Cute.

Very nice indeed. It’s so cute that I’ve already asked the chap who commissioned it if we can have an anime driver.

If you want cute I can make it the M422 which is 6" shorter!

We had a debate about which model to make, it looks like both were present.

Why anime? Obviously not on my radar!

Now trying to work out if I can get the checker plate look on the floors...

Still needs rear lights, tow hook, rear seats, fuel filler, air intake.

There will be a trailer too.

Nearly done...

Just checker plate to do. Normally I'd not bother but the problem is the floor is just flat so it needs something. It might not print but it's worth a try... Probably.

I’ll Smokey Robinson that.*

OK Mule and Mite printing first prototypes. These are printed solid in one piece so may well have print problems but they will be used to check scale and so that the crew can be sculpted so quality doesn't matter that much at this stage.

Empress need to get one of these for the post run

Would suggest to the Pauls that 2 different drivers and 2 passengers would be good for the crew set to allow multiple versions (and increased sales

)

Agreed. Also early and late period crews

Good lad!

First prototype print. Note it has a few issues but this is simply for scale and comment.

Glad I did the diamond plate
