capri-schorsch Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Hi, just want to show my latest project. Its an Porsche 962 in huge 1/8 scale. Never thought about that massive scale so far.But when i was searching for the Kyosho McLaren MP4/4 in 1/8 i found the user Sean Main here who is collecting 1/8 or bigger stuff. I liked the idea to make something for him he cant find anywhere. So i started with the Porsche 962 for him. [imgehttps://abload.de/img/k1600_img202210261729upfvl.jpg[/img] The white parts are printed in resin from a chinese company. Thats way too big for my home printers. I decided to let them also print some parts from others cars which i was printing at home to see any differences. and i let them print the bodywork in 3 parts like the real thing got. Now i simply had to cut the tubes of stabilization off and put both parts together. Works great. Wheels are also made in 2 different designs. The grey parts are home printed to check any issues with fitment. Only some small adjustments needed so far. There will be a curbside version of the Porsche and a version with more details. My goal is to make an engine for it thats the reason i made the engine bay like it is. Should fit for the engine at the end. Its a nice and very interesting project so far. The body parts are some kind of Frankenstein thing.I used 3 different files to create this one. Its not so smooth than it could be but its ok.Sanding is not a problem in this scale. regards Christian Edited November 1, 2022 by capri-schorsch pictures 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That would look awesome on the wall. In fact an echelon of three, in different schemes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-schorsch Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hello, Today I finished the prototype of the Porsche. I still have to change a few smaller parts, but that can be done quickly. The rear wing consists of 2 parts because I didn't like the one printed in China. Unfortunately, my printer cannot print it in one piece. You can tell that it is a bit warped, but all the brackets are there. I'll try that again next time with better resin in China. I will also be able to offer an IMSA version. I still have to change small things in the files, but so far everything is ready. I hope you like it.

I know some guys over the years who are good on making these files. I do something for them and they do something for me. The clear parts like the lamps are also printed The windows are vacuum formed. I made the first master but had to re-work it a bit. Now it should be better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
