1990 Ford F-700 Utility Body Truck by CDW - 3D Resin Printed - 1:25 Scale

[CDW]

Using a file designed by Andrez Bezdrodny, I printed the parts using my Elegoo Saturn 3 printer. All parts are 3D printed with the exception of the windows. The windows are formed by using 3D printed window bucks provided in the Bezrodny files as molds, then vacuformed with 1mm thermoplastic. With this build, I am testing a brand new, innovative acrylic paint line called Kaleido. The paint is specifically designed to mimic the qualities of lacquer while eliminating all undesirable hazards of solvent based paint. Hard, durable, glossy finish. As you can see, I chose plain old white as my initial paint color. I can say so far the coverage is excellent. Quality of pigments excellent. Dries fast but not quite as fast as lacquer. There is a full range of colors available as sets of 24 colors each, all gloss. There are gloss and flat clear varnishes, gray, black, and white flat sandable primers as well as a gloss black primer. They have taken acrylic model paints to a new level. 
I won’t post a lot of progress photos but will post final photos of this paint/3D resin test project when completed.

Nice, looks like good detail on the prints.  I'll be interested in your experience with the paint.  I recently bought my second Gaahleri airbrush and they threw in a free bottle of the Kaleido paint.  I have not used it yet, mostly because I am not sure when I will want "Mint Green" paint.  I've noticed a few youtube videos discussing this paint but have not taken the time to watch any yet.

Great printing results Craig. It will be interesting to see how this new paint is doing on resin, which is never an easy medium to work with (glue, dust, brittle....).
