Re: BMW M3 E30 DTM 1/12 Conversion/Scratchbuild
The new EVO tires arrived today.
Looking much better than before.

after.Thats how a race tire should look like.
At the back i have to sand it a bit.
The final roll cage version is printed.Looking good and should fit fine.

Re: BMW M3 E30 DTM 1/12 Conversion/Scratchbuild
Thanks a lot guys!
Finaly some new pics with the corrected tires and some white primer on.
In white it looks quiet good.I hope the primer is thick enough to use it after smooth sanding for the base color with any new layers.
Should work,i hope.
In the meantime i offer this Evo kit for 140€ in the forums i am on or for 150€ at ebay.
Just leave me a message if you are interested in a kit.
regards Christian

Re: BMW M3 E30 DTM 1/12 Conversion/Scratchbuild
Yet another stunning example of your craftsmanship. I love it - and the E30 as well. Back in the days
my uncle used to have a black E30 M3 "rocketship". The only thing I remember is that I had like NO
legroom sitting behind him - just about enough to put your legs there, no more.
Oh and what's also funny is that for some reason the car looks small in those pics, like.. not 1/12
but 1/18 or something, even with the cutting mat underneath. However, I know the dimensions it
must have and that the mat is a A3 sized, but still.

No plan to open the areas between the spokes of the rims Christian? Would be great to see them "open", maybe with a break disc in the back
Take a stand!

Re: BMW M3 E30 DTM 1/12 Conversion/Scratchbuild
I think I won't open the wheels.
You always come to an point where you have to say stop with the details.
It was a long way to come to this point, with three versions of wheels and stuff. Now it's time to move on the building to get a result.
It's possible to open the wheels from the back. You need a lathe or a mill.
For the casting it was easier to close it and get a better result without major flaws.
There are lots of M3 fanatics out there who finds lots of mistakes. Nearly every year the shape of the wings and the roll cage was changed.
Enough room for scratchbuilding,I think.
Regards Christian
