$48 per KG is quite a bit more expensive than resin, so I'd suggest combining the two since I know you've cast cars before.
I draw everything in 1:1 scale, and then reduce it for printing. This eliminates the minimum circle threshold as you can have small circles in Sketchup, you just can't draw them. Similarly, cutting truck springs off flat is usually much easier at 4:1 or even 10:1 scale. Sketchup is a perfectly capable engine for doing most of what you could want, it is just a matter of learning how to do it.
That is good to know, will try that soon. I thought about making a master roof and casting copies, being I still not sure how to draw and print wood grain, if I do a flat may use real scale wood to make the deck with.
Thanks for the tip.
