3d print: Porsche 962 in 1/8 scale

[capri-schorsch]

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.

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

That would look awesome on the wall. In fact an echelon of three, in different schemes.

Impressive again. What are dimensions exactly?

[capri-schorsch]

The body is 61cm long and 25 wide.

Don't know where to store it right now.😉

No worries, I have enough space, I might have a place for it 🤓

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.

Greeting Christian

Test fit of the Jägermeister livery.

Only some small changes have to be made.

 

 

 

 

Next one will be the "Löwenbräu" livery.

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.

Oh wow, flippin awesome.  Amazing work.

Watch out for it. 😁😁

Did fit well into the engine bay.

Hope you like it?
