Lasalle Armored Car
« on: January 05, 2012, 03:44:37 AM »
The T2E3, to be exact. The Army only bought a few of these, but it has long been my favorite interwar/pulp armored car. Modeled this in 3D and printed by Shapeways:

I like that.

I see shapeways has it listed two ways - did you get yours polished or not?

It's not polished - just plain old white, strong and flexible.

That's pretty cool, especially as I've been fooling around with Shapeways.  Could you take an eye-level shot?

I can take an eye level shot the next time I take pictures. It might be a few days, though. In the meantime, you can see a 360 of the solid model in my Shapeways shop - Arctic Skunk.

I used Autodesk Inventor 2009 to create the 3D model, since that's what I've got on my computer at work. It took two lunches to model that thing. :D

That's a lovely piece of work, sir.  I may have to pick one or two of those up when my next paycheck comes in this month.

My order was already placed for my 2ACW forces to start using these.  I look forward to painting this lovely little vehicle!  :D
