3d Print: Porsche 962 in 1/8 scale

Post by 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.

Image
Image
and i let them print the bodywork in 3 parts like the real thing got.

Image
Now i simply had to cut the tubes of stabilization off and put both parts together. Works great.
Image

Wheels are also made in 2 different designs.

Image

The grey parts are home printed to check any issues with fitment. Only some small adjustments needed so far.

Image

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

I know. These Chinese companies can deliver great work at nice prices. Sometimes they mess up a lot.

Thanks guys.
But i have to say there is no long tail or IMSA version in the making.
I still work on this version and maybe after this i can make an IMSA version because i got the files for it. But that's way beyond in the future.
