Newsletter 535: 3D printing even for the prizesOctober 6, 2022
Apart from meeting again with lots of fellow modeling friends and being able to chat about paints, plastics and resins among other things, there was a detail that really caught our attention, showing once again the new reality of scale modeling: for the first time ever there was a specific category for 3D designed and printed parts! Gentlemen, 3D is not the future, it is the present. Among the pieces presented in this category we could see some well-known things, like the SEGA Rally arcade at 1/43 scale by DAB Models. And it did not stop there: at the awards ceremony, the best modellers in each category received their usual trophy and were also given a commemorative figure of the contest to be assembled, also 3D printed.
What will we see in the next contest? A special 3D printed SpotModel trophy? Hey, that's a great idea!!
