While in Japan, I spotted this 1/20 scale replica of the famous Makino V33i CNC machine. This model kit is going to be released later this month from FineMolds for about $40.
These kits have been produced using a real-sized Makino V33i, so a machine made (small) copies of itself… the only thing missing is that the model kits can’t replicate themselves!
These new model kits are aimed to industrial designers and hardcore DIY geeks who want to have a replica of one of the most diffused CNC machines on their desks. Info about REAL makino machines is here
