Moved from Looking for Help: Creating a Complete Land Rover Defender Model in Shapr3D to a more appropriate category.
As I previously mentioned, this is a project to be completed around 2030. For fun and to challenge myself to do it 100% in Shaper. (My daily work often involves a mix of Fusion, Shaper, FormZ, Blender, and Strata, with works I unfortunately cannot share.)
I started with the frame to get a solid fixture and reference to build from, numerous interesting challenges measuring, often with several laser arrangements. The original master: https://Hudson41.com (or http://e.pc.cd/5SLy6alK )
After that, the body, which in Shaper is especially difficult. The result would do for now with some manual grinding at a printout of 1:25,4 but not for a rendering. Later I will try to create a better version, good enough for rendering.
Some part are extremely detailed, as they are some projects in itselfs, as the antenna foot 1941 Original to replika and rear grease cups. (Water pump New old parts)
The engine is completed and final. I will proceed to complete the clockwork by working my way inward after all other components have been completed.

The engine is printed at 1:25,4 and 1:10 (for display) with SLA (resolution 35x30x35µm). The frame and body will be FDM.
I have stretched the SLA to the limits with the 1:10 in one sole unit. Flat surfaces and gravity work against a good result.
The 1:25 is really tiny and a challenge to paint.
And I receive exceptional support from the most exceptional assistant!
