Some of you probably remember me from the "old days" at cardmodels.net. I joined here at the beginning, but that coincided with the starting of my new side business and, consequently, little time for modeling, so this is my first post here. I've had some time to build some stuff as I'm out of a "regular" job (anyone need an expert Solidworks jockey?) and I also got a nudge from a thrift store score. Believe it or not, I found a perfectly working Xyron Wishblade machine for $9.99! So, here are a couple of builds. The red job is a Fiat 500F from Graphtec (intended for the Craft Robo, which is the same machine as the Wishblade), and the big model is my 1/18 1966 Yenko Stinger, basically just a scale-up of my 1/32 Stinger, available from Daisey Designs.

Cool! Is the Vair your design?

Yep, sure is. I've had the 1/18 version kicking around for a while but never built it. I decided it would be a good candidate for converting the Corel Draw files to the Wishblade .gsd format. Took a couple of hours to convert, but all of the cutting only took about half an hour.

Love your Corvairs! I used to own 4 of them, ('60, '63 and 2 '65's.)
