Mattilacken

Ja det var super kul! Det var ett unikt objekt så jag förstår varför. Okej, jag bor i Gällivare.

Great to hear!

Yes, its the 4/5 number, se below. Yes i am from North of Sweden ?

Nice looks just like we have it here in the winters! great work! Did he buy it?

Really nice! Neither I can belive thats 1/50! thats tiny! such a great work!

Such a nice diorama! and congrats to the publication in Wheels! I knew the other day when viewing this thread that it was familiar but it was today i realised from where

Thansk for the vid! Helped me to get some body parts done for my camaro. Some comands seems different for me though and the Shift N did not work for me, to shift the normal, but i could do that in the Splitter.

I have been jumping between my ongoing projects like a kangaroo, but hey, that’s what I like. Did a new firewall for this one and installed an other set of turbos, also made a new intake pics comes when I have it printed.

Epic work! I enjoy seeing your progress and how you did it al!

Any one else that have built this kit, does it seem like the body is to tall? I am reffereing to the cage that is clearly visible in the side window. Also the difusor seems to be to close to the ground and to long for the LM variant. I know the later cars hade completley differnt diffusor and intake system. Thse also ran an other air inlett during 2002 at least but at Lemans they did have the naca ducts. This is a picture later that year at Petit Lemans Here is the ride height of mine since i lowered the front, the gaps are also looking better.

Nice

Such a great diorama! and nice individual builds!

Epic!

Sweet build!

Nice project!

Nice work and nice detailíng!

Great model! Looks epic and if i hadent seen the last pic and knew it was a model I could hav been fooled that it was a 1:1!

Nice builds! I like this scale as well as the smaler ones

Som pics from today’s progress and with the BBS wheels. Here can be seen that the ride height up front needs to be adjusted.. and I would like to have posable steering. I sorted that on the race truck in one way, let’s see if I can fix that here as well. Body seems to ride high on the rear supports for the wing which results in quite big gap between diffuser and body. I think I need to upgrade the front brakes, they look to small in my eyes.

I have for a long time wanted to build one of these but I have not felt that I could, until now when I feel that I have enough skills. Started this kit a wile back and posted it under my Arctic garage thread, and yes I do have many kits going simultaneously. I bought this as a glue bomb, I striped the paint of many parts and got started on the chassi. The body was not touched gladly, and the reason why I bought it. I do have one more of an other release that I might build at some point. I have no transkit so it down to making my own version of grills and vents and such. 3d printer and cad skills might be involved along the way. I won’t make a replica per say since I really don’t like the wheels they ran and I am the one that will be watching it on the shelf so I will use something that I thinks suits it, either Tamika multi spoke wheels used on the DTM car which resemble what C5R had later, or I will be using an 3d modeled wheel that I have which is a BBS used by many but they are deeper than the c5r wheels. well on to the progress, I tried to thin out the body in many places to be able to look more in scale, but I went to hard in one spot on the hood, thought I had to do a nose transplant from the C5R Silverado body that is left over from before, but I managed to salvage this one. I then cribbed the hood out and I am now in the progress of filling the gaps a bit with CA and baking soda. I have opened up all vents in the front but decided to leave the sides of the front grill so I have them as support when making my mesh. Right now I working on relocating the filler since the LM cars have it on the LH side behind the drivers door. And only a mesh outlet in the back. I will also be making the later intake since I like the all carbon intake. That will also result in relocating the coils. Y i am trying to improve all the areas I just can’t stand on the revel body. The window frames toils have been 25mm thick if equal in 1:1. Also the air outlets are to small. As well as the lights are way of. Here are som comparisons.

Beautifull work on that body! and wheels suits it verry well! Functioning hood pins! thats super advanced! i bought the MR.hobby hood pins that looks the part but a bit easier to build.

Got some fresh pictures of the 1:1 from the curent owner. feels sad to se it in this shape.

Started separating the body parts and did some repairs of my work on thinning out the body panels which created warping. Seems sorted now.

I have had good luck with PrimaCreator water washable resin and yes its very little odor and easy to clean with wather and a wipe of with Isopropanol on the equipment befor next run.

Got me some suplies directly from China, 100pcs of #11 blade, 3 knifes, bunch of 1 mm magnets, brushes of various sorts to share with my other half and some cleaning stuff.
