I really like the tile plow that is something I don't get to see to often in my area.

It's certainly got a ton of potential for otherwise non existant die cast parts . The detail you can get into some small stuff is quite surprising . Some various bits I've had printed , small (6mm dia) hubs and gps units , tyres/rims/hubs , clamshell buckets .

Thanks all! It's really wild what can be done these days. Plenty of free CAD based software out there for people to use. Just a matter of finding the time to learn it and play with it a bit. It's always been a struggle to see things in my head and then somehow make them real, and with CAD it's a fairly easy process. The detail is becoming insane with the new printers and despite Shapeways becoming more expensive, it's still a great place to have prototypes done. I did buy an inexpensive 3D printer that offers fair quality, and it's already paid for itself in the rough prototypes I've made for fitting. It really is insane to me....I sit down for a couple hours to draw a part, plug it into the printer, come back 4 hours later and I have a part to fit/use. Blows my mind at times... 
Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.

It seems like every week there's a new free CAD program out there. It's been a while since I have used one. Which program are you using? PC or Mac?

Excellent.It's worth having that knowledge,to produce individual parts,to enhance your own models,alone.

My wife got me a 3D printer for Christmas, the ideas are endless. It not only makes parts to enhance your models, but it also makes great loads for flatbed trailers and makes anything you can think of for your dioramas. It takes some getting use to at first but it is well worth the time when you start printing what you need for customizing models and creating great items for your dio’s.
