Racers Preferred Models

A few more toys in the works. These photos are from around 5 weeks ago. Lots of improvements and these have seen. But that for the real reveal. Lol. I have no problem showing my s**t in the works

I haven't given up.hahahaha
I had to get the fu.. off here. I was painting myself as an artist into a corner. The more I posted I was putting time frames on myself. You do that, your fuc...i am a**l as hell now that this technology is available. Its the most in depth,hardest thing I have taught myself. Anyone can buy a 3D printer and buy files and print and get ok results. Who can learn that technology from design aspect to printing. I have been testing 4 different filaments as I keep designing for the past 6 months. Each filament has hundreds of variables from nozzle temp,bed temps,,fan control of what percentage you apply the fan on how many starting layers and for which filament and why did you go with that one? Unbelievable amount of adjustment for each filament and I i deep dove into tje 4 want to use. Its racing its my set ups. Sure they have the stock ones you can use get ok results,same as racing. Its how digs deep into learning every part of your set ups. Thats rhe guy or girl you better watch out dor.lol.I have done the hardest,longest road.lol
I said,I'm not selling anything unless I create it from nothing but my mind. So...Very close...I look at it as a ball of clay. I start with 3D solid block and I start carving. Stare at the real car photos fro every angle.
Well by doing that, this of one of 5 different Bicknell body styles I created from basically 2022- current. What's happening in that whole upper quarter panel angle,design I really like!! If you stare at enough of them you start picking out different guys/companies who make bodies and sell them y their art work which is their tin work.
Rick Laubach and Lightning Bodies, for my tatste,AWESOME!!
Some of the best looking dirt modified tin work when stuck in such a tight box. Nellie me .
Now their are some very great after market body builders like Mad Skins. Very high quality craftsmanship.
Why I bring up Lightning Bodies first? Because I consider myself an artist for a living and his s**t is art!! He pushes the boundaries of today and creates some cool designs in Bodies.
Anyways,I get off topic so bare with me.lol
Back to my cars. I wrnt so deep on learning the filament and print set ups for these flimaments because again I am so a**l I want my s**t as close to perfect from design to make manufacturing as possible.So...I stepped back with posting and telling myself. If it takes 2 weeks or w months... None of that matters in the big picture. Who gives a fu.. of it comes out in December, January, February. What matters is when you drop any car of any scale be happy with it.

THEN make sure you can mass produce your work consistently quality wise and pump it out fast!! Sell to race teams that resell your product,you gotta be consistent,every car good and bang those jobs so they have their products to sell.

So besides designing and creating a car equally important thay all my cars look great but we can produce at a high level and thats also built into my cars

My cars are not model cars,not toy cars,its what ever you want. Lol. It looks great sitting on your shelf or if your son,daughter,grand kid gets tired of looking at it on a shelf and actually wants to play with it,go ahead,play with it.
As I said I design everything we sell so I dont have to produce what someone else designed for 1 certain. I build what people need. A car with no title of a model car or a toy car.
I dont give a sh.. lol.lol.
Call it or use it how ever you want...Its can take it and still look good!!
You can see I used my su glasses and key board to show you really how small this car really is and the detail I am carving into this 3D block.
This is not final but close to one of our new cars we are releasing all at once. Let's say this is one of 10

One my drafts,not perfect but you can get the idea

I heard the wind blowing hard,small branches hitting the shop roof and then I heard thunder!! I stepped out on the back deck and holy cow its a nasty night out here! You see our deck sign,you gotta have strict deck rules! I shut everything down in the shop and retreated to the living room to work on designing more race team orders for the holidays and watch some SDS races from the mid 90s at Rolling Wheels and Brewerton. I got my Christmas spirt going at 2am. Jennifer was decorating the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I suggested, if you wanna skip the tree this year,Im good with this.lol. I didn't have to convince her,first year without a tree,this might be a new tradition. Lol.

I enjoy all eras of dirt modifieds, but I really loved the 80s—the way the cars looked, the drivers, and how more guys traveled to big events back then. I’m not diving into the reasons for changes now, lol. We still have great drivers traveling, so that’s not my point. But back in the day, a 100-lap race at Ransomville with Billy Pauch, Kenny Brightbill, Horton from NJ, and the Fonda pack of Johnson, Lape, and Lazzaro was something special along with my favorites of AJ and the Doctor, Barefoot Plazek and more. For me, it was the golden era.
My dad, my brother, and I shared so many great times, and I wish they were both still here with me. Now, when I’m designing, I play those races in the background, catching glimpses that bring back wonderful memories. When I come across some good ones, I share them here for anyone interested.
