The detail on that one is amazing

Thanks Kevin. I must confess that everything in the fourth shot is purely from my imagination. There were absolutely no photos available of that area, just a vague reference that the rear wheels were chain driven and the scissor lift, steering and brakes were all powered by hydraulic motors that were powered by a VW engine that rose with the body. I have no knowledge of hydraulics and such, so I just had fun with it.

And it had absolutely no suspension, which must have been fun considering some of the roads this thing went tearing down in the movie

very nice keyboard model...the top edges of the keys though could use just a little bit of bevelling for the bit of extra realism in my opinion

apple? bevels? nonsense..
they don't mind producing completely hard edged aluminum things either..

hmm.. i think my 'best works' aren't necessarily in particularly pretty model formats.. a couple of models that might look ok for the thread though..

as in.. they generally look like crap and are probably confusing to others..
lot's of good info in there though..

Incredible work, Jeff. Very complex shapes, nicely done

reread my comment then looked (closely) at the mp and realized the sharp edged have actually worn&torn a bit over the years.. i now have beveled edges (this thing is 6yrs old).. (maybe zoom in some to see beveled effect)

got the coffee and dust realism though!

I like this one.
Is this a real thing or just for fun?

A very old one (9 years) but I love it!
It's a pity that don't exist for chocolate!

With what I've seen I really shouldn't post this.

that is a real thing.. or, hopefully it is a real thing one day
i'm a horrible salesman though but i design all of these in a mindset of using true dimensions/materials/my carpentry skills..

(but the one you pinpointed, that does need to go through an engineer first just to check some stuff.. as i have it now, there are no mechanical/fasteners of the joints.. it's all interlocking (big dovetails) and can be relatively easy to setup/takedown/move somewhere else.

Seriously? That level of precision and detail alone is more than enough reason to post.

oh it's apple? then the edges should look more like this

(sorry Rich for stealing this from your thread)
