Dann Tier Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 I'm back to this build again as well...….more photos soon!!
Dann Tier Posted September 23, 2018 Author Posted September 23, 2018 I will be back to work on this soon!

Kurt, you are right about this. In the early 80‘s there was a German/Swiss movie called „Car Napping“. It featured several cars by bb, also the (first?) Imperator. See this trailer, Isdera appearing at 0:37 minutes:

Dann Tier Posted October 26, 2018 Author Posted October 26, 2018 hey, everyone!, just wanted you to know that I have started work on this one again!....
Lowlife ! ! Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Interesting build Dann, love the original so I'm looking forward to more on this ! Just an idea, have you seen some of the pro mod builders on here, they use a jig with bits to hold various things in place. Getting the wheels/axles in place, the engine at the correct height/position etc. Thought it might be a good idea for this, to keep things from moving about ?
Ich_Will Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Car Napping looks like a fantastic movie. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Hey Dann - excellent idea. I have known about this car since it first came out (and the Panther 6 too) and thought it was one of the coolest ever built. I have the Road&Track issues still. It has been on my wish list since then. I definitely will be watching this one and sign me up for one of those resin kits! Edited October 26, 2018 by djflyer

capricorn71 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 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

capricorn71 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 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.
