Marui Samurai x OptimaHouse Project

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I've started a clear Marui Samurai project. It will probably be a long journey as the cost of the clear parts printing is still high but I think for the shelf it is well worth it because I love the design of this 1985 car.

So far I'm done with the gearbox. Printed in clear transparent resin (SLA). The gears mesh perfectly as you can see here.

I want to keep the metal parts as is and play with the contrast between opaque and clear parts.

It's mesmerizing to play with the cupjoints and see the diff work in seethrough :D

My chassis is arrived.

I was worried about the dimensions but it's perfect! :D

Next time I print in natural (grey) polished, I need to remind to spray a bit of clear coat, to avoid finger prints... This was a proofprint anyway so it's not very important.

This is really nice work... Just looking at my chassis I know how much it is a nightmare to measure. That was probably a big headache... And nice to see it fits perfectly...
