capri-schorsch Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 The rims are ready.I made a two part rim because of the painting job.Some cars needs a silver color and so you dont have to make a mess while painting it. just out of the mold look them like this. a bit sanding they look better. into the wheels they look even better i think. backside is not a beauty,but who cares. Its not so easy to get them out of the mold because they are very fragile.But it works with patience. regards Christian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-schorsch Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks a lot. Today only a small update.The bigger parts are already done. Now i will take a closer look how to make the windows and stuff. All that tiny stuff like wiper,position lights and rear lights have to be made. regards Christian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-schorsch Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 looking good so far some spots still needs some sanding to get the chassis tighter into the resin body. will cast these inner structure to the small resin part for the inner mold.so i have it ready for other copies. regards Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 today was a healthy day. some have to be smaller but it works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 First two livery's are test fitted and can be printed for my now. The apple one needs two DIN A4 sheets because of the size of the stripes.Its the car driven in LeMans 1980. Here are the LeMans winner from 1979. Templates for the windows are also done.Michael will print me the windows including the logos onto a clear sheet.Excited how that looks at the end. regards Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi, Great scheme! Can’t wait to see the 935 in color! What a stunning project. Pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 tiny update on the K3 the printed windows screens looks very good.Only the front window is not the best option in my mind.Its too flat,so i made a vac formed windscreen for the ones who dont got the tamiya original window. Decals are also looking great.Great job by Michael! tiny evolution of the K3 body work.... All transkit parts are made now.Have to find some more time to put them all together and start selling it. keep racing! regards Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Two questions: What type and brand primer do you use? It's very even, dense and looks good for wet sanding. Your trans kit will sit right on Tamiya's 935 chassis and engine Christian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yes, the transkit is designed for the Tamiya 935 kit. Lots of parts from the 934 kit should also fit. The primer is from Duplicolor. Standard basic Grey primer in the cheap, big bottle. Works great for the first coats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hi,big step forward today. The Porsche stands on his own wheels. Was much more work than i first thought. The body was sitting much too high on the chassis.I needed to sand 3 mm from the Tamiya parts to get a better ride hight. The front shock absorbers had to be cut for round about 2,5mm . The rear wheels still needs 1,5mm more width to fill the wheel arches.Now i need some longer screws to hold them in place. The front wheels are perfect fit in my eyes. Here you can see the parts where i needed to sand down massively. enough for today regards Christian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 I thinks its done now. The transkit is ready.Only need to make a little manual for the parts and were they should glued to. Time to go one with my build. regards Christian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocher Perfectionist Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Looking good Count me down for a kit when ready. Though must ask if any chance of being commissioned to do a set of Walter Wolf decals for it? (I'm happy to do the WW unique body modifications from your base Transkit to complete the likeness) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 of 1/18 designs ready and only have to scale them up.The same way he did with my "numero reserve" and "apple" version.I only tested the correct size and made some adjustments. regards Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
