So do I get this correct? Any 1/24, 1/25 scale model can be scanned and reduced to 1/32 scale and then printed. If so the sky is the limit, as there are oodles of the bigger scale models out there.
Would this also mean that any model or die cast could be reproduced in 1/32 scale? This is the makings of a real cottage industry. If the printing could be more exact, there may be no need to cast them. I think the Shapeways method of powder printing would allow car bodies with roofs to be printed, as the unused powder holds the rest in place until it hardens. That method would also allow thinner lighter bodies, I expect.
I will be following this one for sure, and watching for a for sale post.
Cheers,
