christian-w Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 This is pretty cool! Maybe now it's a little better to get the dimensions when you have the wheels as one fix point and the seats for the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Count me in, too. I've been wanting an Imperator for years, and have almost but not quite talked myself into a full scratchbuild. Seeing what you do here may push me one way or the other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely want one. I have the Road & Track Supercar issue on it. I remember many of the interior bits were sourced from the 928.

Anglia105E Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Really interesting project build that you are putting together there Dann, and I thought I had heard of and seen just about every single motor car ever designed and produced, but I can honestly say that I have never heard of the Isdera Imperator! Certainly I shall follow the ' mostly ' scratch built model car. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Its getting there quicker than I thought!, the door sills are the first parts that are removable so that I can have this made into a resin kit for others. For all the parts that need to be separate parts, I will do my usual, and temporarily attach them with my canopy glue, then keep moving on. This kit will feature opening doors, rear cowl, positional steering, full engine, and good solid glue-points that you don't have to wonder about.

Dann Tier Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 I've been doing a bit of tweaking here and there, but I did manage to get the drivers foot area finished, and both rocker panels done!....I only have to cut out the two exhaust slits on the passenger side. I think my next step will be to start building up the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi!, I have a little bit of an update here, this is a mock-up to show stance, I also have to lower the bottom edge of the vents....no biggie, and i'm now starting the body.....one angle at a time.
