1/12 Kremer K3 Porsche 935

The rims are ready.I made a two part rim because of the painting job.Some cars needs a silver color and so you dont have to make a mess while painting it. :oops: :oops:



just out of the mold look them like this.



a bit sanding they look better.



into the wheels they look even better i think.



backside is not a beauty,but who cares.



Its not so easy to get them out of the mold because they are very fragile.But it works with patience.

Body and wheels came out well

[Capri-Schorsch]

Thanks a lot.
Today only a small update.The bigger parts are already done.



Now i will take a closer look how to make the windows and stuff.
All that tiny stuff like wiper,position lights and rear lights have to be made.

Just used the resin saw with the porsche today.




Engine cover could take off now.


Airintakes are open,need some sanding now.



Front hood is open too.


Position lights and turn indicator are done. rear lights are ready for casting. need some smaller parts and the transkit will be ready.

looking good so far





some spots still needs some sanding to get the chassis tighter into the resin body.
will cast these inner structure to the small resin part for the inner mold.so i have it ready for other copies.

today was a healthy day.



some have to be smaller but it works.

First two livery's are test fitted and can be printed for my now.





The apple one needs two DIN A4 sheets because of the size of the stripes.Its the car driven in LeMans 1980.



Here are the LeMans winner from 1979.



Templates for the windows are also done.Michael will print me the windows including the logos onto a clear sheet.Excited how that looks at the end.

tiny update on the K3







the printed windows screens looks very< good.Only the front window is not the best option in my mind.Its too flat,so i made a vac formed windscreen for the ones who dont got the tamiya original window.
Decals are also looking great.Great job by Michael!

tiny evolution of the K3 body work....









All transkit parts are made now.Have to find some more time to put them all together and start selling it.

keep racing!

Looks awesome. I'm really amazed by people who can make their own resin molds of big things, like entire bodies. I have tried a couple of times, and failed miserably.

Hi,big step forward today. The Porsche stands on his own wheels. Was much more work than i first thought. The body was sitting much too high on the chassis.I needed to sand 3 mm from the Tamiya parts to get a better ride hight. The front shock absorbers had to be cut for round about 2,5mm . The rear wheels still needs 1,5mm more width to fill the wheel arches.Now i need some longer screws to hold them in place. The front wheels are perfect fit in my eyes. Here you can see the parts where i needed to sand down massively. enough for today regards Christian

You just do my head in with your skills. Looking great.

[lovegt40]

Really like what you are doing there Chris.

[Capri-Schorsch]

I thinks its done now.
The transkit is ready.Only need to make a little manual for the parts and were they should glued to.







Time to go one with my build.

Hello Christian,

this is an amazing build, i love this one.

Will it be only a transkit or are you going to make a full kit?

I have some 1/12 Porsche kits, but they all have their destination.

Looks like I have to find one more!

Great skills you have, not only this one, but all your models.
