    These are not 3D, but they are Vcarve 2D, for use with a 90 degree .5" router bit- good for wedge-type cars. I made the dragon one and filled in the negative space with 2 part resin & it turned out pretty cool. Oh, and don't forget... the speed is in the axle prep!

    My dad used to make some sick derby cars back when I was in the cubs. He makes custom woodwork for a living so he would really get into it. I'll post some pictures if I can find them.

    Hey Moog, What software are you using?
    That looks pretty cool. I have yet to take that next evolutionary step towards walking fully upright (3D). I'd like to get into it without spending a zillion dollars.
    Thanks, Mike
