Downloaded ... printing as I write.

'tis very simple Dave ... all the better for shrinkin'

Dunno about the accessories though, but I'll give 'em a go.

Not particularly struck by these, but I guess they deserve a suggestion ...

Looks great! Thanks AirDave!

**JohnM** · #**1723** 03-17-2017, 10:30 AM

OK, Mine's done ...

And one o' them for Richkat ...

And the question yer all askin' ... Of course I did, but it was bl**dy hard. ...

And now Dave's slipped me a Triumph too... Not built it yet though. Cheers Dave.

I've just got one problem left though ... even at full size Dave's model is way too small for my Minion collection, so I'll have to pump it up to around 220% I think.

I'll release the Triumph after you show us what it looks like John!
I've already built it, as I always do...but I'll wait to see your rendition.
I know its not exactly the car you had hoped for...
it was basically just a remodel of the Minion's Car, so it was a spur of the moment thing.

And then, after that, I think I need to do a Capri!!
A paper Ford Capri...mid 70s ...just like one I owned.
You've got me started on classic British cars now!

I've always loved the Capri...especially the original Consul Capri.
I'd love to own one of those.

I personally owned half a dozen Ford Capris back in the 1970s.
Two on the road (a '72 and a '74)...both wrecked,
my Brother-In-Law ran the '71 with a V8 motor,
and we had about 3 more 71/72s for parts.
(And a few Pintos and Cortinas...same motor)

I loved the Capri...out of all the cars I have ever owned,
and thats a lot of cars, it was the most enjoyable to drive.
I'd say the only car I liked better than the Capri was my 85 Audi GT.

Unfortunately I lost my 72 in a Highway multi car crash.
And I lost my 74 when I was rear-ended by a Drunk Driver.
Fun times!

Well now, if y're takin' requests, hows about one o' these?

It ain't a Brit, but I'd love a model of it. Cami hinted for 'One day' but she's too busy workin' and larnin' nowadays.

Out of the 'undreds of cars I've owned over the years this was the bestest ever ...

I'm afraid they've moved into millionaire country now though.

I quite like the current ride ... but it's sooooo thirsty ...

so I'm going all the way back to a Triumph again.

Oh yeah ... Go,go,go fer the Capri .... I've had a couple of them, but even then I much preferred the German built ones.

What could be more of a British classic than a DB5?

**airdave** · #**1727** 03-17-2017, 12:38 PM

No...I've said it enough times...in so many ways...I don't want any more suggestions.

Vermin...exactly....
I said a long time ago that I was a James Bond fan.
And since I owned the original Corgi, I will definitely do the DB5 at some point.
Just not sure about what colour?
Movie silver? or original Corgi gold?
(I had a gold one)

**Vermin_King** · #**1728** 03-17-2017, 01:28 PM

Do the gold. Those that want silver can either print grayscale or adjust saturation and get it.

**rickstef** · #**1729** 03-17-2017, 01:31 PM

release it as a white kit, so one could print on gold or silver

**JohnM** · #**1730** 03-17-2017, 02:59 PM

Herald printed, sealed and drying for tomorrow.

x200% Lucy car also printed, sealed and drying.

Oh, just realized tomorrows Saturday, so might not get much done.
