With us cruising on the first Lap of the series, we begin our journey at the beginning, showing you how we got started \u2014 and hopefully inspiring you to take on your own customization projects.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28881\" alt=\"Tamiya 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3.jpg\" width=\"712\" height=\"712\" data-wp-pid=\"28881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3.jpg 712w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-534x534.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-625x625.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Tamiya-3-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Ad\u00e9la, Tijs and I on the first recording day of this project<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, we need a car to begin with.
