Ok....... It has been a long time coming........
Syd has been shaking down this kit for the past year and is rapidly approaching the finish. We hit a few bumps in the road but with Syds help we have made design changes to correct the problem.
The new TDR
427 is breaking new ground in many areas and is changing the way you will build models in the furture. Gone will be the days of setting around wishing you could purchase this part or that part to customize your latest build. We have broken up the
TDR
427 Roadster kit into multiple "Package-kits" that will allow you to purchase the necessary parts in smaller groups and allow your model to grow at a rate you are in control of.
Heck.......just think of how much space you will save in your model room when you do not have 5 large scale models setting on that shelf.....and under your work bench......and maybe in your wifes closet.....!!!
OK, enough chit chat. Here is the link to the new Shapeways store front for TDR
Innovations.

The new store front only has about 40 some kits in it. It will be growing over the next couple of weeks.
You will find the individual "Shops" over on the right hand side of the page. These shops are a convient grouping of our kits to help you find what you are looking for. You will find two shops that contain all the printed parts for the TDR 427 Roadster, they are the "TDR Roadster Frame Shop" and the "TDR Roadster Trim Shop". Since the Package-kits in these shops are designed to produce a specific project, you will find them numbered. This is the recommended order that the modeler should purchase them in as his project grows.
This new manufactureing process has really opened a whole new world to TDR. We will begin to offer individual parts for you the modeler to buy. You will be able to purchase as many Holley carbs as you want, and maybe pick up a new Nitrous Oxide kit, and what the heck throw in a universal kit too...... Just think of TDR as your "Model Buffet" pick out what you want....when you want.
One of the major benifits of using the Shapeways rapid prototyping company is that we can now offer our parts in many different materials. If you are on a tight budget, there is an economical material though it will need a little more finish work. If you have a little extra coin in your piggy bank and not much time for finishing well, there are more expensive materials that produce near styrene quality strength and finish on its parts......and some amazing details too.......!!!
Now we have limited your selection of materials to just those that we feel will provide a good quality part for you. You do not have to worry about picking the wrong material. Not all materials are available on all kits. If the kit is made up of very small high detail parts....we limit your selections to the high detail materials. If the part is large and usually rough in real life...we give you the option of the more economical materials. Here is a brief summary of the materials that we offer our parts in.
1) White Strong Flexiable (WSF): This material is good for the larger parts we produce. It produces a very tough part, has good detail, and is the most economical material for our products at Shapeways. It does produce a "sand cast" finish but this finish is about 1/3 as rough as our old parts that you are use to, so it is smoother than our old materials and it produces better details.
2) Frosted Detail (FD): This material produces a finish that rivials styrene injection molded plastics and produces very very good detail. It is a good middle of the road matial and is my choice for all detailed 1/8 scale parts.
3) Frosted Ultra Detail (FUD): Is the ultimate in detail and finish. I strongly recommend this material if the kit contains tiny parts and it is the only material we offer 1/16 scale parts in.
Oh.....thats right.....I need to mention that we are now offering many of our parts and kits in 1/12 and 1/16 scale now too, with many many more still to come.
To find the smaller scale parts, just click on the 1/8 scale kits you like and if they are offered in the smaller scales you will find a link to them in the body of the text for the 1/8 scale parts!! The links are at the very begining of the text, so you will not have to search around for it. We plan to offery most of our parts in these smaller scales but we have to check the designs, one by one, and make sure they can be scaled down and printed in these smaller scales.
Ok, well go to our new store and look around. Let me know what you like, what you don't like, what kits you would like to see put in the store and in what direction you would like to see the store grow. We are at the begining of this store's development and it is a lot easier to change it now than it will be to change it later.
[U][B]Lastly, I just want everybody to know that our old store at TDR Innovations Home Pageis still acive and still in buisness.
