Yes it was a test print in one piece to compare the quality from the Chinese guys with mine.
It's really good and saves a lot of work for the modeler.
Only need some fine tuning on the files. Was a quick shot just when I ordered the 962 parts.
Just sent me a message or a mail for more info

Another vote for the Lowenbrau 962 here, that would make an outstanding display piece!

Maybe in the future.
Got it in my mind but other things first.

Biggest problem right is that my printing solution is closing at the end of the year. I used the service from www.makeitprintable.com and was very happy with them. But now they shout down.
Maybe when i find an similar provider i can continue with that stuff. If there is no one i have make the IMSA first and maybe an Longtail version.
But others? Dont know if i can do it without makeitprintable.

Christian, thanks for offer of pictures, I have 1:43 and 1:18th models of this car, that will 'hold me over' until you can get to it in your production schedule, even curbside version would suffice for me, and body painting if possible too.

It's on my right now list.
I made all the parts for the "normal" 962 ready for printing. Only some sizes have to bed changed now. Nothing big.

But with the shotdown of makeitprintable i need to make new stuff right now.
So my goal is to make the IMSA version and the engine for the normal 962 just before then end of the year. So 2-3 pics would be great. There are versions with an different rear wing and different rear chassis. Some got a front wing on the hood. Some not. Just to see what is possible to make.

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.

That's quite a project. What is the approximate length, width, and height of the finished product?
