Those could probably be printed but would need painting to look right. Some of the models would make
some neat toys for the kids.

I downloaded one of those and they are in STL format but I am not sure how they would print.
The tires extend below the level of the bottom of the car so some nasty support would be needed.
When I get a chance I would like to try to print one but only the first 20 layers or so until I am sure
that they are not going to use an excessive amount of filament for all the support structures.

Eagle,

if you don't have the ability; I could split it for you. Assembly required.
I am a fool entrapped within my own wisdom.

Thanks for the offer and I might take you up on that but right now I have more projects than time
and won't be printing anything like that for a long time. I do appreciate you offering.
