N.E.S. Rallye Porsche 911 POKER!!!!

[gionc]

Where N.E.S. stand for..... Never Ending Story..... LOL!

Ok, back to us: my goal

911SC Esso: (Monte or TdC '80)





911Carrera Gitanes, Monte '78





911SC Martini, Safari '78





911SC/RS Rothmans, 1000 pistes '84 (o Tour Auto 85)

[gionc]

So far they're 4 models to do also!

Ok let me to introduce the "starter kit"





and few parts would be cannibalized (ok I admit, I'm cheap, read cloned..) from the following great kits:



Not to mention..... the starting point:



like you'll see this Esci 934 is spoiler and fender less....

sweeet, I will watch that for sure, exactly my taste of cars.

Ok: two words about my choise of to use the Fuji EM kits insthead the Esci 934: EM 911's offers multiple options combining modulars parts like spoilers and bumpers, and much details so....

So far, a plan:

911 Esso: Base is a 911 turbo (kerbside one)

- Almeras front spoiler, modified from the 934 one
- 934 fenders
- duck tail spoiler

911 Gitanes: base is the 911 Turbo EM

- 911 '74 RS front/back bumpers
- Almeras front spoiler, modified from the 934 one
- correction on turbo "strange" fenders
- 911turbo back wing

911 Martini: base 911 Carrera (narrow)

- scratch bull bars/grilles

911 Rothmans Group B: base is a 911 Turbo '85

- Modified back wing
- '74 RS back bumper
- Turbo front bumper

911 Esso:

I started with the front spoiler: the kind Almeras spoiler was created modifing (width and high) the 934 one, inlets was modified..



A first mock-up:





Kind plan also for Gotti rims!

And now, speaking of 934.... something for my friend Andy: I think you all will guess next our epic shared thread...

[da_ashman]

Wow Gio, thats one hell of a few projects your starting, Cant wait to see what you do with them!! Your 550 was amazing!!

PB trouble fixed

I'm lucky man.....

I done something special on the Esso car for glass gaskets: thinking of use PE gaskets on 911S/RS/RSR and 911R I re-engineered the kit to house spare gaskets with a surround (like resin kits), obviously in this one I wouldn't use PE gaskets, too flat, I'm scratchbuilding mine by plastic:

the surround:



the gasket (back) by 1mm diam rod (sanded then to obtain a semi-circular section)



and the same job in front



Same threatment on sides, where I was able to reuse kit's gaskets (but there I'll sure use PE gaskets, they're flat also on real thing)





Fuel cap was drilled out (hard to rescribe) and filled with 2Kputty and plastic

I also sculpt the inner surfaces, but I'll probably use it on a future street 911 (911S?)



So I started to work on the Gitanes Carrera:

body is the wide kind (turbo) and fenders are just painted on the original car (bolt on only a recent replica), but Fuji turbo looks a bit strange since the shapes are extruded starting from the narrow body, so I tried to modify in the typical rounded profile



Than I worked on the body: this would be a full open model (and a test for future's 934s... ), all inner surfaces was recreated with 0.5mm thick styrene





Door's panel still needs all its details





And finally a test with RSR (cut) bumpers, Almeras splitter and turbo wing:





And speaking of the SC/RS I worked on the '85turbo spoiler cutting and sanding until I got a convincing "carrera" wing, the kind with wide grill

I will definately follow this scratchbuilding and kitbashing madness since I have some of the decal sets myself. I have been planning the Esso-Build as well as the Almeras build since awhile now. Luckily I can copy a lot from your ideas - except you claim some sort of copyright on them.

Man, I´m excited. Thanks for sharing this.

LOL!!!!
Be and share on forums is a whole balance between to give and to keep, more than a ego medicine . may be this time is my turn to offer a bit

[MPWR]

Narrow-Turbo-Gio:

I look forward to seeing a 911Gio!

My taste in cars exactly! I will have fun watching(/building) along....

old school racing car, I'm in.

Nice scratch work. Way to show that plastic who's boss. For what it's worth, Evergreen Plastic sells a 1mm half-round cross-section (Item No. 240) if you get tired of making your own.

Thanks, in this case I think would be better be free to fold the rod in any direction, and sand back then, you kno, when you forl a semi circular (or squared) pipe would be trick mantain a planar surface in the back

Gio, those are awesome! I have all those kits and decals and was planning on sometime or another doing these for my Porsche collection. This will be fun to watch. I do wish someone would come out with a nice 934 or 935 transkit for the Fujimi kits, hint hint...
