Pascal Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Very nice project and an outstanding build. I absoutely love the amount of details that you've put into this model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I am pretty sure within this there are a couple of pictures that show the doors open to get a good gauge of the hinges. It's a later car I believe but how much would they have change the door hinges http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/shaunhood22/library/porsche%20962 shaun Edited June 23, 2016 by shood23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I have to admit that when I cut the door out of one of these kits I just pinned it back open with 2 small metal rods, but that was a long time ago and with well below the amount of effort you have put into yours Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Looking very good indeed. Have fun at Glastonbury. I did that myself with a couple of friends back in the 80's - rented a van and a camper and made £800 each over the weekend! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borez Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Finally got back to this today, I've been so busy I literally haven't had time to stop and when I have had time it's been difficult to get motivated. So yesterday and today I've spent some time scratching and painting the bodywork stands for the model. Front end stand. And with the front end mounted And the rear stand. And the rear mounted And also the wheels and tyres are now 95% finished. Most of the bits are now complete, they're just sitting there ready for assembly when I have the time. Progress is however slow right now. And that's it really for now, thanks for looking. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroRacing Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Excellent to see this back o  the go. I actually searched out this build recently, having acquired a Tamiya 956 myself.  Eagerly awaiting progress. Ashley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borez Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) OK, finally up on jacks.  Installed the doors, hinges and various other bits and pieces of detailing but she's pretty much done really. Just a bit of paint cleanup and a proper lightbox photo shoot of the whole vehicle and bodywork together and she'll be ready for inspection.  For a recap: here's the original I took inspiration from.   And my version          Loved every minute of building this though, didn't think I could pull it off ( it was pretty damned challenging for sure ) but managed to rise to the occasion really and learned a ton along the way at the same time.  Anyway, thanks for following over the year and the ready for inspection pics will be up some time next week.  Next up will probably be a full detailed Gulf Porsche 917K.  Edited December 10, 2016 by Borez 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
