Absolutely Fabulous !! :thumbsup:

gorgeous!!!!!

Incredibly realistic! :worshippy

That is an amazing build. I have the Tamiya kit a couple of boxes down in my to do stack. I was worried about the color of the decals being so off-white, but after seeing yours, I'm not so worried about it now. Of course mine will be built out of box, but it is great to have such a good looking build for insporation. Can you recommend a source for some photos of the real car? I've not had much luck in my searches.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the 6-series BMW's Your build does the cars incredibly proud.

damn that detail stunning

The chassis is amazing and the weathering really compliment all the details. We have an old 7 series in my household and having recently taken a look in the engine bay, yours looks fantastically real. The diorama is simple but works well. I'm wondering what happened to the passenger side window though.

I know this one from somewhere... Nevertheless - this one amazes me everytime I see it.

The detailing is beyond me and the whole presentation is outstanding. I wish, I´d had this kit but then again I wouldn´t be able to match this result. You set the bar for all the Schnitzer BMW´s being built in the future.

Incredible detail and well executed build. The driver putting on the balaclava is a nice touch. Well done.

I've seen your model when I was looking for a reference pictures for my build a while back. It's great to see all of the completed pictures.

So realistic. Unbelievable really.

I started this car a long time ago, but never got round to finishing it. Shame I threw it away...

Perfectly executed. I really like the weathering of the underside. Looks very realistic and race worn.

an incredible accomplishment!

superbly outstanding.

utterly stupendous.

wow.

This is one sweet build. I like your BMW! Nice setting too! Well done!

I present how many it is executed works. It shockingly!

I could follow the building process and have seen the model live in the Frankfurt Model Show - great job, much details !!

great project. I love it.

Excellent work, an excellent bit of building and great topic.

Superb :thumbsup:

WOW.... just wow. What else can I say?

What a beautiful diorama of this 635 :runaround::runaround::runaround:
I bet you win prices whit this one!

1 question what kind of color did you use or mix for the coolwater reservoir in the enginebay?

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am blown away! If I haven't seen it here I would havet hought this was a real car. The level of detail is in a league of it's own.

@Hanspeter

Yes of course as a swiss there have to be a swiss driver.:naughty:

Actually this was my first very high detailed Modelcar i made. From this time on i was just building like this. Because i love it.

Regards Roger

Wow,I realy like this one!!!!

Wow that looks very realistic, you only miss the smell of petrol, oil and burned rubber.

I love that kit, still have it somewhere, that car is killer, but kit is the best plastic kit I ever saw (or my mind made me think that :))
Model looks perfect.

Hy Roger,
congrats for this one!!! A lot of work and efforts. Great.
I remember your miniature. You took part with that stunning one at the GMM in Nürnberg back in 2009. An impressive project.

All the best!
Jochen
