Porsche 911 Turbo - Project Winston

[Daxman]

 

I have an account on Instagram. I show off all my builds there as well. I was contacted and asked if I would do a commission build. I was given total artistic freedom. The only stipulation was that it had to be a Porsche 911 turbo 964. And it had to be black.

We agreed on a price. Doug sent me two Porsche 911 model kits.

Doug has a "real-life" Porsche that he's modifying into a rally/baja monster. It's in the shop right now. He's filming it and making a YouTube series about the progress. It's named Winston after his beloved dog.

Here's the hover version of Winston

I painted it twice with a gloss black. Both times the paint had serious imperfections. I did a total paint strip both times. What a pain.....I was about to do the third glass paint job when I decided that it looked 100x better in matte black primer. The matt black allows you to focus on the details.

I went a little crazy on the interior flight controls. There's a ton of buttons and levers.

Let me know what you think! Very fun build. I'll get some more pics up soon.

Dax every so often a builder comes along and just takes it to another level. Imagination and skill on full display. That's not you but ..........

 

I'm kidding. That's totally you. ? Honestly man, your hover vehicles look like something you'd see in a movie like the 5th Element. A great idea and the right amount of detail. Terrific stuff.

That's just too cool, very well done!

Another impressive conversion Dax.

Excellent !

I agree with Jantrix, this is exceptional. The whole propulsion thing is unknown to me, but it sure looks like it should work. The decision to go with the Matt finish looks like better idea and it still shows the body shapes well.

Thanks Rob! I always appreciate the kind comments.

Thank you David. I used Tamaya's matt black from a spray can. It always goes on with the best finish. It's often what I use as my primer.

The view that never gets seen. I used a braided Iphone charging cable for the plumbing lines.

Smaller lens inside the original headlamp bezel. Added a tiny turn signal. I love the turn signals in the intakes.

Grotesque use of Gundam parts. Although the front chin splitter was handmade and I think it's one of the best parts on the car.

My attempt at flight buttons and a touchscreen display.

That's killer. ?  Figures, when you have a commission that something sucks more time out of you.  Posted a link to your project in the Porsche Outlaws & Hot Rods group.

Just insane...I love it!

You Sir, are a sick man!

To do that to a Porsche will have the purists fuming, but the execution is spectacular! Great detail and excellent creativity. 

What's next a flying Lamborghini? Or maybe a hover School Bus.

Can't wait to see what's next.

[Mattilacken]

Incredible as always! 

[iamsuperdan]

Very cool!

[Dragonhawk1066]

I love it! Very cool!

[KSmith3620]

Very cool! Love it. I need to get out of my slump and really think outside the box and do some builds in this vein. Right up my alley. Very retro cyberpunk/dieselpunk/Shadowrun vibes.

Older post, don't know how I missed it, glad it was brought back up. Fabulous work!

[Chinacar]

That's cool!!! I love the creativity of this one. Should really be in a movie.

Oh man, do I love these builds!  So very cool!
