Dashboard is on its way...
-
I think it will be a one-off. I fear the 3D printed parts will be quite expensive. Nobody (except me ? ) would pay so much for a model car. To do a resine kit is to effortful. We will see...
-
Just wow!! AMAZING! I started with the dashboard. When finished, the chassis will be next to complete. Maybe I am ready with the CAD data by August.
-
Next step, grille is ready; I also added loudspeaker mesh to the door panel as I would have wanted it. The original round cover does not appeal to me. To do: - door handle & lock - Naca duct front right - chassis frontend, engine compartement - center console - dashboard - taillights - thermoforming mould for all windows
-
While Dann has a real model in the works I am still tweaking the CAD files. The door panel is quite ready.
-
Wroommm!
-
I added some details to the hood: - Isdera logo and eagle - wheel housings Also I started to detail the inner side of the doors
-
Just amazing! Great stuff!
-
This is GREAT! It will be a very cool model! BTW: the parts offered by gbtr6 won‘t fit. The Nazca M12 has a BMW V12 engine. The Isdera Imperator uses a Mercedes V8 engine (M119). The rear axle is from the Porsche 928. Regarding the front axle I am not sure. It‘ s a double wishbone configuration.
-
Progress to the hood: • window slots • window notch • valve cover • hexagon lattice
-
Cool!! Nice to see the progress. Looks very promising - well done! So while I only have some stupid CAD files, you have a real model. I see it´s going to be really fine model.
-
Just my thoughts! I could not resist to start with the hood and the doors before the chassis is finished. But now I can be sure to get all parts done. The CAD system is tricky sometimes.
-
That is correct. I am doing a model of the first version, which is an evolution of the bb CW311 - a one of unveiled 1979. picture from Wikipedia of the first Imperator series. picture from bb Buchmann of the CW311 Both cars were styled and designed by Eberhard Schulz. I met him when he still ran Isdera in Leonberg-Warmbronn around 2005.
-
Thank you! I added more details to the front and started with the chassis. To have all parts ready will take some time, but I‘m confident to get it done.
-
Moving forward. The front is almost ready. There will be seven 3D printed parts. I still wonder how to do the glass parts...
-
The front is getting better... some details are missing, but thats a thing to solve. @Dann: could you be so kind and measure the width of the seat? Mine are still burried in a moving box
-
So this is the actual status of my 3D-Model. The main surfaces are done, all of the details of the outer shell, the interior and the engine compartment have to be done.
-
So here are some pictures of the cardboard model. Unfortunately taken then with a Motorola RazrV3, so not that high quality. The 3D-Modeling is ongoing, it´s quiet difficult to find appropriate pictures of the side, front, back and top view. So it ´s a lot of try and error.

Hello and greetings from Germany. While searching for a blueprint of the isdera imperator 108i I found this thread. Amazing to see somebody else, who wants to have a 1/24 model of the imperator. When I was a teenager (35 years ago) I wrote a letter to Tamiya, if they could do a kit. They answered to do so, if the imperator is build in larger numbers. That never happened, so I decided to build a kit myself. After drawing the blueprint (there was no internet in 1993) I started to build a cardboard model to figure out the proportions. Then I bought a Mercedes 500 SEC "Lorinser" Kit from Tamiya to carry over the engine, gearbox and seats. I made molds and did die-cast parts for these items. Then I drawed the dashboard and isdera logos on my Atari ST. After that, I started to build a master model from wood, so I could do a mold for the body. Unfortunately there where life-changing moments and the project stopped. But I never forgot about it and decided to start it again more than 20 years later. As I now have access to 3D-printing, I will try to shape the body with a 3D modeling program. Due to a relocation recently, my already existing parts for the isdera are buried somewhere in a moving box. As soon as they appear, I will do some pictures. So maybe I finally will have a isdera model in another 20 years? Honestly I would be happy to have it ready in 5 years. Hope you will be quicker! Best regards, Erich
