Default 3D printed pilot

Wondering if anyone in the hobby knows if a 3D pilot bust could be made from photos and by whom? Mitch

This is one thing that will dramatically affect a few businesses out there.. when people start knocking out nice cheap pilot busts...

There is nothing wrong with completion, helps keep prices down as long as the product produced is of excellent quality.

There was a company set up at the Toledo show two years ago that was doing it. They had an array of cameras set up that took your picture from different angles. I don't have the name of the company.

Stuka, I didn't mean I was against it...

Can you imagine if in a few years you can order a scale airplane kit and get just about EVERY cool scale piece of it light weight and ready to paint? It almost makes me mad after scratch building so many parts ... ALMOST ! hahahahhha

Yes. They can be generated by you using Autodesk 123D Catch.
