TVR Sagaris 3D resin print 1:24

[alleggerita105]

I bought this at this years IPMS Netherlands show.

First impression: correctly shaped and well detailed. Curbside so no engine/ gearbox, chassis (which would be a nice extra). Quite some work to be done to remove the typical print support dots. Vacuform transparant parts look through reasonably well, with varying material thickness visible.The larger surfaces show the wavy wobbly material effect that I assume inherent to 3D resin printing.

I am considering to make the rear wing supports out of thin metal instead of the out-of-scale resin supports that are with the kit. Work on a spaceframe chassis in case I can find a good arrangement drawing. And maybe add an engine.

I have no experience with 3D resin print parts, I am currently struggling with a 1:20 resin cast Jordan J192 so any progress will not show soon. Nevertheless I thought it would be good to have the generally TVR-loving Pistonheads community know that a nice Sagaris kit exists.

Useless bit of info: I had the chance to drive a few Sagaris and each drive was a most exhilarating experience on its own. What a car!

I like that! does the manufacturer have a web link? I would love to do a Tamora model; great if they did one- if not- I'd take a knife and a few grams of filler to that sag model!

Thats "my only" TVR if I'd get one, I hope you already have that great cheap-as-chips 1:18 version ?
