Finally finished, after 5 years of work (on and off)
Most of the work was done over the last year and a half. I had messed with some other 3D printers to find one that would do the best job, ended up with the Form2 which helped a lot due to the quality and the larger build area. Spent the last month and a half working every day to get it finished, some things took longer than expected, for example it took several hours to do the masking for the green
Also had some trouble with paint--originally used Vallejo model air paints, but my yellow and green had issues drying, they ended up tacky and rubbery. I switched to Tamiya and it worked much better.
The lighting is done with an Arduino setup inside with a bluetooth module. Since I do 3D work on the computer I also made a mobile app with Unity to connect to it wirelessly to control the lighting and also installed a small OLED display in the center console to make an animated screen.
After finishing it came up to 202 pieces 1/10th scale, 18.5" long
