Very, very fun!
Nothing looks wrong at a first glance, can't see much of the design in the pictures though. Comes with pretty much no filament so make sure you pick that up as well. |

hey guys happy to donate some 3mm polycarbonate sheeting if it's still required.
They're smaller sheets (900*1.2 IIRC) but I can give you enough for your arena if you're able to transport it from s ... |

Here's the concept with more probable proportions. It's hard to get a good viewpoint of the model.
1.8m * 1.8m by 600mm high. Base angle is 15% off of vertical. The roof panel is 1.478*1.478m

Thanks for the concern. I will go and have a think and come back with a more polished idea with all the numbers to indicate it should fit a sedan, in a new thread!
Else I will admit defeat. |
