Reuhkapelti2 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Hello, this time I show you my latest model. There's a story to follow at the Workbench, if interested. It started as a police toy car, friction operated. A pile of available parts came from 635csi and 750i kits, and some scratch building was also needed. The wheels are Plymouth Cuda steelies. I'm still waiting for the 745i emblem to the trunk lid to arrive from RU, but the mail is veeeery slow/stalled for the reasons we all know. Thanks for watching, comments are ofcourse welcome.

Koellefornia Kid Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well done, Ismo! Brings back some childhood memories. Saw a lot of them back in the day and a school friends father had a white one with black leather interior. Very comfy ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Came out great! Can’t tell it was a friction toy in the first part of its life! I saw bmw emblems on a site in EU.. hiroboy have them in stock https://www.hiroboy.com/124_German_Car_Emblems_BMW--product--2382.html car-model had them but are out of stock at the moment. https://www.car-model-kit.com/bmw-german-car-emblems-1-24-msm-creation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I like it very much! Small thing I noticed is how you went around the chrome molding with a fine black outline. It really adds to the realism and is something I will now try in the future myself. Thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hard to believe that it started out as a toy! I wish they'd make more realistic toys like this nowadays, but I guess licensing has taken the motivation away from toy manufacturers. "Why pay for an expensive licensing agreement when we can freelance our own ideas. Besides, kids won't know the difference." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti2 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I ordered some 745i emblems abroad, but they never arrived. Maybe they got lost somehow somewhere, I don't know. But anyway this was a fun build, and I want to build a 635i too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Amazing what can be done with something starting life as a toy as Ismo has shown us. Some toys have great potential to be upgraded to proper scale models when they have a good body shell moulding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
