Nice craftwork with your Lotus.
Also, the addition of the human figures is very creative.

A great looking Lotus. I enjoyed following your thread. You're little diorama looks fantastic.

Thank you for sharing!
Gary

Great build and you were bold enough to change the colour of the car from the 'box art'. The 3d printed figures have come out well too, did you use a resin printer to get them so smooth?

Thanks guys!

Siwi,
The girl sitting in the car is not printed by me. This is a figure produced by Master Box.
For the rest of the figures, I used an FDM printer, the only one I have (Creality Ender 3 V2). I use Cura from Ultimaker as a slicer. Four quality profiles (layer height) are defined there: Super Quality 0.12mm, Dynamic Quality 0.16mm, Standard Quality 0.20mm and Low Quality 0.28mm. For a long time I thought that these were the only ones available, but I read on Reddit that one guy used 0.04mm and it worked. I read more and it turned out that the base resolution of the Z axis is 0.04mm (full step) and theoretically even 0.0025mm (when we use 1/16 step). The latter, however, is only in theory, because the torque is too low and it could cause problems. I used 0.04mm and the effect was actually much better than 0.12mm. Unfortunately, printing takes much longer, but it is worth it.
