We are also doing t omaster mdoles for antoehr prototype our of ABS and soem other Master Models out of ABS as ideas of what injected molded parts would look like about 16 x 14 x .420 thick with about 85% material removable.

Im working this week on a 1/4 scale ren model of a protoype atv quad.

The design belongs to Mark Gonzalas(an extremely talented ID guy btw) who was kind enough to let me put his vision in to a solid form.

The quad will displayed at the "APMM 2003 Conference this weekend" in Costa Mesa,if any body is going to this convention feel free to stop by and check it out.Heck you even get to met the one and only "Crazymill Man" he'll be their as well at our "Forcast 3d" booth. I will post pics of it as soon as I get paint on it.

 

Im also making these multi ribbed, multi part, housing's that are 13" by 13" by .550 out of "ABS". Both projects must be done by friday.
