It's nice when I can apply work skills to hobbies

Been working on this model on and off for a couple weeks. Starting to take shape, but it's a work in progress and I've got a lot of JDM stuff to add.

Btw, I don't know exactly what font the "turbo" is, but "Tactic Round" is very close.

What are you using now? SketchUp? I only know SolidWorks (and 3ds max).

Do IT people work for beer like a mechanic does? 😜

I think barter beer is universal.

@Cruisertrash I think SolidWorks has a maker license that's very affordable.

I know that a few folks on MUD have sold 3D scan files of 80 series, but this looks much more polished and appears just as accurate for anything one may want a 3D scan for (usually building bumpers, racks, or mounts).

That looks great. Does 3ds max export to SolidWorks format? Or does a .stp file work?

It imports Solidworks just fine, but you'd need to export as stp or something similar to bring it back into SW. 3ds being a visualization software, the workflow is generally one-way - design in it SW, make it look good in 3ds, profit.
