i am speechless

Wow, great detail on the engine.

It will really work, isn't it?
Next time I'll prepare myself better before opening this thread, and sit on the floor!...

Well I didn't posted yet, but I was looking this thread from scaleracecar.com forum.

Awesome built

No words to describe it! In fact I don't think anyone has yet invented a word to describe it!

I'll try: Superawesomefantabulicious.
Yes, that will do nicely.

Fantastic work. All the best of luck in finishing, though I doubt you will need it...

JUST AMAZING!!!! :eek7: :eek2:

Unreal!!!..... I mean TOO REAL!!!!!

Can someone help me lift my jaw off the floor please?

This is simply astonishing. Great work! :sunglasse

oi can i have the first drive in the car when its finished. It looks good.

As impressive a finished model is, this is why I love this forum. To see the actual model taking shape, and when it's done like this, one can only take the hat off, scrape the foot and humbly ask for moore of this. This has to be, like many others allready said, one of the most spectacular builds in a long time. I can't wait to see it finished, I've followed the thread for a while and wanted to tell you that your work is a masterpiece.

Cheers!
Niclas

that looks great! i would not be supriced if it will work to drive with;) keep upp the amazing work on it;)

sweet! are you going to have full wiering(sp) in the engine?

Kurtl, dein Capri ist echt das detaillierteste Modell, was ich je gesehen habe.....
scheinst ja echte Uhrmacherhände zu haben ;)

Last steps before paint?... I don't know why, my heart began to beat quicker when I read these words...

Sure I'll wish to be 1/24 too when it will be completed!...

:thumbsup:

Mate...you need to go and work at Tamiya.....I'm sure you could even show them a thing-or-2

what do you use to make the silver ducting ???

I totally agree !

oh man! I was going to build this car actually... LOL.. Maybe I should think again :) This is spectacular. two things...

1. Please please german & english speaking people.... translate what kurt has to say :) he mentioned twice that he cant speek well and that is why he doesnt write. I believe we have alot to learn from this master modeller and he looks willing to teach... just a suggestion.

2. Kurt do you have reference photos of the car that can help me with the build. and is the engine parts (silver plated) from 1/24 scale diecast car?

simply stunning.....

@Toughbeard
if the Model finished, i make a report of this build and i becomes translated also in English.
The complete engine is from the Monogram IMSA Mustang and i have any pics from the Capri

Kurtl

Hi Kurt!

you said "you have any pics" is that u have many or dont have any :) I am assuming many but just in case ;)

Well I have 5 project to finish till this model so I have time to figure out and prepare... plus now we got a great mentor on the capri :)

HOLD ON A SEC.

ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU SCRATCHBUILT MOST OR ALL OF THE SUSPENSION AND ENTERIOR, AND THE ENGINE!!!!

WHAT TOOLS ARE YOU USING?

HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THAT Dash.


WELL, MAYBE I DIDN"T READ ENOUGH, BUT I DON"T KNOW, ITS HARD TO BELEIVE THAT YOU BUILD LIKE 80% OF THAT CAR. DAMN THATS CRAZY.
BUT AWESOME.

Kurtl, you're doing an amazing (for lack of better words) job with this build, and i truly respect your talent and devotion.

keep it up and dont quit

This is definitively the best progress thread I’ve ever followed.
There are no words to describe the perfection and dimension of your work kurtl.

I've never looked at a Capri like that, mouth opened and eyes round...
I'm wondering if I won't prefer this naked version to the finished & painted one...
:thumbsup: to express my feeling of following the thread of a masterpiece...
I'll stay a few minutes like that, scrolling up & down, before closing... :eek:

C'mon you must have a real one parked on the drive as the ultimate reference guide.

Right click/save. You have your own folder on my hard drive... such masterful work! You should do a whole new one for paint, I just love seeing it all the different colors of different materials. Just shows how amazing it is! Still can't wait to see it done, though!!

Snap Fast Capri. :lol:
The most laborious build of the year. :thumbsup:

i think i know who is gonna win moty

nice work bro. Will you add braided hoses to your engine components.

I cannpt wait to see this car fully painted. I just hope the paint does not hide the full detail of the peices that you have created.

C'mon you must have a real one parked on the drive as the ultimate reference guide.

:iagree:


i have no words fore it! but it is the real deal... but in scale;)

it is just like a amazement park here~!!!!

looks real good! ore rather Awesome!

I have said before that this is an amazing build, but here comes my critisism...You have gone so far up to now, but your wiring seems way too big, i.e., the guage of wire should be finer/smaller. The wrong scale thickness of the wiring can suddenly make the illusion that something is not right. It's also very important to ensure the wiring has scale droop, make sure the electrical wiring does not go against the law of gravity. I just want to see the best for this model...not trying to be mean!

look really great ! but aren'T the wire a bit out of scale ?

dang its hard to believe that is 1/24

dang its hard to believe that is 1/24


I am in total agreement. I know for a fact I do not have the talent, or the patience to make something this detailed. Kurtl, I applaud you for your skills and your abilities. keep up the good work. I look foraward to seeing many a more models from you!!!

es ist zehr ausgezeichnet!!!

The colored wiring look a little out of scale, but as it's not finished yet, I'm not sure... It may look more than ok when finished! (for example, the one near the steering wheel ore the one running on the floor at the right side look fine! ;) )
Anyway, I'm impressed again! Another thing I don't even imagine being able to do...
...
Damn! The more I stare at these pics, the more I find unseen details... How many miles of wires are you going to put in it? :eek: :D
...
:thumbsup: is not enough!

…………..production, the interior is now finished!!!!
