3d Print: Porsche 962 in 1/8 scale
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:56 pm
Hi, just want to show my latest project.
Its an Porsche 962 in huge 1/8 scale.
Never thought about that massive scale so far.But when i was searching for the Kyosho McLaren MP4/4 in 1/8 i found the user Sean Main here who is collecting 1/8 or bigger stuff.
I liked the idea to make something for him he cant find anywhere. So i started with the Porsche 962 for him.
The white parts are printed in resin from a chinese company. Thats way too big for my home printers.
I decided to let them also print some parts from others cars which i was printing at home to see any differences.
and i let them print the bodywork in 3 parts like the real thing got.
Now i simply had to cut the tubes of stabilization off and put both parts together. Works great.
Wheels are also made in 2 different designs.
The grey parts are home printed to check any issues with fitment. Only some small adjustments needed so far.
There will be a curbside version of the Porsche and a version with more details. My goal is to make an engine for it thats the reason i made the engine bay like it is. Should fit for the engine at the end.
Its a nice and very interesting project so far.
The body parts are some kind of Frankenstein thing.I used 3 different files to create this one. Its not so smooth than it could be but its ok.Sanding is not a problem in this scale.
regards Christian
