For $65 they are awfully crude. That brake chain (?) looks like it’s a foot thick (yes, I’m exaggerating).

I am tempted to buy one. Has anyone on this list tried these? I wonder if this (3D printing) is the future of modeling, replacing resin casting. I've heard it said that it is hard to find people who can do good castings. Maybe we will end up replacing the hard-to-find resin casters with hard-to-find 3D designers.

Here's a link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/bonsallscalecarshops/m.html?item=232371077764&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 If the link doesn't work, the seller is Bonsall Scale Car Shops. I haven't purchased any of these kits, so I can't comment on the quality, but I know models of these prototypes have been long desired by many folks on this list, and I have not seen them discussed on this list. They look nice in the pictures, and they are certainly more economical than the W&R model! I wonder if the seller is a member of this list?
