The work you are putting in the gearbox and engine is amazing. I like your work very much. Your idea of using threaded nuts and bolts is great, I think I'm going to use your idea because it looks so real. I hardly can't wait on more progress on this build.

I have never been a fan of this Porsche but this thread is super. this engine/gearbox is being held together with nuts and bolts and not cement.

Looking utterly brilliant at the moment! Are you going to use the kit decals? I've got the decals to do the silver Martini scheme which looks great, but I think the original Martini car ran the flat-8. Saw the Gunnar replica at the Le Mans Classic (with the flat-6) - it does look very cool! Also have an older second kit with a broken roof. Been tempted to roof chop it and make it into the Gerhard Mitter 910 Bergspyder! Have a look for it on the internet ...it looks nuts! :)

Fantastic job, for sure to follow.

I'm impressed by your photo skills also: would you like to share something of your photo set-up? Also thiny details like screws come out neat, well balanced and perfectly on-focus.

Looks great. I love all the nuts and bolts. It adds so much to the overall effect. You must have spent a fortune on all that brass hardware!

You should start planning a visit to Chicago next April to show this off at Ferrari Expo 2011(and also Porsche's).
Chicago is number 2 after Warsaw for its Polish population.(visit relatives as an excuse???)

Hahaha! I have no relatives in Chicago.
I do not know whether I finish in April next year, because my building has a very weak pace.
1. Family
2. Work
and finally at third place is my hobby :( as shown by my many unfinished models

Beautiful work Mark. This week I recived my Porsche 910. I'm sure I can learn a lot from your build. Wich version are you going to make. I'm thinking of building the Nurburgring "Lufthansa"version. Keep up the fine work.

Eric

M.Boy

05-16-2010, 03:54 PM

I build this version which is on the box with the number 17, Nurburgring 1000km Race Overall Winner.

The next step is implementation of a mechanical tachometer, which made no provision for Tamiya.
So it looks 1:1

Looks great Mark. Where did you get the detailed pictures, they're very usefull. If you don't mind I save these pictures for later use on my own Porsche 910. Your work is excellent, can't wait for more progress.

Hello.
I'm following your fantastic WIP.
I have the same kit on my pile, and will inspire myself from your stunning work, if I may?
I have a question:
From what book did you got the pictures.
Thank you for your answer.
Greetings, and once again, congrats.

Thank you very much Jamme.
I do not have any books about the Porsche 910. All pictures found on the Internet (google). Many hours of searching. Does not have too many photos detail of porsche 910 but the model 906 is very similar. Porsche 906 photos, you can find out more.

Cool shop, conversation between the guys in the picture could be like that

"- How can I help you?
- I'd like the second from the left of the first shelf from the bottom
- Pack?..."

Super model,craftmanship AND pictures, this is truly will be a scale masterpiece when completed. The clear vacuform parts for accurate depiction of the real parts on the 1/1 car just show how far your detailing is going...again SUPERB!!!

ScratchBuilt

06-22-2010, 03:21 PM

There's some great stuff going on here - liking it a lot! Hmmm...vacuforming parts is not something I've tried myself, but the results here look well worth the effort. If I end up making a 956 as my next project, I may have to give it a go - headlight covers, screen, side windows, etc.

I agree about the relative lack of coverage of the 910 in most Porsche books - which is a shame given how there is a design progression running through to the 917. The best I've found is probably in Paul Frere's 'The Racing Porsches', although it's mainly text about the development of the car rather than a photo reference. You seem to have found plenty of engine photos online, though...

Keep going!

I think they made them, they are just molded in, or is that the shape of the block?

Very nice work!

Do you know if the Porsche factory cars had safety harnesses during the Nurburg race in 1967?
Keep going on your super job.

I do not know for sure but it seems to me that they had.
Tamiya has made seat belts in set.
