Great idea, and execution. It's coming together nicely.

God this looks like a fun build, Keep it up...

Any updates? I'm curious about this cool porsche

[DasWiesel]

Thanks!

Here´s a little update. I´ve finished the interior.









I´ve added some mesh to the speakers and flocking.

I´m still not satisfied with the body, this will need some time.

[Orion37170]

looks great!
are you going to add some police-specific details?

[DasWiesel]

I thought about it, but i don´t know where to put them.
Still open for suggestions.

may i say it in German please
na, 'ne Kelle auf die Rückbank, und nen CB unters Armaturenbrett.... das wäre doch schonmal ein Anfang

I´m very sorry to say this project died today!
After repainting the whole body again and finishing it with 2 Pack Clear Coat it totally warped while drying at 50°C in the oven.
Tested this with a lot of crap before and it worked very fine without any damage. This time not, don´t know why.

Obviously this was the last car body i will ever let dry this way.

As i´m not a big fan of the 964 and haven´t any spare bodies laying around this WIP will end here.

Thanks for watching and comments!

Too bad. I was thinking of this the other day. the green and white is the same scheme used on 'eco' taxi's here (toyota preis) .

That doesn´t imply that our Plizei is "eco", does it????

Too sad thta this project won´t work out. I was really looking forward to see it becoming true. It was very unique.

Hi Julian,

I'm very sad to hear that the project ended at that stage. I never put the bodies in the oven to dry. I paint on a modified coat hanger and just put the model in the dust-proof showcase for a couple of days. Smells really good once you open it

Please keep the interior and all the parts, somebody will have a spare body to help you out....

Don't let yourself down, not all modeling projects end in disaster!!!

Cheers from KA

[DasWiesel]

Didn´t throw away all the other parts like interior. Maybe i will buy a new body sometime and finish this later.
Just can´t see any 911 anymore right now.

Well, may I suggest you do some work on that excellent 612 limo???

[DasWiesel]

I finally pulled myself together, bought a new body and finished this thing!

Blue lights were made from 5mm LEDs, siren from scratch. Decals and license plates are self-made.

I will take some good photos and post them in the Finished-Gallery soon.
