes sense to model the cyber truck.  I’ll look forward to seeing the finished product.

Very nice job!  My second car was a ‘73 Satellite.  

@AlanRail the first print looks really good!
