This machine realy impressed me once I ironed out some design snags in the sketchup file, I draw the part in sketch up first then export the file to a .dae file which I import into Blender where I again export as an .STL file for use by the MakerBot software called Maker Ware, sounds complicated but is not that bad once you have done it a few times.
here is a pic of the carbody with one thin coat of testor's flat red from a rattle can. Judge for yourself, personaly I would give it at least 2 coats. Did not use any grey primer this is paint on the raw plastic.
