Just started my last project. Something really different now………
Inspired by some really outstanding, unique and breathtaking customized historic cars (especially Porsches….;-) I decided to do my own one!
There are a lot of “hot-rod-outlaw-customized-walker-bandit-customized”-Porsches and due to the fact that the 356 A-type is one of my all-time-favorite-classic-cars that was the combination I’ve chosen.
I’ve decided to call my Porsche RAUFBOLD, an (even older) german word for
“rough neck” / ruffian or “fire-eater” (a boy / young man who wants to bicker with others).
The “old” Fujimi 356-Porsche-kits are awesome!!! The perfect base for my project. First of all I wanted to create some unique and cool wheels / rims. After thinking quite a while I made a hybrid out of the superb / fine casted Fujimi-rims by cutting out the inner circle and turned metal parts from scaleproduction. Then the stretch-wall-tyres from the range of Mike’s articles and the wheels appearance is quite satisfying.
The side windows were closed with sheet styrene, all holes of the body work were closed and the decorative strips under the doors were removed. My Raufbold will “grow” idea by idea, a lot of crazy thoughts are still running through my brain.
The seats will become a totally worn out look therefore I “reworked” them…;-)
That’s it for now, thanks for looking!
good fight - good night
