Small update. The capri was stripped of his hoods and a door. It was pretty easy. The Würth Decals with printed discs are already there. greetings Christian

So the kit is now ready. I created all the silicone molds and added a few small parts that weren't planned yet. But was so "in the flow" that something was added. Here is an overview of all parts included in the kit: The roll cage consists of only two side parts, the cross braces can be easily added by the inclined buyer himself from plastic tubes. I made a few small parts for the trunk, but to fill it properly you have to scratch a few parts yourself. Then there were pedals and I "bent" two coolers in front of the rear

Hi Dave, I think your achieved look is right. It looks very real to me. The right balance of dirt and washing. Just like you took the body of the real car off. Great job!

Next update on Capri. The dashboard and parts of the cage are made. The cage only made a few problems in terms of impressions. After a night of thinking about it, I found the negative form with which I can take it. I'm just going to make the two sides in resin, you can just make crossbars out of round tubes. greetings Christian

The result of my silicone work can be seen here. The windows were closed from the inside with wax plates which fit nicely on the contour, but can later be easily removed again. Ready for the first silicone layer which I applied with a brush to have all the details with me. And the result of it all: the silicone mold and the core for the interior of the car. Before that, the first cast of the Capris v2. Small air bubbles on the window panes and the small wheel arch vents. Must be a little s

@Mr Mansfield: thanks for that comment!Yes the tires are resin ones.And i made a 2 part rim so you can paint it easly. .....continued on the Capri. The chassis is ready so far that I could think of taking the impression. after the silicone delivery arrived, we started immediately. The back is poured onto the plexiglass plate with resin. Done. Today, the first cast was quickly made and molded with resin. Fits! Now

While my 3D printer is busy printing, I was not completely inactive. The Capri has now received its road situation. So far it looks quite consistent compared to original pictures. The "front axle" is only provisional. I will build something in the engine compartment so that you do not distort the entire front section when taking the impression. The interior is also not yet finished: the transmission tunnel and some details on the floor are still missing. The rough shape fits now. You can see the po

Not really a model,but got something to do with it. Still working on the set-up before i will start with some modeling parts. Should be good enough to start this 3D episode with some body parts in 1/12. regards Christian

Thanks Vesa,but as you mentioned i allready know them. We continued on the chassis this week. For the first Capri, I didn't quite divide the trunk. Now it will look a little better, I hope. Still a lot to do until it fits. greetings Christian

@Cosmosman: Thanks for the pics.Thats a nice kitcar. some guy in Sweden made a Zakspeed Capri a while ago and it looks real at the end.Most of them. So now comes version 2 of the underbody. After a member of the model board made me aware that my floor is completely wrong. At the first Capri I had done it right, but now I only looked at the Minichamps and it is wrong! I think that comes closer to the original. Now I continue at the front and lay the subframe of the engine which will later be covered. To do this, I need a fasten

Have used the week vacation and continued on the Capri. The base plate consists of 2.5mm plastic sheet. The Minichamps Capri and my first Capri serve as a template. Nevertheless, you have to look diligently at the pictures and keep an eye out for small things. greetings Christian

Some primer to the prototyp body. Still some work to do. regards Christian

In the meantime I have continued to build something on the Capri. I now like the windscreen much better and the roof has also become a bit rounder. The fenders have also been revised and as far as possible everything that can be molded is opened. The prototype of the window is vacuumed and will serve as a template for the adhesive edge which is still cast on with resin. If that works? We will see. best regards Christian PS: stay healthy!

Hi there, It has been a long time since I started building the Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri from scratch. Just saw that it was the 01.09.2011.Wow. Now I thought it was time for a version 2.0 of the Capri. I would like to eradicate some mistakes and at the same time present the finished cast with more details. Now I have a little more experience with silicone and know what works and what doesn't. Since my last project of the Porsche 935 K3 still doesn't go on (lack of motivation) I liked the idea of a "new" Capri. Here again the old Capri in pictures because the originals have

Thanks Kirk! But i have to say sorry.I`ve got the Moby Dick car allready in 1/12 scale.Its the CMR Version which is very good looking. https://ck-modelcars.de/de/cmr-1-12-porsche-935-78-moby-dick-no43-8th-24h-lemans-1978-schurti-stommelen-cmr12003/p-42823/?ref=gm&gclid=CjwKCAjwqLblBRBYEiwAV3pCJo9DERT3hq2f-GnuTfUYcq_B5RehSqUy33XwE4FtgmUaG2B31tvGAhoCwmMQAvD_BwE @Pocher Perfectionist: a Walter Wolf version is no problem.My buddy Michael who designs all my decals could make that version easily. I think every possible livery can be made.He got lots o
