    Today I had some time to continue work here. I created and printed new mirrors, as well as the covers for the folding headlights. This is what the covers will look like on the model. There are also new seats (in Liberty Walk style). Tomorrow there will be more work.

    I had been thinking about what to do with the toy-like brakes. The solution was to replace everything. The brakes now consist of 3 parts. In the middle is the attachment to the suspension, where the brake disk is put on, then comes the spacer with the wheel nuts, on which the rim is put. This is how the 3 parts look on top of each other on the suspension. There's also something new for the interior.

    Hello, today I have another small update. I've tried to increase the degree of reality. Here is the trunk. My hinges will be added to the front, with the hood dipping behind the bumper when opened. I continued with the door hinges. These will also increase the degree of realism. (I got this idea from the Dann Tier. I hope he's not angry about it.) And here they are inserted. In the picture, the hinge that can be seen in the 2nd picture with the door has already been inserted. Here, too, the doors will then dip behind the fenders when opened, as on the original. I hope I have been able to inspire you a little with this.

    Hello, I've continued designing on the PC. Namely the exhaust system. Here are the printed parts. On the left in the picture the intercooler with the hoses to the turbo. In the bottom center are the connections for the exhaust pipes from the manifold and on the right is the actual exhaust system with the turbo connections. This is how it is installed in the rear. And here it is put together. Still without turbos. This model will probably be the first one I will put in the display case with the back facing forward. 😀

    Just a small update today. I have widened the interior tub by 1.2 mm on the right and left. It's hard to see the white Evergreen stripes in the rear corners. The side panels were also lowered by the required 1mm. This was necessary because otherwise the center and then also the rear window had 1mm clearance to the roof. This also had to be filled. Here I cut away the plastic in the middle. This came from the wheel arch and went around to the rear. It's needed to hang the body with the underbody. At the back you can still see a small part in the frame. I don't need this plastic, as I had to remove the piece to attach the body. You'll find out why later. I need the Evergreen construction for my solution to connect the underbody with the body.

    Evening, it goes on here of course. But unfortunately not a single part of this kit fits. A lot of adjustment work is necessary and really holds up. Nevertheless, here is a sample for you. There were already a few cables. Then I printed 3 versions of the turbos. Which version do you like best? My favorite at the moment is the top one. You can also see the lettering clearly.

    It is scale 1/24

    The body kit is similar to the one available from Liberty Walk. The bi-turbo is a fantasy version as I build it. I saw it on a picture of John Sibal on the internet.

    Scale is 1/16

    Hello everyone. Now I'll start with the building report. First the box . Unfortunately, my partner got the wrong model. I had actually intended to rebuild my Bi-Turbo Countach, which I had already built in 1:24, on a larger scale. As a reminder. Well, I'm also quite good at 3D modeling, so I got started. Body kit created and printed This will certainly involve a major material battle, as I have to remove the molded-on extensions. There will also be changes to the interior. First parts printed. Again with macro. I don't yet know which version of the dashboard insert I'm going to use. That's why I printed 2 options. After an hour of sawing, there was no turning back. Then some sanding and minor adjustments were made. Now a fitting test. Then I went back to the instruments and gave them a little more depth. A few more parts. And more bodywork. And more parts. That's it for now, but it's still going to be exciting.

    Hello, I present here my McLaren 570s with bodykit. I created and printed all parts of the bodykit myself in 3D. The paint job wasn't that easy either, but I think I did it well. See for yourself. The driver's door is fitted with a self-printed hinge, so I can open and close it true to the original.

    I spent a total of 2 years designing it. But with breaks. There were always new ideas or improvements, and I also had some problems getting the model printable, creating connections, etc.

    Hello, I have now completed the prototype model. Even if it hasn't turned out perfectly, I think it's pretty good.

    Small update
  15. MarcelT4
    Hi, nothing has happened here for a long time. Today I had some time and put something together. As you can see, there are only a few parts left. And also all the small parts, such as door handles, windshield wipers, etc.

    Hello, as the rear windows on my Scirocco were tinted, I did the same on the model. Here are the results. The rear window has already been inserted.

    Hello everyone, today I just did a fitting test.
  18. MarcelT4
    Good morning, the Scirocco was also sold in the USA. It just had different headlights and bumpers

    Had a day off today. Of course I got something done. The Dashboard. Then I redesigned and printed the blinker lenses. I had to do a fitting test right away. Just like with the rear lights. I tried to make the stripes with Edding, they look quite good, but in macro they are a horror. Now write something.

    As soon as everything goes well with the files for 3D printing, I will offer them for sale.

    Hello everyone, it's been a long time since anything happened here. First holidays and then high season with us. But something has always been done in between. Painted the body and rims... ...other parts too. The interior. The lights. And now the engine. What do you think?
  22. MarcelT4
    These are ATS rims. These here:

    Today we continued with a few fitting tests. Unfortunately, some parts still don't really fit without major adjustments.
  24. MarcelT4
    I quickly put the parts together loosely.
  25. MarcelT4
    Today I had a go at the clear parts. It wasn't so easy to create them in such a way that the structures are visible after printing. But it seems to have been successful. Then the rear axle had to be changed again because the 16V has disc brakes there. Last but not least, my rims.
